Balzac's- Last Love-A New Chapter

ct. Petersburg the year before. He
had been exceedingly well received
by the court and by the society of
the capital and had then returned to
France, where he had published a
book which was very unfiattering TO
Russia.
Enough OF litterateurs of that
kind!" said Nicholas I. II do not
want to see any more of them," and
SO all doors were closed to Balzac.
After leaving st. Petersburg the
Hanskas, still accompanied by Bal
zac, went to the country. where my
grandaunt soon buried her husband
and married the idol of her life.
This union. however, did not last
very long. The newly married couple
went to Paris, where my grandaunt
bought mansion. A year after this
Balzac died in this house. The street
in which the house stands bears his
name. as every visitor to Paris
knows.
1t was in that house, a temple

frequently. She lived there with her
only daughter and her law.

By the COUNTESS KLEINMIcHEL.

KY grandmother had sister,

ska, nee Comtesse Rievuska.
who had been married while she
was still very young to. Count Han
sky. who was very much older than
she and one of the richest land
owners in the goauernement of Kieff.
He was the lord and owner of the
famous palace of Verchhovnia, which
was said to be of an incredible splen-
dor. The Count was extremely
jealous of his young wife, and so he
had locked her up in this golden
cage. Here she enjoyed every luxury
which money could supply. But she
was not permitted to see any one
but her interiors. female companions,
chaplains. librarians, &C.. and SO she
was eaten UP with ennui.
At that time-or about the time of
which I am speaking-Balzac was
the fashionable author. My aunt,
whose mind had been formed largely
by reading-for this was her only
distraction-devoured his works
with an immense enthusiasm. She
then conceived the idea OF entering
upon a correspondence with him.
Her old husband made no objection
to this literary diversion, for he re-
garoed this coquetry of the spirit
I mean to say this purely cerebral
love for an unknown whom his wife
would surely never set eyes upon
as kind of surety. a kind of safety
valve against a less ideal passion
which more real human being
might have been able to rouse in her
breast. He made only one condition:
that the letters OF his wife should
not be signed with her name and
that Balzac should not know with
whom he had to do.
Once a week a servant carried a
letter addressed to Balzac 10 the post
and brought back his reply. addressed
post restds.te to Berditcheff and to a
fictitious name. This correspondence
went on for many. years-I cannot
say precisely how many. But l

fell grievously i'll; he had several
strokes of apoplexy. which deprived
him of the use of his limbs. Trips
were made to st. Petersburg in order
to consult the medical authorities.
They declared that the old man
should go to an Austrian bad and
take the waters. So the Countess
Hanska took her poor paralytic of a
husband to Vienna, taking with her
also her little daughter of eight
years. :
One day she was seated on a bench
in the famous park of Schoenbrunn,
her husband in his invalid's wheel
chair at her side. He had now COM
pletely lost the faculty Of movement
and even of speech, but his brilliant
and piercing eye gave clear proof
that thought was still alive and ac-
tive in his brain. Suddenly the
Countess heard cry; it was the
voice OF her child. She rushed
toward the spot from which this
had come and saw that little Anna
had fallen into the basin OF the foun-
tain while chasing her hoop. A
pedestrian jumped into the water
and hshed out the child. trembling
with cold and with fear. He brought
her back to her mother and placed
her in her arms-it was Balzac!
It was here that the romance be-
gan-the romance which from this
moment on ceased to be merely a ro-
nance OF the brain. 1t took place
under eyes of the paralytic, to whom
there remained nothing but the
flashes of his brilliant eye with
which to protest.
Balzac attached himself to the
household and did not leave ii. He
accompanied the Count and the
Countess to St Petersburg. where
they made a halt prior to returning
to the Ukraine. Balzac tried TO OBJ
tain an audience from the Emperor
Nicholas. Who, however, refused TO
receive him, and society, which was
accustomed to gush over his works,
refused to open its doors to him.
1t was on this, occasion that Balzac
uttered those well known words: 81

which have not forgotten. 1 well
remember seeing my grandaunt-it

of her father. the celebrated Vaslav

tories OF the treaty of Targovitza

in the memoirs of the times, and I
saw at her side an old faded daguer-

his manly beauty. II was the first

Balzac-after Schoenbrunn. And I
saw these words. written in Balzac's.
