Sommervieux took refuge in thepeace and silence of his studio, hoping that the habit of living withartists might mould his wife and develop in her the dormant germs oflofty intelligence which some superior minds suppose must exist inevery being. But Augustine was too sincerely religious not to takefright at the tone of artists. At the first dinner Theodore gave, sheheard a young painter say, with the childlike lightness, which to herwas unintelligible, and which redeems a jest from the taint of...profanity, "But, madame, your Paradise cannot be more beautiful thanRaphael's Transfiguration!--Well, and I got tired of looking at that. " Thus Augustine came among this sparkling set in a spirit of distrustwhich no one could fail to see. She was a restraint on their freedom. Now an artist who feels restraint is pitiless; he stays away, orlaughs it to scorn. Madame Guillaume, among other absurdities, had anexcessive notion of the dignity she considered the prerogative of amarried woman; and Augustine, though she had often made fun of it, could not help a slight imitation of her mother's primness.
