His actors, spurred on -by him, had not ceased to spout his comedy, and he had not ceased to -listen to it. He had made up his mind about the tumult, and was determined -to proceed to the end, not giving up the hope of a return of attention on -the part of the public. This gleam of hope acquired fresh life, when he -saw Quasimodo, Coppenole, and the deafening escort of the pope of the -procession of fools quit the hall amid great uproar. The throng rushed -eagerly after them. “Good,” he said to himself, “there go all the -mischief-makers.” Unfortunately, all the mischief-makers constituted the -entire audience. In the twinkling of an eye, the grand hall was empty. - -To tell the truth, a few spectators still remained, some scattered, others -in groups around the pillars, women, old men, or children, who had had -enough of the uproar and tumult. Some scholars were still perched astride -of the window-sills, engaged in gazing into the Place. - -“Well,” thought Gringoire, “here are still as many as are required to hear -the end of my mystery. They are few in number, but it is a choice -audience, a lettered audience.” - -An instant later, a symphony which had been intended to produce the -greatest effect on the arrival of the Virgin, was lacking. Gringoire -perceived that his music had been carried off by the procession of the -Pope of the Fools. “Skip it,” said he, stoically. - -He approached a group of bourgeois, who seemed to him to be discussing his -piece. This is the fragment of conversation which he caught,— - -“You know, Master Cheneteau, the Hôtel de Navarre, which belonged to -Monsieur de Nemours?” - -“Yes, opposite the Chapelle de Braque.” - -“Well, the treasury has just let it to Guillaume Alixandre, historian, for -six hivres, eight sols, parisian, a year.” - -“How rents are going up!” - -“Come,” said Gringoire to himself, with a sigh, “the others are -listening.” - -“Comrades,” suddenly shouted one of the young scamps from the window, “La -Esmeralda! La Esmeralda in the Place!” - -This word produced a magical effect. Every one who was left in the hall -flew to the windows, climbing the walls in order to see, and repeating, -“La Esmeralda! La Esmeralda?” At the same time, a great sound of applause -was heard from without. - -“What’s the meaning of this, of the Esmeralda?” said Gringoire, wringing -his hands in despair. “Ah, good heavens! it seems to be the turn of the -windows now.” - -He returned towards the marble table, and saw that the representation had -been interrupted. It was precisely at the instant when Jupiter should have -appeared with his thunder. But Jupiter was standing motionless at the foot -of the stage. - -“Michel Giborne!” cried the irritated poet, “what are you doing there? Is -that your part? Come up!” - -“Alas!” said Jupiter, “a scholar has just seized the ladder.” - -Gringoire looked. It was but too true. All communication between his plot -and its solution was intercepted. - -“The rascal,” he murmured. “And why did he take that ladder?” - -“In order to go and see the Esmeralda,” replied Jupiter piteously. “He -said, ‘Come, here’s a ladder that’s of no use!’ and he took it.” - -This was the last blow. Gringoire received it with resignation. - -“May the devil fly away with you!” he said to the comedian, “and if I get -my pay, you shall receive yours.” - -Then he beat a retreat, with drooping head, but the last in the field, -like a general who has fought well. - -And as he descended the winding stairs of the courts: “A fine rabble of -asses and dolts these Parisians!” he muttered between his teeth; “they -come to hear a mystery and don’t listen to it at all! They are engrossed -by every one, by Chopin Trouillefou, by the cardinal, by Coppenole, by -Quasimodo, by the devil! but by Madame the Virgin Mary, not at all. If I -had known, I’d have given you Virgin Mary; you ninnies! And I! to come to -see faces and behold only backs! to be a poet, and to reap the success of -an apothecary! It is true that Homerus begged through the Greek towns, and -that Naso died in exile among the Muscovites. But may the devil flay me if -I understand what they mean with their Esmeralda! What is that word, in -the first place?—‘tis Egyptian!” -- cgit v1.2.3
