Several complaints, I hear, of the Monmouth's coming away too soon from the chaine, where she was placed with the two guard-ships to secure it; and Captain Robert Clerke, my friend, is blamed for so doing there, but I hear nothing of him at London about it; but Captain Brookes's running aground with the "Sancta Maria," which was one of the three ships that were ordered to be sunk to have dammed up the River at the chaine, is mightily cried against, and with reason, he being the chief man to approve of the abilities of other men, and the other two slips did get safe thither and he run aground; but yet I do hear that though he be blameable, yet if she had been there, she nor two more to them three would have been able to have commanded the river all over.
Zola's Conquete de Plassans, seventeen hundred in six months, and there was an article about it. All the Monday-morning idiots have just been swooning away about M. Scribe's Une Chaine. France is ill, very ill, whatever they say; and my thoughts are more and more the color of ebony.
One strange propensity of his electrified the palace; but on account of his small size, and for variety's sake, and as a monster, he was indulged on it. In a word, he was let speak the truth. It is an unpopular thing. He made it an intolerable one. Bawled it. Happy the man who has two chain-cables: Merit, and Women. Oh, that I, like Gerard, had a 'chaine des dames' to pull up by.
My old and venerable warrior belonged to class number two, and really did not know the lancers, but tripped about pleasantly and let others guide him. When we came to the grande chaine he was completely intoxicated with his success. Every eye was on him. Every one was occupied with his doings, and his alone.
He dwells with the fondness of a lover on every article of her apparel, from the net of pearl, splendent with emeralds and sapphires, that confined her golden hair, even to the "goodly chaine of small orfeverye"* about her neck, whereby there hung a ruby in shape of a heart, that seemed, he says, like a spark of fire burning upon her white bosom.
'Just wait, said Mahoudeau, 'a fire's being lighted. These confounded workshops get chilly directly, with the water from the covering cloths. At that moment, Claude, on turning round, noticed Chaine on his knees near the stove, pulling the straw from the seat of an old stool to light the coals with.
Without a word, Chaine took out the screw and handed it to the sculptor, who filled his pipe. 'Well, I'll see you again soon, said Claude. 'Yes, soon at any rate, next Thursday, at Sandoz's. Outside, Claude gave an exclamation of surprise on jostling a gentleman, who stood in front of the herbalist's peering into the shop. 'What, Jory! What are you doing there?
«§ 447. On peut, des environs de Siongy, observer la structure de la dernière montagne de cette chaine; elle est très remarquable. Les couches horizontales au sommet se courbent presqu'
«Quand nous nous sommes trouvé sur ces points élevés, nous avons toujours considéré le total des montagnes prises ensemble, leurs situations respectives, les unes par rapport aux autres; afin de reconnoître, s'il y avoit quelque chose de constant dans leurs position; rien n'est plus varié. Dans la grande chaîne de montagnes qui sépare le canton de Berne du Vallais d'un côté, et les Alpes qui séparent le Vallais de la Savoie de l'autre, en considérant le course du Rhône sous differens points de vue, on n'a point vu que les angles saillans de ces très hautes montagnes fussent opposés aux angles rentrans des montagnes qui sont vis-
I was a little shamefaced to see march past, taking their share of the fine and tranquil smile distributed by Marie, some women who had formerly been my mistresses Madame Lacaille, nervous, subtle, mystical; big Victorine and her good-natured rotundity, who had welcomed me any time and anywhere; and Madeleine Chaine; and slender Antonia above all, with the Italian woman's ardent and theatrical face, ebony-framed, and wearing a hat of Parisian splendor.
