Excerpt from Papa Bouchard Bouchards' acquaintance pointed with admiration to Monsieur Paul. Look l they said such a good brother' Mademoiselle boasts that although he is fifty-four years of age he is still as obedient to her as he was at fifteen. SO prosperous and re spected as an advocate, too And all these ladies sighed because they had not succeeded in petticoating a brother or a husband as Mademoiselle Bou chard had petticoated the prosperous and respected Monsieur Paul Bouchard. Pierre, the husband of Elise, Made moiselle Bouchard's maid for thirty years, was as well disciplined as his master, for he was Monsieur Paul's valet. He had never had a will of his own since the day, thirty years be fore, when Elise had sworn before the altar to love, honor and obey him.
