They would be supplying a novelty to which
all Nantes should flock provided that the work were really well done,
and Scaramouche undertook - pledged himself - that if matters were
left in his own hands, his projected revival of the Commedia dell'
Arte in all its glories would exceed whatever expectations the
public of Nantes might bring to the theatre.
"We'll talk of Paris after Nantes," he finished, supremely
matter-of-fact, "just as we will definitely decide on Nantes
after Redon."
The persuasiveness that could sway a mob ended by sweeping M. Binet
off his feet. The prospect which Scaramouche unfolded, if
terrifying, was also intoxicating, and as Scaramouche delivered a
crushing answer to each weakening objection in a measure as it was
advanced, Binet ended by promising to think the matter over.
"Redon will point the way," said Andre-Louis, "and I don't doubt
which way Redon will point."
Thus the great adventure of Redon dwindled to insignificance.
Instead of a terrifying undertaking in itself, it became merely a
rehearsal for something greater.
