She drew in sharply and looked about in considerable trepidation. Off to the right lay the log that divided the lands, but nowhere along the bank of the river could she see the trespasser.
He was a patrician, and none in his order surpassed him in rank and renown.

These monstrous decrees were carried into effect at a time when France reigned supreme in the domain of intellect, poetry, and the arts in the days of Racine, Corneille, Molière of Bossuet, Bourdaloue, and Fénélon.
