Pascal, dem zu dessen Befriedigung wenig oder gar keine Gelegenheit verschafft wurde, war den Gefahren der Einseitigkeit und allem, was zu ihrem Gefolge gehört, von Hause aus blossgestellt; um so mehr, als auch die Pascal'sche Familie, durch den Tod der Mutter zu früh ihrer segensreich fesselnden Kraft beraubt, für jenen augenscheinlichen Mangel keinen Ersatz bieten konnte. Es wird uns freilich gesagt, dass das älteste der Pascal'schen Kinder, die damals elfjährige Gilberte, sehr bald die Stelle der Mutter vertreten habe. Aber wie bald denn, wenn es überhaupt möglich wäre? Und gar Mutterstelle bei zwei Wunderkindern wie Blaise und Jaqueline! Es gehört viel Einbildungskraft dazu, sich dergleichen vorstellig zu machen. Dazu sehen wir Stephan Pascal wiederholt von seinen Kindern getrer.nt leben; als er bei Richelieu in Ungnade gefallen war, ein Jahr lang. Was Blaise unterdessen trieb, und wer sich seiner angenommen habe, erfahren wir nicht. 1.
