It's a sore revelation to make to an amorous maiden; but destiny will be triumphant: Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis." The poor girl suddenly laid down the work on which she had been engaged, her face became the color of ashes, and the reply she was about to make died upon her lips.

But that pompous magnate could have succeeded only by using the watchwords and practicing the acts to which none but a demagogue could have stooped.
