"It is a feather in your cap, Mademoiselle," said Madame Cremiere, putting in her word with a humble bow,—"a miracle which will not cost you much."
"It is God's doing, madame," replied Ursula.
"God!" exclaimed Minoret-Levrault; "my father-in-law used to say he served to blanket many horses."
"Your father-in-law had the mind of a jockey," said the doctor severely.
"Come," said Minoret to his wife and son, "why don't you bow to my uncle?"
"I shouldn't be mistress of myself before that little hypocrite," cried Zelie, carrying off her son.
"I advise you, uncle,. . . Read More

Ursule Mirouët was written by the French writer Honoré De Balzac and published in 1841. It follows a man named Dr. Minoret and his young ward Ursule.

In several of my Balzac reviews, I have noted the presence of a cabal that strives out of greed and envy to bankrupt the hero or heroine and enrich themselves at their expense. In most of the novels, the hero or heroine is totally undone. This, for example, is the case in Cousin Pons, the three nove
