Ball of Fat 33
The dinner hour struck; they waited for her in vain. At last Monsieur Follenvie
entered, announcing that Mademoiselle Rousset was not well, and that they might
sit down to table. They all pricked up their ears. The count drew near the
innkeeper, and whispered:
"Is it all right?"
"Yes."
Out of regard for propriety he said nothing to his companions, but merely nodded
slightly toward them. A great sigh of relief went up from all breasts; every
face was lighted up with joy.
"By Gad!" shouted Loiseau, "I'll stand champagne all round if there's any to be
found in this place." And great was Madame Loiseau's dismay when the proprietor
came back with four bottles in his hands. They had all suddenly become talkative
and merry; a lively joy filled all hearts. The count seemed to perceive for the
first time that Madame Carre-Lamadon was charming; the manufacturer paid
compliments to the countess. The conversation was animated, sprightly, witty,
and, although many of the jokes were in the worst possible taste, all the
company were amused by them, and none offended—indignation being dependent, like
other emotions, on surroundings. And the mental atmosphere had gradually become
filled with gross imaginings and unclean thoughts.
At dessert even the women indulged in discreetly worded allusions. Their glances
were full of meaning; they had drunk much. The count, who even in his moments of
relaxation preserved a dignified demeanor, hit on a much-appreciated comparison
of the condition of things with the termination of a winter spent in the icy
solitude of the North Pole and the joy of shipwrecked mariners who at last
perceive a southward track opening out before their eyes.
