Beauval was reached at noon, a quiet little country town, with long shady streets; and the billets were very good. The fortnight here was spent in route marches, grouping practices at the range, and platoon and company training in general. The keen pleasure with which the men turned to drill and small company schemes after the months of trench monotony was very noticeable.
There was Lulli in music; Beauchamp in ballets; Corneille and Racine in tragedy; Moliere in comedy; La Chamelle and La Beauval, actresses; and Baron, Lafleur, Toriliere, and Guerin, actors. Each of these persons was excellent in his way.
The Brigade made a long two days' journey from Bouzincourt, a crowded little village west of Albert, through Beauval, where the inhabitants welcomed us for one night in our old billets, to Cramont.
The remainder of the month was divided between Beauval and Candas, a new village, whose inhabitants, with a curious naiveness, imagined that the blue hearts, which the Battalion wore as distinguishing badges, were the hallmark of a dangerous brand of storm-troops, and signified their desire to have the hearts of their enemies.
I must try and be jealous, said Monsieur de Beauval. 'But see! here comes the delicious Duchess of Bellefiore," &c. &c. &c.
The first stage on the rearward journey carried us to Puchevillers, a village full of shell dumps and now bisected by a new R.O.D. line from Candas to Colincamps. Snow, which had fallen heavily before we left Puchevillers, made the ensuing march through Beauval and Gézaincourt to Longuevillette a trying one.
Among them were Rotolf de la Denèse, Basnage de Beauval, and Jean Rou, secretary to the States-General. One of the objects of the little academy was to translate the Psalms anew into French verse; but before the version was completed, Rapin was under the necessity of leaving the Hague. William III., his patron, died in 1701, when his pension was stopped.

He wrote for Thomas Corneille part of "Psyché" and of "Bellerophon" ; for Donneau le Visé the comedy of "La Comète" ; for Beauval the "Éloge" on Perrault ; for Catherine Bernard part of her tragedy of "Brutus" , a discourse for the prize of eloquence given by the French Academy, and signed by Brunel ; and part of "L'Analyse des infiniments petits" for the Marquis de l'Hôpital . This is merely part of the work turned out of Fontenelle's factory before the death of La Bruyère.
