His felt doublet and leather jerkin made a spot on the -velvet and silk which surrounded him. Presuming that he was some groom who -had stolen in, the usher stopped him. - -“Hold, my friend, you cannot pass!” - -The man in the leather jerkin shouldered him aside. - -“What does this knave want with me?” said he, in stentorian tones, which -rendered the entire hall attentive to this strange colloquy. “Don’t you -see that I am one of them?” - -“Your name?” demanded the usher. - -“Jacques Coppenole.” - -“Your titles?” - -“Hosier at the sign of the ‘Three Little Chains,’ of Ghent.” - -The usher recoiled. One might bring one’s self to announce aldermen and -burgomasters, but a hosier was too much. The cardinal was on thorns. All -the people were staring and listening. For two days his eminence had been -exerting his utmost efforts to lick these Flemish bears into shape, and to -render them a little more presentable to the public, and this freak was -startling. But Guillaume Rym, with his polished smile, approached the -usher. - -“Announce Master Jacques Coppenole, clerk of the aldermen of the city of -Ghent,” he whispered, very low. - -“Usher,” interposed the cardinal, aloud, “announce Master Jacques -Coppenole, clerk of the aldermen of the illustrious city of Ghent.” - -This was a mistake. Guillaume Rym alone might have conjured away the -difficulty, but Coppenole had heard the cardinal. - -“No, cross of God?” he exclaimed, in his voice of thunder, “Jacques -Coppenole, hosier. Do you hear, usher? Nothing more, nothing less. Cross -of God! hosier; that’s fine enough. Monsieur the Archduke has more than -once sought his _gant_\* in my hose.” - -_* Got the first idea of a timing._ - -Laughter and applause burst forth. A jest is always understood in Paris, -and, consequently, always applauded. - -Let us add that Coppenole was of the people, and that the auditors which -surrounded him were also of the people. Thus the communication between him -and them had been prompt, electric, and, so to speak, on a level. The -haughty air of the Flemish hosier, by humiliating the courtiers, had -touched in all these plebeian souls that latent sentiment of dignity still -vague and indistinct in the fifteenth century. - -This hosier was an equal, who had just held his own before monsieur the -cardinal. A very sweet reflection to poor fellows habituated to respect -and obedience towards the underlings of the sergeants of the bailiff of -Sainte-Geneviève, the cardinal’s train-bearer. - -Coppenole proudly saluted his eminence, who returned the salute of the -all-powerful bourgeois feared by Louis XI. Then, while Guillaume Rym, a -“sage and malicious man,” as Philippe de Comines puts it, watched them -both with a smile of raillery and superiority, each sought his place, the -cardinal quite abashed and troubled, Coppenole tranquil and haughty, and -thinking, no doubt, that his title of hosier was as good as any other, -after all, and that Marie of Burgundy, mother to that Marguerite whom -Coppenole was to-day bestowing in marriage, would have been less afraid of -the cardinal than of the hosier; for it is not a cardinal who would have -stirred up a revolt among the men of Ghent against the favorites of the -daughter of Charles the Bold; it is not a cardinal who could have -fortified the populace with a word against her tears and prayers, when the -Maid of Flanders came to supplicate her people in their behalf, even at -the very foot of the scaffold; while the hosier had only to raise his -leather elbow, in order to cause to fall your two heads, most illustrious -seigneurs, Guy d’Hymbercourt and Chancellor Guillaume Hugonet. |
