Among the works collected at a somewhat later period are translations of Ann Radcliffe, of Scott's early novels, and of Ducray Dumenil, whose stories, "Lolotte et Fanfan" and "Victor," once enjoyed a great reputation.

Twenty years later, Russian girls began to read romances of the class of The Adventures of Marquis Glagol, Fanfan and Lolotta, Alexey or the Cottage in the Forest; they began to play the clavichord and to sing songs in the style of the once very well-known: 'Men like butterflies in sunshine Flutter round us opening blossoms, etc.

"Poor dear Fanfan, you would not have any body quarrel about you, would you, Fanfan?"

"He is run, he is run on," replied mademoiselle. "Oh, he'll be lost! he'll run down the avenue, quite out upon the turnpike road. Fanfan! Fanfan!"

"True I had forgotten. I'll sing instead. Fishes, I have been told, are fond of music. 'Fanfan, je vous aimerais bien; Contre vous je n'ai nul caprice; Vous êtes gentil, j'en convien...." "Come, now!" I exclaimed pettishly, "this is really too bad. I had a bite a most decided bite and if you had only kept quiet".... "Nonsense, my dear fellow!
