He made the acquaintance of certain French writers, namely: Thedore-Henri Barrau, Francois Petis de la Croix, Frederic Baudry, Emile Delerot, Charles-Auguste-Desire Filon, Samuel Descombaz, and Prosper Baur.
That make me scare lest he should look by the ford of Crèvecoeur. So after that, five or six days, when Narcisse Duplin is come up with me, I tell him Filon is gone to Sacramento where his money is; therefore I keep care of his sheep. That is a better tale eh, M'siu, for I have to say something. Every shepherd in that range is know those sheep of Filon.
"Tres bien, tres bien," assented the table. Some knives were thumped to emphasize the assent. "As for stealing" the rich voice continued, with calm judicial slowness "I can understand a man's cheating the state once, perhaps yielding to an impulse of cupidity. But to do as ce Monsieur Filon has done he must be a consummate master of his art for his processes are organized robbery."
I have call mine Noé. So they two walk on that log very still; for they see what they have to do. Then they push with the head, Diable and Noé, till that log it rock in the water; Filon is cry to his goat and I to mine.
It is always so after that, all those years until I kill Filon. If I make a little game of poker with other shepherds then he walks along and say: "Ah, you, Raoul, you is one sharp fellow. I not like for play with you." Then is my play all gone bad. But if Filon play, then he say, "Come, you little man, and bring me the good luck." It is so, M'siu!
IT was a happy thought of M. Filon to put into the mouth of an imaginary centenarian a series of delightfully picturesque studies which aim at the minute presentment of life in France under the old régime, and end for the most part with the Revolution.
The queen herself often walked down from the Louvre close by to see how he was getting on, and to give her opinion as to the grouping of some statues or the arrangement of a grotto; and here too came his friends when in Paris, Montmorency, Condé, Jarnac and others, and Delorme, Bullant, Filon, and all the great architects of the day.
When Gabriel tell me that about Filon, I think he deserve all that. What you think, M'siu? That same night the water of Tinpah rise in his banks afar off by the hills where there is rain. It comes roaring down the wash where I make my camp, for you understand at that time of year there should be no water in the wash of Tinpah, but it come in the night and carry away one-half of my sheep.
He chose as his private apartments at the Tuileries a set of small rooms on the ground floor, as these could be more easily heated up to the temperature he liked. According to M. Filon, Napoleon III. shortened his life by persisting in remaining so much in what he describes as "those over-gilt, over-heated, air-tight little boxes."
"Ce filon n'est pas le seul dans le Hartz qui donne des signes marins. Il y en a un autre, qui même se rapproche davantage de la nature du commun des filons, et où l'on trouve aussi des coquillages. C'est celui de Haus-Hartzbergerzug, pres de Clausthal, où, dans les Halles de quelques mines de plomb abandonnées, et dans une forte d'ardoise, on trouve de petites moules ou tellines striées, d'une espèce particulière que j'ai vue dans des ardoises secondaires d'Arotzen en Waldek et de Sombernon en Bourgogne. Il y a donc certainement quelques filons faits par les dépôts de la mer dans les fentes de montagnes primordiales; comme au contraire il y a des filons métalliques sans indices marins, dans des montagnes évidemment secondaires, telles que celles de Derbyshire, ou les filons de plomb traversent des couches de pierre
