"Faustina, that isn't right. Miss Randolph is a stranger; you shouldn't play tricks on her." "Roundheads were always revolutionists," said the girl recklessly. "A la lanterne! Heads or hats it don't signify which. That is an example of what our Madame calls 'symbolism. " "Hush sh! Madame would call it something else. Now how are we going to get the cap down?"
Ma foi!" he added, squaring his broad shoulders, and pushing his way through the crowd towards the door, "I for one am going to see where hangs the most suitable lanterne." Like a flock of sheep the crowd now followed him. "The nearest lanterne!" they shouted. "In the streets in the streets! A la lanterne! The traitors!"
A motley throng they were, soaked through with the rain, drunk with their own baffled rage, and with the brandy which they had imbibed. Everyone was shouting; the women louder than the rest; one of them was dragging the length of rope, which might still be useful. "Ca ira! ca ira! A la lanterne! A la lanterne! les traitres!"
But all the fishes on my uncle's property were under the special care of that Proteus Bolt; and Bolt was not a man likely to suffer the carps to earn their bread without contributing their full share to the wants of the community. But, like master, like man! Bolt was an aristocrat fit to be hung a la lanterne.
They sang their little Ca ira: Ah! ca ira ca ira ca ira! Les Bonapartistes a la lanterne! Songs are like the guillotine; they chop away indifferently, to-day this head, to-morrow that.

the sort of standards which they carried were symbols of the most atrocious barbarity. There was one representing a gibbet, to which a dirty doll was suspended; the words "Marie Antoinette a la lanterne" were written beneath it. Another was a board, to which a bullock's heart was fastened, with "Heart of Louis XVI." written round it.
MANSORIO.-Pour to dire le vrai, tiens: Dioggne en vain Cherehait jadis un homme, une lanterne a la main, Eh bien, a Paris ce matin Il l'eut trouve dans la lanterne." "Good, good!" cried the listeners, "the emperor is indeed a wonderful " Just then the bell for the curtain was heard, and the crowd pressed into the parterre. Amid the profoundest stillness the opera began.
