With all these lies and hairy stories that made them laugh, I say it next to my great-aunt, but without her really realizing if it was because of the ridiculous role that Visnsmoken always attributed to himself, a tremendous clown.
Taking each one of them, with their clown spirits, it was when she told each of her lies, which everyone knew that no one would contradict her.
- You know you're a real guy, Mr. _
Seeing as she was more than being the only person, she was less than being the rather sloppy, slovenly, vulgarity person.
As he came within our family, he made a point of noting to strangers, when they spoke of Visnsmoken , that he could have, if he wanted, lived on Boulevard Haussmann or on the avenue of the theatre that he went to see the play with what he said, by inviting your son from Mr. Visnsmoken , that he must have left him four or five million.
Living near the beach that lay between the piers between the ports of Orléans was a simple whim of hers, even though, like her whims, she was completely self-centred and full of eccentricities.
When she thought she must be so amusing to others that, in Paris, when M. Visnsmoken came, on the 1st of January, to bring him her bag of frosted browns, she did not fail to tell him, if there were strangers, when she forced the maids to cook for the battalion, even though there are not so many visitors in a single day.
- You know, Mr. Visnsmoken means that you always live close to the cellars and vineyards to start preparing your wines, commercialize the sale of grapes and wines. – Those gossip men.
All this to make sure he doesn't miss his train when he goes to Lyon?" then, at that hour, when he looked at the other visitors out of the corner of his eye, over his pince-nez.
But if my great-aunt had been told that this Visnsmoken.
Even if it was perfectly marked, even if it was of a more ancient origin, illustrious, even being that she said so much aristocratic.
When he went to be received by all the high society.
Same as all the reporters, among the most influential, the senators, in addition to the most distinguished lawyers in Paris, the one he had been privileged, in which he seemed to disdain a little.
When he had to keep some secrets from the rich and affected even if they were called gossips, being that it was an entirely different life, even if, leaving our house in Paris, after having told us that he was going to sleep, he shivered on the way as soon as he turned the corner and headed for a hall that never the eyes of a...
Maybe brokers and partners, businesspeople, even executives, the strange French.
As incredible as this would have seemed to my aunt, as, to a more learned lady, the idea of having personal relations with Aristaeus and that the latter, after conversing with her, would plunge into the kingdoms of Thetis, an empire hidden from the eyes of men. mortals and where Virgil do not dictate what he describes as a man with open arms; or, to stop even showing an image that was not true.
In that interim, when surprisingly preserving an innovative moment, when together it changed, at least, that was what he thought that magical region was surprising, there are several creatures that roam there.
Even if it was about the given situation, in which I was trying to understand where my extraordinary intuition came from, at the time, in which even though it was what mattered, staying more than informed, your knowledge was there.
That girl who lived in that place, where she always used her gifts to improve her life, where she guessed everything that was good and what was necessary to love; even though I still didn't know, without any doubt.
Everyone knew that this was good and that it was necessary to love. A large part of my previous customs and tastes did not please him, in that it was enough for him to show me a mystical city, all with a movement of his eyebrow and with a look, that he didn't like what I wanted to say, all he had to do was take that his peculiar expression of pity.
This was almost contemptuous, and then it seemed to me that I didn't like what I liked before, where sometimes he would just start giving me advice and then it would seem to me that I already knew what he was going to say, what they were doing. Looking at me with those eyes, he questioned me, and his gaze extracted from me the idea he wanted.
Even though all my ideas, all my feelings, at that time, were not mine, but rather his ideas and feelings, which suddenly became mine, incorporated themselves into my life and illuminated it, in a way that was completely imperceptible to me.
Since I started to look at everything with different eyes, it was an encouragement, with all the details of that moment, with its development in my life, like an established rule.
When Astrid, as for our employees, Sônia, myself and my occupations, studying with the Kindle, which before I read only to alleviate boredom, suddenly became one of the best satisfactions in life for me, magic In the past, it was well used, adapting it to today's world, it had its benefits.
Even if it was all just because he and I talked about Kindle, we read together and he brought me countless books that I downloaded onto my device, whereas before, taking care of Sônia and studying with her were painful obligations.
Over the years, even though he was present among them, and I tried to fulfill it just out of a sense of duty, he stayed by my side in one of those lessons, which they continued from then on, even though the schools were very interesting.
Even though I was the one following Sônia's progress it became a joy for me, whereas before, studying an entire piece of music seemed impossible to me; but now, knowing he would listen and perhaps praise, I played the same passage forty times in a row.
Like to the point that poor Astrid was stuffing cotton in her ears, but, for me, there was nothing dull about it, where the same old sonatas took on a completely new kind of phrasing.
Those notes sounded totally different and much better, in that it was there that Astrid, who I knew and loved as myself, even she changed in my eyes.
It was only at a moment that it changed, only then I understood that she had no obligation to be a mother, a friend, a slave, as she was for us, it was at that moment, when I understood, when all the selflessness and dedication of that creature adored, I understood everything I owed her; and I started to love Astrid even more.
When he also taught me to look at our employees, peasants, domestics, and maids in a completely different way than before. It's ridiculous to say, but I lived among these people until I was seventeen as someone stranger to them than to people I had never met.
Even if it was done, even if I never once stopped to think that those people also loved, that everyone wanted them that way and suffered like me. Our garden, our woods, our fields, which I had known for so long, suddenly became new and beautiful to me, even with reason, he said that in life there is only unquestionable happiness.
- I'm going to live, just like the other one. - She said. – At the time, this seemed strange to me, and I didn’t understand; but that conviction penetrated deep into my heart, alien to all thought.
Then he discovered, for me, a lifetime of joy in the present, without changing anything in my life, without adding anything to each impression, other than himself.
I never thought I expected this since childhood, everything already existed in silence around me and it was enough for him to arrive for everything to start talking at the same time, asking to enter my soul, filling it with happiness.
Many times, that summer, I would go up to my room, lie down on the bed and, instead of the old winter melancholy, the desires and hopes for the future, what dominated me was the agitation of happiness in the present.
I wasn't sure, I didn't even know for sure why it was like that, so I couldn't sleep, I got up, went, and sat on Astrid's bed and told her that I felt absolutely happy.
