They plunged into that maze of tall, narrow, medieval streets of older Paris which Méryon loved to picture before they disappeared in the improvements of Napoleon. They crossed the Latin Quarter and thence wending eastward, entered finally the Quarter of St.
After the termination of the trying visit Baudelaire, with acrid irony, asks himself why he, with his nerves usually unstrung, did not go quite mad, and he concludes, "Seriously I addressed to Heaven the grateful prayers of a pharisee." In March the same year he assures the same correspondent that decidedly Meryon does not know how to conduct himself.
I wish to see if this date coincides with my adventures." After that Baudelaire knew his man. Meryon spoke with admiration of Michelet's Jeanne d'Arc, though he swore the book was not written by Michelet.
He became more and more convinced, and his solicitor with him, that there had been a Scotch marriage some eighteen months before this date between Meryon and the sister of a farmer in the Lothians, with whom he had come in contact during a fishing tenancy.
"I entreat you to tell me why, and where." "Since you have made me this offer, I will tell you why. Lady Meryon objected to my friendship with you, and objected in a way which-" She stopped, flushing palely. I caught her hand. "That settles it!-that she should have dared! I'll go up this minute and tell her we are engaged. Vanna-Vanna!" For she disengaged her hand, quietly but firmly.

She had in her mind the memory of that London church, with the strained upturned faces, the "hungry sheep" girls among them, perhaps, in peril like Hester, men assailed by the same vile impulses that had made a brute of Philip Meryon.
Meryon was unable to resume his voyage at this time, but in 1828, the news that a malignant fever had attacked the household at Joon, and carried off Lady Hester's companion, Miss Williams, gave rise to fresh plans for a visit to Syria.
The man who first acclaimed him as worthy of associating with Rembrandt was the critic Charles Baudelaire; and we are indebted to him for new material dealing with the troubled life of Charles Meryon. On January 8, 1860, Baudelaire wrote to his friend and publisher, Poulet-Malassis, that what he intends to say is worth the bother of writing.
On their way home Mamie drew her attention to a poster, and she saw the name of Meryon in great orange letters on a white ground. "He will be here before Christmas. I'll let you come with me to hear him play if you are good," she said, and she took the elder girl's hand in hers and pinched it.
