Another Extract from M. Raoul de
Siard's Correspondence.
Chapel Hill, N. C.
Miss Louise Elmer.
I-be-blowed-Rock, N. C.
Mademoiselle: I have your let
ter on my hands. You demand me
to say to you something of more
conserenading my friend Monsieur
Smith, mon ami Jean. You say in
addition, that he is one Monsieur
which you have much interest. He
in his return, says to me: - Raoul, it1
says, it has no better demoiselle in
the all world, que Mademoiselle
Louise. As you may it see, from
this discourse, and also of other,
you will easily remark that Mon
sieur Smith gives back to you your
estimate" of him.
For this whatfor, I take so much
pleasure up, of to tell you all the
things consternating him. The
week last, he has been an other
time very curious. Figure to your
self that he not only looks at its
watch all the time, but that he
now writes always. He sets him
self down on his bureau3, and there
he rests. I promenade in his room,
and I make him one address: Mon
ami Jean, I say, why in the limbo
you always desire to write? He
smile mysteriously, and he compli
cates the material by his answer:
have found one great treasure. The
most grand treasure on the sun.
(I must impiece5 you the informa
tion, ray friend Jean it is a great
chimiste). So I say on return:
Jean, have you found the manner of
fabricating gold? He say: no, I
have not the manner of fabricating
the gold. ' I say to him in the re
sponse: Well then it is the maniere
of producing of the silver. No, he
goes on it, not the silver either.
What is the treasure? I say. The
finest treasure inside of the whole
world, and I be madamed if I can
tell you. Well I exclamation, that
whips the orchestra!6
I say not one other parol, but
from that time on Jean, it sits on
his bureau all the time for to write.
He say that she is writing notes on
that treasure. 1 am one demented
to know what the notes ressemble,
but he say he be a lady before he
tell.
You think Miss Louise, he still is
inside his mind? It makes me pain
to think he does so funny.
Accept if so' it pleases you,
Mademoiselle, the distinguished
consideration of my sentiments the
most extinguished.
Raoul de Siard.
Notes of the editor. Mr. de
Siard is a French and Italian
scholar of unheard of learning. He
has been in this country but four
weeks, and in that limited time has
acquired a considerable vocabulary.
He speaks the English language
very fluently. He slightly accent
uates the "th," .giving thereby to
the words that exquisite gutturb-nasal-labial
effect, which artists ad
mire so much in the bolo tor
Tenor" of the Moonlight Sonata,
of Beethoven.
We think it our duty however to
elucidate for the benefit of readers,
some of the rather unnsual ex
pression of these dainty letters.
1. "It": improper use of the
neutral, referring to Smith, should
be masculine. The writer of
the letter has great trouble it seems
with these pronouns.
2. "Estimate": might probably
mean esteem. ' In the sentence it
may mean: "he returns you your
friendship and your esteem." The
shrewd observer might reason
therefrom, that the writer and Miss
Elmer are very dear to each other.
3. "On his bureau": is obvious
ly a mistake. Consult the impor
tant work of Dr. Von Thraneu-
dumpfer: On the Proper Use of
the Preposition On. Vol. XXI, page
891. .
4. "Why in the Limbo"!. is verv
obscure expression. Diligent
search does not reveal the origin of
this sentence in the writer's letter.
5. "Impiece": Impart. Piece
equals Part.
6. '"Whips the orchestra": very
probably a mis-rendering of the
well known Shakesperian quota
tion, in Hamlet. "It rains to beat
the band. " Act. IV. Sc. 36.
