‘If this is your first appearance at Mme Verdurin’s, Monsieur,’ Brichot said to me, anxious to show off his talents before a newcomer, ‘you will find that there is no place where one feels more the douceur de vivre, to quote one of the inventors of dilettantism, of pococurantism, of all sorts of “isms” that are in fashion among our little snoblings – I refer to M. le Prince de Talleyrand.’ For, when he spoke of these great noblemen of the past, he felt that it was witty and added ‘period colour’ to prefix their titles with ‘Monsieur’, and said ‘M. le Duc de La Rochefoucauld’, ‘M. le Cardinal de Retz’, referring to these from time to time also as ‘That struggle for lifer Gondi’, ‘that Boulangist Marcillac’.
