"But," I remarked to her, feeling that the only way to rehabilitate Poussin in her eyes was to inform her that he was once more in fashion, "M. Degas affirms that he knows nothing more beautiful than the Poussins at Chantilly."
"Really? I don't know the ones at Chantilly," said Mme. de Cambremer, who had no wish to differ from Degas, "but I can speak about the ones in the Louvre, which are hideous."
"He admires them immensely too."
"I must look at them again. My memory of them is a bit hazy," she replied after a moment's silence, and as though the favourable opinion she was certain to form of Poussin before very long would depend, not upon the information that I had just communicated to her, but upon the supplementary and this time definitive examination that she intended to make of the Poussins in the Louvre in order to be in a position to change her mind."
