Every workman coming to Paris with a passport is required, within three days of his arrival, to appear at the prefecture of police with his livret, in order that it may be indorsed. In like manner, any labourer leaving Paris with a passport must obtain the visé of the police to his livret, which, in fact, contains an abstract history of his industrial life.
Dust here, dust there! if one could be like a silk-worm, and live lying on the leaf one feeds on, it would be a sort of answer to the riddle living out of the dust, and in the present. I find none in my religion. No doubt, Madame de Breze did: why did you call Diane so to M. Livret? She looked at him smiling as they came out of the shadow of the clipped trees. He was glancing about for the boat.

He attacked the shrug, as he thought, very temperately; but in controlling his native vehemence he grew, perforce of repression, and of incompetency to deliver himself copiously in French, sarcastic. In fine, his contrast of the pretence of their noble country to head civilization, and its encouragement of a custom so barbarous, offended M. d'Orbec and irritated M. Livret.
Although we ourselves alluded to the subject on a former occasion, we may recapitulate a few points from the volume before us: 'Every workman or labouring boy is obliged, all over France, to provide himself with a book termed un livret, indorsed in Paris by a commissaire of police, and in other towns by the mayor or his assistants, containing his description, name, age, birthplace, profession, and the name of the master by whom he is employed.
'If he would learn that he was fashioned for that purpose! exclaimed little M. Livret. 'Do not ask young men for too much head, my friend; he would cease to be amusing. 'D'Henriel should have been up in the fields at ten this morning, said M. d'Orbec. 'As to his head, I back him for a clever shot. 'Or a duelling-sword, said Renee. 'It is a quality, count it for what we will.
For me, I desire the interview and I am a coward: I need not state it. She ceased; presently continuing: 'The other inhabitants are my sister, Agnes d'Auffray, wife of a general officer serving in Afric my sister by marriage, and my friend; the baronne d'Orbec, a relation by marriage; M. d'Orbec, her son, a guest, and a sportsman; M. Livret, an erudite.

In fact, no person, under a heavy fine, can employ a workman unless he produce a livret of the above description, bearing an acquittal of his engagements with his last master.
M. Livret did not gainsay the impeachment of her by a great French historian, tender to women, to frailties in particular yes, she was cold, perhaps grasping: but dwell upon her in her character of woman; conceive her existing, to estimate the charm of her graciousness.
