D'Ablaincourt went out into the world with his niece, because he had not yet lost his relish for its pleasures ; but if an invita- tion came for any party which he thought held out no amusement for him, he would turn to her and say, ' I am afraid, my dear, you will not like this party; there will be nothing at all but play. I shall be very happy to take you ; you know I always do exactly as you wish, but I think you will find it dull. ' And Nathalie, who was all confidence in her uncle, never f...ailed to answer, ' You are quite right, uncle ; it will be much better for us not to go. ' So it was with everything else. M. D'Ablaincourt, who, without wishing to be thought so, was an excessive gourmand, said one day to his niece : ' You know, my dear, I am no goiirinand; I care very little myself how things are served up, and am always satisfied with what is laid before me ; but your cook puts too much salt in everything, which is not wholesome for a young woman ; and then, she sends up her dishes in a careless, slovenly way, which is very annoying to me on your account, as you often give dinners.
