I see the first houses of Boslin. Fly! then, fly! it is high time! Alas, Trenck's eyes were blinded, and his ears were filled with dust. "Those whom demons will destroy, they first strike with blindness." Trenck's evil genius had blinded his eyes his destruction was sure. There remained no hope of escape. The carriage had reached the end of the wood and rolled now over the chausse to Boslin.
The glance of unutterable disdain which the painted old duchesse of the Restoration cast upon the youthful belles of the Chausse d'Antin, or the handsome widows of Napoleon's army of heroes, defies description.
"Here, then, is the card of address," said I; "Eugene Dejoncourt Capitaine de Cavalerie, No. 8, Chausse D'Antin." "Dejoncourt! why, confound it, this is not so pleasant; he is about the best shot in Paris, and a very steady swordsman besides, I don't like this." "But you forget he is the friend, not the principal here."
Saint Denis had not neglected in his travels to discover many things which he thought might be with advantage introduced into his native country. He taught the people how to cultivate the vine, and make chausse roads, though the latter were never very satisfactory. But many cunning arts and manufactures also he introduced from the far east, of which there is not space now to speak.
Tout mal chaussé, tout mal vêtu, sang the Captain in a doleful voice, Pauvre marin, d'où reviens-tu? Tout doux! Tout doux! With the last word on his lips, he called on the name of his Maker, for he saw two half-naked, dripping figures peering at him through the open door.
