A Novel (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from White Lies: A NovelTowards the close of the last century, the Baron de Beaurepaire lived in the chateau of that name in Brittany. His family was of prodigious antiquity. Seven successive barons had already flourished on this spot of France when a younger son of the house accompanied his neighbor the Duke of Normandy in his descent on England, and was rewarded by a grant of land, on which he dug a moat and built a chateau, and called it Beaurepaire; the worthy natives turned this into Borreper without an instant's delay. Since that day more than twenty gentlemen of the same lineage had held in turn the original chateau and lands, and handed them down to their present lord.Thus rooted in his native Brittany Henri Lionel Marie St. Quentin de Beaurepaire was as fortunate as any man can be pronounced before he dies. He had health, rank, a good income, a fair domain, a goodly house, a loving wife, and two lovely young daughters all veneration and affection. Two months every year he visited the Faubourg St. Germain and the Court. At both every gentleman and every lackey knew his name and his face; his return to Brittany after this short absence was celebrated by a rustic fete.Above all, Monsieur de Beaurepaire possessed that treasure of treasures, content. He hunted no heartburns. Ambition did not tempt him.Why should he listen to long speeches, and court the unworthy, and descend to intrigue, for so precarious and equivocal a prize as a place in the government, when he could be de Beaurepaire without trouble or loss of self-respect? Social ambition could get little hold of him. Let parvenus give balls half in doors half out, and light two thousand lamps, and waste their substance battling and manoeuvring for fashionable distinction; he had nothing to gain by such foolery, nothing to lose by modest living; he was the twenty-ninth Baron of Beaurepaire. So wise, so proud, so little vain, so strong in health and wealth and honor, one would have said nothing less than an earthquake could shake this gentleman and his house. Yet both were shaken, though rooted by centuries to the soil.But it was by no vulgar earthquake.For years France had bowed in silence beneath two galling burdens: a selfish and corrupt monarchy, and a multitudinous, privileged, lazy, and oppressive aristocracy, by whom the peasant, though in France he is the principal proprietor of the soil, was handled like a Russian serf.Now when a high-spirited nation has been long silent under oppression - tremble oppressors! The shallow misunderstand nations as they do men. They fear where no fear is, and play eribbage over a volcano.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
