[Modeste Mignon.] Shortly after 1830, now a great man, he was present at Mlle. des Touches’, when Henri de Marsay told of his first love affair.  Canalis took part in the conversation and uttered a most vigorous tirade against Napoleon. [The Magic Skin.  Another Study of Woman.] In 1838 he married the daughter of Moreau (de l’Oise), who brought him a very large dowry. [A Start in Life.] In October, 1840, he and Mme. de Rochefide were present at a performance at the Varietes theatre, where that dangerous woman was encountered again after a lapse of three years by Calyste du Guenic.

Vaillant’s sister.  He said he was a Venetian, Prince de Varese, a descendant of the condottiere Facino Cane, whose conquests fell into the hands of the Duke of Milan.  He told strange stories regarding his patrician youth.  He died in 1820, more than an octogenarian.  He was the last of the Canes on the senior branch, and he transmitted the title of Prince de Varese to a relative, Emilio Memmi.
