4. George Washington Cable was one of the foremost Southern
U.S. writers of
the 19th-century. His stories, collected in «Old Creole Days»
and his novel
«The Grandissimes», depict his native New Orleans with
subtlety and
penetration (mixed with some sentimentality). He was reviled
in his home town
for supporting integration and exposing some of the
hypocrisies of Louisiana
culture, but his work was essential for the writers who
succeeded him, from
Kate Chopin to William Faulkner. ( This paragraph only: This

This electronic edition of `Old Creole Days' is based on the
two-volume edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons in
1883, and
printed by Franklin Press: Rand, Avery, and Company, Boston.
Two copyright statements appear in the books -- they claim
copyright
for Charles Scribner's Sons from 1879 and 1883. (copyright

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Count's grant had once been a long Pointe,
round which the Mississippi used to whirl, and seethe,
and foam, that it was horrid to behold. Big whirlpools
would open and wheel about in the savage eddies
under the low bank, and close up again, and others
open, and spin, and disappear. Great circles of muddy
surface would boil up from hundreds of feet below,
and gloss over, and seem to float away,---sink, come
back again under water, and with only a soft hiss
surge up again, and again drift off, and vanish.
Every few minutes the loamy bank would tip down a
great load of earth upon its besieger, and fall back a
foot,---sometimes a yard,---and the writhing river
would press after, until at last the Pointe was quite
swallowed up, and the great river glided by in a majestic
curve, and asked no more; the bank stood fast,
the ``caving'' became a forgotten misfortune, and the
diminished grant was a long, sweeping, willowy bend,
rustling with miles of sugar-cane.
Coming up the Mississippi in the sailing craft of
those early days, about the time one first could descry
the white spires of the old St. Louis Cathedral, you
would be pretty sure to spy, just over to your right
under the levee, Belles Demoiselles Mansion, with its
broad veranda and red painted cypress roof, peering
over the embankment, like a bird in the nest, half hid
by the avenue of willows which one of the departed
De Charleus,---he that married a Marot,---had
planted on the levee's crown.
The master was old Colonel De Charleu,---Jean Albert
Henri Joseph De Charleu-Marot, and ``Colonel''
by the grace of the first American governor. Monsieur
---he would not speak to any one who called
him ``Colonel,''---was a hoary-headed patriarch.
His step was firm, his form erect, his intellect strong
and clear, his countenance classic, serene, dignified,
commanding, his manners courtly, his voice musical,
---fascinating. He had had his vices,---all his life;
but had borne them, as his race do, with a serenity of
conscience and a cleanness of mouth that left no outward
blemish on the surface of the gentleman. He
had gambled in Royal Street, drank hard in Orleans
Street, run his adversary through in the duelling-ground
at Slaughter-house Point, and danced and
quarrelled at the St. Philippe-street-theatre quadroon
balls.
