"They say what they feel simply, and it means ever so much more. Am I a democrat?" He could not help laughing. "Chi lo sa? An Anarchist perhaps." She laughed too. "Bella tu si Bella tu si! It's too absurd! One would think " "What, Vere?" "Never mind. Don't be inquisitive, Monsieur Emile." He rowed on meekly. "There is San Francesco's light," she said, in a moment. "I wonder if it is late.
It was not until the landlady had nearly battered down her door that she stirred four hours later, and then she unfastened her blouse and drew out instead of the original two sheets, only one. She did not feel particularly alarmed; supposing it had been put with the envelope that she had left about in the morning. Her things so often got lost, and it was Emile who generally found them.
"It consists in remaining lovers when you are husband and wife." "Indeed," said Emile, laughing at my secret, "we shall not find that hard." "Perhaps you will find it harder than you think. Pray give me time to explain. "Cords too tightly stretched are soon broken. This is what happens when the marriage bond is subjected to too great a strain.
Three years later the same writer's Lettres de la Montagne were sentenced by the same tribunal to the same fate. Not all burnt books should be read, but Rousseau's Émile is one that should be. So should the Marquis de Langle's Voyage en Espagne, condemned to the flames in 1788, but translated into English, German, and Italian.

She was more interested in Emile's music than in any other part of him. His wild Russian ballads sung with his strange clipped accent and fiery emphasis, fascinated her.
In late 1999, the "Top 20" the 20 most downloaded authors included Jules Verne at 11 and Emile Zola at 16. They still have a very good ranking in the present "Top 100". As a side remark, the first "images" ever made available by Project Gutenberg were French Cave Paintings, posted in April 1995, with an XHTML version posted in November 2000.
After dinner Sophy asked if it were too far to go and see the poor invalids. It was her wish and it was a work of mercy. When we got there we found them both in bed Emile had sent for a second bedstead; there were people there to look after them Emile had seen to it. But in spite of this everything was so untidy that they suffered almost as much from discomfort as from their condition.
"Is Heaven kind at last?" and then he curiously and cautiously opened the bread that, sure enough, yielded up the secreted appliances for effecting his escape.
