One resolution came from all those conflicting ideas. It was high time ; for I no longer saw the faintest chance of staving ofi" the crisis, or of tempor- isins: with M. Chandeau, whose face became more sour every day. I resolved to go to Mme. Rdcamier, whom I knew to be at her country house at Clichy-la- Garenne. I made up my mind to go and implore her help, as one implores that of an angel from heaven when everything on earth has failed. One fine May morning, I started from the Kue Coquillier...e for Clichy. On my way, I tried to screw my courage to the sticking-point by recalling the happy times of my early youth, and in the con- juring up of those pictures, the image of Mme. Recamier, who had been the companion of my liveliest joys and of my short-lived griefs, re-appeared con- tinually. Recalling, one by one, the proofs of her genuine afi'ection, always so lavishly bestowed, I dismissed all fear that her immense fortune, her high social position, would cause her to deny the friend of her childhood, coming to her homeless, proscribed, and unhappy.
