Toward the end of the sixteenth century, the great seigneurs divided among themselves these vast spaces, once occupied by the gardens of the kings of France, as indicated by the present names of the streets, Cerisaie, Beautreillis, des Lions, etc.
'Holy Virgin! said I. 'The doctor! 'The charming housekeeper. She smiled, but said, 'You are mistaken, monsieur, I do not know you. 'But I know you, I replied, 'and for the last three days I have lived but for you, and I adore you so much, that I no longer live in the Rue Beautreillis, but at the corner of this street, and I changed my lodging only to see you pass in and out."

In such cases, there is no love which holds fast; the sewer extinguishes it.
Her lips parted slightly, her eyes chilled an indescribable thing, but a plain lesson for a man who knew her sex, and Count Victor, in that haughty instinct of her flesh and eye, saw that here was not the place for the approach and opening of flippant parlours in the Rue Beautreillis. "I fear I have not intruded for the first time," he went on, in a different tone.
