But whether he comes from Corrèze, from Garonne or Isère, it is always as a Provincial that he arrives in Paris, the air of which intoxicates him. He is in the same situation and carries with him the same sentiments as Monsieur Jourdain when invited to visit the Countess Dorimène.
Shortly after this, France having been divided into departments, my father was named administrator for the Corrèze and then a member of the Legislative Assembly. My mother's three brothers, and nearly all the nobility of the county had hurriedly emigrated.
The story of "Moths" rose up before his mind and he fell to wondering how it ended and what became of the beautiful heroine with whom he had linked Teresa Countess of Rochester, of Zouroff with whom he had linked Maniloff, of Corréze with whom he had linked himself. The colour of that story had tinctured all his sea-side experiences. Then Mrs. Henshaw rose up before his mind.
He knew that such ambition with regard to himself was vain, that it was his destiny to live out his days on the edge of a moor in the Correze, and that it was his duty to thank Heaven that he was sheltered and had sufficient food, fuel, and clothing for himself and his family: all this he knew, and he accepted his lot bravely.
Formerly mayor of the town of Tulle, he came from La Correze, where he owned a large estate. He was certainly a force in motion, one whose constant rise was anxiously watched by keen observers. He spoke in a simple quiet way, but with extraordinary power of conviction.
Looking to the east, I saw the mountains of Auvergne, the Mont-Dore range rising beyond the Correze against the blue sky, as white as the sugar towers and pinnacles upon a bride-cake. Here it was warm, like June weather in England; there winter still reigned upon the snowy hills.
They had been great friends at college in their native Correze, but had not spoken together for ten years past in consequence of some abominable affair the particulars of which were not exactly known. However, it becomes necessary to clear away all corpses when one wishes to have the arena free for a fresh battle. "It's very good of you to come back the first," said Monferrand.

I was born on the 18th August 1782 at my father's Château of Larivière, in the beautiful valley of Beaulieu, on the borders of Limousin and Quercy now the department of Corrèze where my father owned a considerable property. The family of Marbot was of noble origin, although for a long time they had not preceded their name by any title.
Here I found a fair road on the western side of the river, in the department of the Correze, and being now free of mind, I loitered on the way, picking strawberries and watching the lizards. It was dark when, descending again to the level of the Dordogne, I sought a lodging in the little village of Port-Dieu.
