These toys suddenly became ubiquitous: ?Pantins hung conveniently in drawing-rooms and sitting-rooms to amuse visitors and to while away tedious hours. People also carried Pantins in their pockets and bags and enjoyed them in public. New Pantins were constantly being brought out and every shop tried to have the latest novelty. [Edmond Jean Fran?ois] Barbier gives a very good account of the craze in his Journal [historique et anecdotique du r?gne de Louis XV]: `At first the Pantins were designed for children?s toys; but after a time they were used to amuse the entire public. They were little figures made of pasteboard. All the parts of the body were separate and were attached by strings at the back of the figure. When these strings were pulled . the Pantin could be made to dance. These little figures represented Harlequin, Scaramouche, Mitron, Shepherds, Shepherdesses, etc., and were consequently painted in all kinds of ways. You could not go into any house in January 1747, without finding a Pantin hanging by the mantelpiece? Of course, the moralists and satirists had much to say about this silly amusement of the upper classes? (E. Singleton, Dolls [New York, 1927], pp. 39-41). L?Affichard (1698-1753), a playwright, novelist, and souffleur (prompter) at the Th??tre italien, some of whose plays were performed by marionettes, muses in his preface on the eternal return.??Fashion being a circular phenomenon ? vertugadins, for example, having vanished only to be replaced by paniers (two terms for farthingales) ? he declares that pantins, those little marionettes moved by strings, are simply a new incarnation of the Romans? Penates. (To prove this he argues that one traditional [erroneous] etymology of the word, penes nos nati [?those born among us?] is an anagram of Pantins and pantines .). The only difference, says L?Affichard, is that the ancients superstitiously attributed powers to those household gods, while we, enlightened, simply derive amusement from our Pantins. He predicts that ?the reign of the Pantins will pass, just as did that of the Bilboquet [the cup-and-ball game], which was in all hands throughout France in 1712? (pp. 7-8). This kind of silliness continues in the plot: the all-powerful fairy Bichette falls improbably in love with the infant Pantin, son of Druidos, chief priest of the goddess Isis; disguising herself as a governess, Bichette ingratiates herself with Pantin?s parents and eventually spirits him off to her magic castle, where she keeps her daughter Lisbette. She strictly instructs the two to love each other only as brother and sister (thus announcing the suite to the reader). The irruption of the brutish giant Attilas, Bichette?s ex-lover and Lisbette?s father, brings the first whiffs of danger; as gluttonous Attilas lurches for a yummy meal of young flesh, in the form of his own daughter, Bichette turns the children into marionettes ? temporarily at first . And so on. Love turns the tables and after various adventures, including isles of pleasure, sex scenes hardly meant for children?s eyes, and deer speaking with German accents, intergenerational passions are straightened out. The unsigned frontispiece shows the giant Attilas confronting Bichette (or her maid Nabotte), who holds aloft the two children as.
