An inscription placed on this house reminds us, that it was here, that A. Boieldieu, the celebrated composer, was born. House rue aux Juifs, no 9. Here Jean Jouvenet, the celebrated painter, was born on the 21st August, 1647. Rouen is the birth-place of many other distinguished men. This bridge was opened to the public, in 1829.
"I beg you to remain calm," one of these men repeated to him from time to time in a passionless way. "Oh! that is easy enough for you to say," cried Lissac. "I ask you once more, where is Monsieur Jouvenet? I wish to see Monsieur Jouvenet!" "Monsieur le Prefect cannot be seen in this way," was the reply. "Moreover, you haven't to see any one; you have only to wait." "Wait for what?"
On entering the vast interior, a huge circular space is seen to open, beneath the cupola painted by Charles de Lafosse and Jouvenet, and, in it, surrounded by caryatides and groups of moldering banners, the huge tomb of Finland granite, given by the Emperor Nicholas. Hither the remains of the great Emperor were brought back from St.
"Where are you going on leaving the Bois?" asked Vaudrey. "I? I don't know." He had made a movement. "Oh! once more I tell you, don't be afraid," she said. "I want to live. Fear nothing, I will go home, parbleu." "Home?" "Or to my uncle's." "But, really, Monsieur le Ministre," she said, "you are taking upon yourself the affairs of Monsieur Jouvenet, your Prefect of Police.
The dome, which has an effect truly noble, is adorned by paintings of the twelve Apostles by Jouvenet, surmounted by a glory from the pencil of Lafosse, with a beautiful tesselated pavement beneath; there are some other good paintings, but many very bad.
Guy shrugged his shoulders as if he considered the matter perfectly ridiculous. He vaguely recalled that he had seen Marianne one evening at Madame de Marsy's smile at the Prefect of Police, that Jouvenet who flirted so agreeably with that pretty girl in a corner of the salon. And then, too, at the theatre, in Marianne's box, the prefect found his way.
This sudden revelation lacerated him as if his back received the blows of a whip. He wished to know all. He questioned Lissac, forcing him into a corner, and making him hesitate, for he now feared that he would say too much, and limited himself to demanding Jouvenet's punishment. "As to Marianne, one would see to that after," he said. Ah! yes, certainly, Jouvenet should be punished! How?
His eyes followed the movement of his glass and one after another he saw Madame Marsy, Jouvenet, Madame Gerson, so many living and exceedingly taunting recollections, when suddenly Sulpice trembled, shaken by a keener and almost angry feeling as his glance was directed to a box against the dark-red of which two faces were boldly outlined: those of Rosas and Marianne.
All the morning she debated as to the course she should take, and finally decided to write to Guy, when Sulpice Vaudrey arrived, and beaming with delight, informed Marianne that he had the entire day to spend with her. "I learned through Jouvenet this morning that you were able to go to the theatre. Naughty one, to steal an evening from me. But I have all to-day, at least."
In spite of Jouvenet who knew all, and in spite of so many others who suspected the truth, she desired to be present at that fête at the ministry and to show herself to all. Vaudrey had warned her, however. He had written to her a few hours before, entreating her, nay, almost commanding, her, not to come, and she was there.
