Opis

Excerpt from The Novels of Honoré De Balzac: The Marriage Contract; La Grenadiere; Gobseck Monsieur de Manerville senior was an honest Nor man gentleman well known to Maréchal de Rich elieu, who put him in a way to marry one of the wealthiest heiresses in Bordeaux at the time when the old duke went thither to assume control as Gov ernor of Guienne. The Norman sold his estates in Bessin and became a Gascon, fascinated by the charms of the Chateau de Lanstrac, a delightful place of abode belonging to his wife. In the last days of the reign of Louis XV., he purchased the post of major of the Gardes de la Porte, and lived till 1813, after having safely weathered the storms of the Revolution. This is how he did it. Toward the close of 1790, he went to Martinique, where his wife had property, and entrusted the management of his affairs in Gascogne to an honest notary's clerk, one Mathias, who was a convert to the new ideas. Upon his return, the Comte de Manerville found his property intact and advantageously ad ministered. This judicious conduct was the fruit produced by grafting a Gascon upon a Norman.
