"Mons. , whom I have hitherto known by reputation, as an upright, and even humane man, had a brother shut up, with a number of other priests, at the Carmes; and, by his situation and connections, he has such influence as might, if exerted, have preserved the latter.
Restoratives were applied, and in ten minutes the Baron opened one eye, and raised himself on his elbow. "I am better now," said he, with a faint smile. "It is weakness and dizziness. I know what I ought to take two spoonfuls of eau des carmes in a glass of sugar and water, with perfect repose of both mind and body. Fortunately, my carriage is here. Pray, be prudent, Mussidan."
Do you remember, sir, that duel with the Englishman in the inclosure des Carmes?
Whereupon he was seized and dragged through the streets, fifteen insurgents hacking at him with their swords. At last he managed to escape from their hands, but died two days later of his wounds. Another old man named Astruc, who was bowed beneath the weight of seventy-two years and whose white hair covered his shoulders, was met as he was on his way to the gate of Carmes.
As for violence, that means is one of the most disputed questions of public policy; in our time it has been answered on the Place Louis XV., where they have now set up an Egyptian stone, as if to obliterate regicide and offer a symbol of the system of materialistic policy which governs us; it was answered at the Carmes and at the Abbaye; answered on the steps of Saint-Roch; answered once more by the people against the king before the Louvre in 1830, as it has since been answered by Lafayette's best of all possible republics against the republican insurrection at Saint-Merri and the rue Transnonnain.
This is the convent which has long been famed for the Eau de Mélisse and Blanc des Carmes, which are still sold here. At the southern gate of the Garden of the Luxembourg is the Jardin botanique de l'École de Médecine, where every medicinal plant agreeing with the climate is raised, and ticketed as classified by Jussieu.
The unfortunate brother knowing this, found means, while hourly expecting his fate, to convey a note to Mr. , begging he would immediately release, and procure him an asylum. The messenger returned with an answer, that Mons. had no relations in the enemies of his country! "A few hours after, the massacres at the Carmes took place.
On September 15, 1843, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, King Leopold I., and the Queen of the Belgians, went to the Rue des Carmes and signed their names as members of this society, which now possesses two silver cups, presented by the Queen of England in 1845 and 1893.
'M. le Maire will soon see other teachers more wonderful than the Carmes déchaussés, said Lecamus. He went and took down the lantern from its nail, and opened the little door. When it opened, I was once more penetrated by the same icy breath; once, twice, thrice, I cannot tell how many times this crossed me, as if some one passed. I looked round upon the others I gave way a step.
Coursegol put the assignats in his pocket, and secreted the gold in a leather belt he wore; then without another word, he started in quest of Philip and Dolores. How could he reach them? He must first discover where they were. Prisons were very numerous in those days. There were the Luxembourg, the Abbaye, the Force, the Carmes, the Madelonnettes, Saint-Lazare and many others.
