Totally without pain to-day, but uncomfortable from the effects of calomel, which, with me at least, is like the assistance of an auxiliary army, just one degree more tolerable than the enemy it chases away. Calomel contemplations are not worth recording. I wrote an introduction and a few notes to the Memoirs of Madame La Rochejacquelin, being all that I was equal to.
In a small bedroom, well furnished, with a fire just lighted, we found Madame de la Rochejacquelin lying on a sofa her two daughters at work one spinning with a distaff, and the other embroidering muslin. Madame is a large fat woman, with a broad round fair face, with a most open benevolent expression, as benevolent as Molly Bristow's or as Mrs. Brinkley's.
At one end of the salon is a picture of M. de Lescure, and at the other, of Henri de la Rochejacquelin, by Gerard and Girardet, presents from the King. Fine military figures. In the boudoir is one of M. de la Rochejacquelin, much the finest of all she has never yet looked at this picture. Far from being disappointed, I was much gratified by this visit. To MISS LUCY EDGEWORTH.
The voice of the speaker was drowned in shouts of dissent and of "Vive la Réforme!" "I dissent from the opinion of M. Odillon Barrot!" cried the Marquis de la Rochejacquelin. "If he is right, the people are nothing!" "Order order!" cried the President, putting on his hat, but he was at once induced to remove it.
