Vandenesse returned to Paris late in the following winter; all her
husband's predictions about Nathan were justified。 He had taken
Blondet's advice and negotiated with the government; which employed
his pen。 His personal affairs were in such disorder that one day; on
the Champs…Elysees; Marie saw her former adorer on foot; in shabby
clothes; giving his arm to Florine。 When a man becomes indifferent to
the heart of a woman who has once loved him; he often seems to her
very ugly; even horrible; especially when he resembles Nathan。 Madame
de Vandenesse had a sense of personal humiliation in the thought that
she had once cared for him。 If she had not already been cured of all
extra…conjugal passion; the contrast then presented by the count to
this man; grown less and less worthy of public favor; would have
sufficed her。
To…day the ambitious Nathan; rich in ink and poor in will; has ended
by capitulating entirely; and has settled down into a sinecure; like
any other commonplace man。 After lending his pen to all disorganizing
efforts; he now lives in peace under the protecting shade of a
ministerial organ。 The cross of the Legion of honor; formerly the
fruitful text of his satire; adorns his button…hole。 〃Peace at any
price;〃 ridicule of which was the stock…in…trade of his revolutionary
editorship; is now the topic of his laudatory articles。 Heredity;
attacked by him in Saint…Simonian phrases; he now defends with solid
arguments。 This illogical conduct has its origin and its explanation
in the change of front performed by many men besides Raoul during our
recent political evolutions。
