The secret of working them thus is now lost. Then came bellows organs, first used by Louis le Debonnaire. After the siege of Antwerp, the children played marbles in the streets with grape and cannon shot.
His successor Louis le Debonnaire, owing to his easy-going weakness, fell a prey to Charlemagne's other sons, and at his death, Charles the Bald became King of France and the country west of the Rhine. The other portions of the empire falling to Lothaire and the younger Louis.
'A boy that would be a boy all his life, like Sir Thomas More's son! said Louis, coolly and simply, but with a twinkle in the corner of his eye, as if he said it on purpose to be provoking; and Mrs. Frost interposed by asking where the cousins had met, and whether they had known each other. 'I knew him by what you said yesterday, said Mary. 'Louis le Debonnaire? asked Mrs. Frost, smiling.
The Princess Metternich was represented as the coachman in the charade, hat on one side, pipe in her mouth, and looking very debonnaire.
