<div class="nested-copy-line-height lh-copy serif f4 nested-links mid-gray pr4-l w-two-thirds-l"><p>Nevertheless, as be harangued them, the satisfaction and admiration
|
||
unanimously excited by his costume were dissipated by his words; and when
|
||
he reached that untoward conclusion: “As soon as his illustrious eminence,
|
||
the cardinal, arrives, we will begin,” his voice was drowned in a thunder
|
||
of hooting.</p>
|
||
<p>“Begin instantly! The mystery! the mystery immediately!” shrieked the
|
||
people. And above all the voices, that of Johannes de Molendino was
|
||
audible, piercing the uproar like the fife’s derisive serenade: “Commence
|
||
instantly!” yelped the scholar.</p>
|
||
<p>“Down with Jupiter and the Cardinal de Bourbon!” vociferated Robin
|
||
Poussepain and the other clerks perched in the window.</p>
|
||
<p>“The morality this very instant!” repeated the crowd; “this very instant!
|
||
the sack and the rope for the comedians, and the cardinal!”</p>
|
||
<p>Poor Jupiter, haggard, frightened, pale beneath his rouge, dropped his
|
||
thunderbolt, took his cap in his hand; then he bowed and trembled and
|
||
stammered: “His eminence—the ambassadors—Madame Marguerite of
|
||
Flanders—.” He did not know what to say. In truth, he was afraid of
|
||
being hung.</p>
|
||
<p>Hung by the populace for waiting, hung by the cardinal for not having
|
||
waited, he saw between the two dilemmas only an abyss; that is to say, a
|
||
gallows.</p>
|
||
<p>Luckily, some one came to rescue him from his embarrassment, and assume
|
||
the responsibility.</p>
|
||
<p>An individual who was standing beyond the railing, in the free space
|
||
around the marble table, and whom no one had yet caught sight of, since
|
||
his long, thin body was completely sheltered from every visual ray by the
|
||
diameter of the pillar against which he was leaning; this individual, we
|
||
say, tall, gaunt, pallid, blond, still young, although already wrinkled
|
||
about the brow and cheeks, with brilliant eyes and a smiling mouth, clad
|
||
in garments of black serge, worn and shining with age, approached the
|
||
marble table, and made a sign to the poor sufferer. But the other was so
|
||
confused that he did not see him. The new comer advanced another step.</p>
|
||
<p>“Jupiter,” said he, “my dear Jupiter!”</p>
|
||
<p>The other did not hear.</p>
|
||
<p>At last, the tall blond, driven out of patience, shrieked almost in his
|
||
face,—</p>
|
||
<p>“Michel Giborne!”</p>
|
||
<p>“Who calls me?” said Jupiter, as though awakened with a start.</p>
|
||
<p>“I,” replied the person clad in black.</p>
|
||
<p>“Ah!” said Jupiter.</p>
|
||
<p>“Begin at once,” went on the other. “Satisfy the populace; I undertake to
|
||
appease the bailiff, who will appease monsieur the cardinal.”</p>
|
||
<p>Jupiter breathed once more.</p>
|
||
<p>“Messeigneurs the bourgeois,” he cried, at the top of his lungs to the
|
||
crowd, which continued to hoot him, “we are going to begin at once.”</p>
|
||
<p>“<em>Evoe Jupiter! Plaudite cives</em>! All hail, Jupiter! Applaud,
|
||
citizens!” shouted the scholars.</p>
|
||
<p>“Noel! Noel! good, good,” shouted the people.</p>
|
||
<p>The hand clapping was deafening, and Jupiter had already withdrawn under
|
||
his tapestry, while the hall still trembled with acclamations.</p>
|
||
<p>In the meanwhile, the personage who had so magically turned the tempest
|
||
into dead calm, as our old and dear Corneille puts it, had modestly
|
||
retreated to the half-shadow of his pillar, and would, no doubt, have
|
||
remained invisible there, motionless, and mute as before, had he not been
|
||
plucked by the sleeve by two young women, who, standing in the front row
|
||
of the spectators, had noticed his colloquy with Michel Giborne-Jupiter.</p>
|
||
<p>“Master,” said one of them, making him a sign to approach. “Hold your
|
||
tongue, my dear Liénarde,” said her neighbor, pretty, fresh, and very
|
||
brave, in consequence of being dressed up in her best attire. “He is not a
|
||
clerk, he is a layman; you must not say master to him, but messire.”</p>
