In the long winter evenings the family assembles in the sitting-room, and all kill time as best they can. Ivan Ivan'itch smokes and meditates or listens to the barrel-organ played by one of the children. Maria Petrovna knits a stocking. The old aunt, who commonly spends the winter with them, plays Patience, and sometimes draws from the game conclusions as to the future.

Libels on her. She is called Madame Deficit. She has a Second Daughter, who dies. Ill Health of the Dauphin. Unskillfulness and Extravagance of Calonne's System of Finance. Distress of the Kingdom. He assembles the Notables. They oppose his Plans. Letters of Marie Antoinette on the Subject. Her Ideas of the English Parliament. Dismissal of Calonne. Character of Archbishop Loménie de Brienne.
When the cocoons open and the worms appear, he assembles the women of the house and they sing the same song as at the birth of a baby, and red lead is smeared on the parting of the hair of all the married women of the neighbourhood. When the worms pair, rejoicings are made as at a marriage. Thus the silkworms are treated as far as possible like human beings.
