On ahead the first section of the guard had turned into the Rue St. Anne. The houses became more sparse, intersected by narrow pieces of terrains vagues, or small weed-covered bits of kitchen garden.

«Mais il est indifférent pour mes vues que ces vastes ouvertures soient l'effet des courans d'eau, ou de toute autre cause. Ce que je me propose, est uniquement de montrer qu'elles sont d'autant plus profondes et plus vastes, que ces terrains sont immensément hauts

He was not even an observing spectator, but a good-natured enfant du siecle, a sinner among sinners, for whom life was one long comedy. * For instance, one stanza sung by M. de St. Maurice: "Tout les terrains, les canaux, les carrieres, Depuis le fer jusqu'au moindre metal, Les champs, les eaux, les forets, les bruyeres Tout represente un certain capital.

Chacun de nos soldats eut son cri de souffrance Devant ces arbres morts qui jonchaient les terrains: "Les pêchers!" criaient ceux de l'Île-de-France; "Et les mirabelliers!" crièrent les Lorrains.

Within half-an-hour the people of Paris was outside its own gates. Victory was complete. The Guard did not resist; the officers had surrendered; the great and mighty rabble had had its way. Exultant, it swarmed around the fortifications and along the terrains vauges which it had conquered by its will.
