When Queen Elizabeth in 1572 ordered a fleet of these "Beggars" to leave, they crossed over to their own shores and drove the Spanish garrison out of Brille. This success encouraged the Dutch and many of the southern Netherlanders to rise and expel the Spanish soldiers from their towns.
Mademoiselle LESCOT, tired of obtaining applause at the Theatre du Vaudeville, wished to do the same on a larger theatre. Here, she has not even the consolation of saying "Tel brille au second rang, qui s'eclipse au premier."

Monsieur Baptiste took off his hat, blushing at the hint Colonel Esmond ventured to give him, and said: "Tenez, elle est jolie, la petite mere.

And he started back, and pushed forward, as Beatrix was descending the stair.
