Madame la Princesse de Santa-Croce displayed more diamonds than any of her competitors; Mademoiselle Lescot was the best dancer among several ladies renowned for dancing; and Madame Tallien was, on the whole, the handsomest female that I saw in the room. There might possibly be women more beautiful than she at this ball, but they did not come under my observation.
Then he got into the cab with the same mien as he would have ascended the scaffold. As the vehicle disappeared round the corner of the Rue Pierre Lescot, Madame Lecoeur observed La Sarriette trying to hide the key in her pocket. "It's of no use you trying that little game on me, my dear," she exclaimed, clenching her teeth; "I saw him slip it into your hand.
As soon as Charles V had left the Louvre demolition was at once begun by Francis, and in 1541 an Italian, Serlio, was bidden prepare a set of plans for the Renaissance glory that was to be. Serlio, refusing, or debating the price, was cast aside for the Frenchman, Lescot, whose plan was adopted.
He knows the letters and the import of them!" "They are to that effect," the Archdeacon answered, drumming on the table with his fingers and speaking somewhat sullenly. "I was in the Chancellery, and I saw them. They are duplicates of those sent to Bordeaux." "Then the preparations he has made must be against the Huguenots," Lescot, the ex-Provost, said with a sigh of relief.
"My lord's Vicar of all people should be here!" he continued, leaning forward and looking round the table. His brow was stormy. Lescot squirmed under his eye; Thuriot turned pale and trembled. It was one of the canons of St.-Maurice, who at length took on himself to answer. "His lordship requested, M. le Comte," he ventured, "that you would excuse him. His duties " "Is he ill?" "He "
And Lescot and Thuriot shuffled in their seats. At length, "I do not know," Lescot muttered timidly. "You do not know?" "What can be done!" "The people will know!" Father Pezelay retorted "Trust them!" "But the people will not rise without a leader." "Then will I lead them!" "Even so, reverend Father I doubt," Lescot faltered. And Thuriot nodded assent.
The whole of the Pavilion de l'Horloge, and of this west wing, should be carefully examined in detail as the finest remaining specimen of highly decorated French Renaissance architecture. Pierre Lescot was the architect of this earliest wing; the exquisite sculpture is by Jean Goujon, a Frenchman, and the Italian, Paolo Ponzio. Examine much of it.
Mademoiselle LESCOT, tired of obtaining applause at the Theatre du Vaudeville, wished to do the same on a larger theatre. Here, she has not even the consolation of saying "Tel brille au second rang, qui s'eclipse au premier."
The amount of music, ancient and modern, I devoured is beyond belief. But it wasn't enough just to read music I needed to hear it. Of course there was the Société des Concerts, but it was a Paradise, guarded by an angel with a flaming sword, in the form of a porter named Lescot. It was his duty to prevent the profane defiling the sanctuary.
The two other constructions, which were to enclose the quadrangle to the north and east, were completed under such circumstances that there has never been a question as to their period. For fifteen years the work went on, when suddenly it was abandoned as were the plans of Lescot. A sole wing, that following the Seine and abutting at right angles against the Pavilion de l'Horloge, had resulted.
