The man turned aside and ignored him utterly then said something to the men opposite, and they all began to show their teeth in a grin. Francis was not so easily foiled. He touched the man on the arm. The man looked round threateningly, as if he had been struck. "Cette place est reservee par ce Monsieur " said Francis with hauteur, though still in an explanatory tone, and pointing to Aaron.
"Oh well something must be done," said he decisively. "But didn't you put something in the seat to RESERVE it?" "Only that New Statesman but he's moved it." The man still sat with the invisible sneer-grin on his face, and that peculiar and immovable plant of his Italian posterior. "Mais cette place etait RESERVEE " said Francis, moving to the direct attack.
Now, as it happened, at Nice, when I was seeking a carriage, I entered one where were a lady and an elderly gentleman. At the first glance I recognised a "Milord Anglais," the lady was his daughter. At the same moment that I said to myself, "This carriage will never do for me," the lady addressed me, "Monsieur! ce voitoore est reservee a noos doox."
"And here is the barrier," he said, pointing to a board with "Terrain réservé" upon it Réserveé pour la chasse de Monsieur le Président, "The barrier which Love keeps and I want to take him with us as the prince and princess did in the fairy tale."

I hope some means will be found of preserving my responsibility towards Wagner and his works without leading to an intrusion of myself on the Berlin artists.
At Marseilles took place the meeting between Mary Magdalen and Laeta Acilia, so delightfully fabled by Anatole France. The Count of Monte Cristo landed here after he had discovered his treasure, and here Caderouse after the infamy at "La Reservée" watched old Dantès starving to death.
"Les lettres d'ecriture anglaise etaient gravees au burin et imprimees en taille-douce sur de beau papier mi-carton glace, d'un carre long elegant et distingue."

If I had gone to Frejus with them, I should have missed that little episode of the young married couple and that would have grieved me, and the reconciliation would not have been brought about before Marseilles. Oh, how grateful I was to fate, that the lady had said, "Monsieur! ce voitoore est reservee a noos doox."
