It seemed as if she had found the past years themselves, and she was filled with emotion as she looked at the pile of cards. They were of all sizes, big and little, and she took them every one down to the dining-room and began to lay them out on the table in the right order of years. Suddenly she picked up the very first one the one she had taken with her from the convent to Les Peuples.
When the news reached Les Peuples, Jeanne had a hysterical fit which lasted several hours. The baron went to Havre, made every inquiry, saw lawyers and attorneys, and found that the Delamare Company had failed for two hundred and fifty thousand francs. He again mortgaged his property, and borrowed a large sum on Les Peuples and the two adjoining farms.
One morning Rosalie went into her mistress's room earlier than usual. "Make haste and drink up your coffee," she said as she placed the cup on the table. "Denis is waiting to take us to Les Peuples. I have to go over there on business."
She did not see or hear anything of Julien's funeral, for she was delirious when he was buried. In a few days she was conscious of Aunt Lison's presence in her room, and, in the midst of the feverish nightmares by which she was haunted, she strove to recall when, and under what circumstances, the old maid had last left Les Peuples.
In 'King Arthur' occurs the famous 'Frost Scene, the close resemblance of which to the 'Choeur de Peuples des Climats Glacés' in Lulli's 'Isis' would alone make it certain that Purcell was a careful student of the French school of opera.

She came to Les Peuples as often as she could, and was always laughing and jumping up to kiss Jeanne. "We are happier now than we have ever been before," he said, one evening, to Jeanne.
One morning Rosalie came earlier than usual into her room, and said, setting down upon the table the bowl of coffee: "Come now, drink this up quickly. Denis is down-stairs waiting for us at the door. We are going over to Peuples to-day: I've got some business over there." Jeanne thought that she was going to faint, so deep was her emotion.
Above all, the sixth chapter of Montesquieu's great Treatise on Rome, the chapter "DE LA CONDUITE QUE LES ROMAINS TINRENT POUR SOUMETTRE LES PEUPLES," should be carefully studied by every one who watches the career and policy of Russia.
We may permit Montesquieu (Esprit des Lois II, 23, 14) to voice the French side of this question. "Les pais de pâturage sont pen peuplês. Les terres
Jeanne did not know, and, in her distress, she consulted Rosalie, who shrugged her shoulders, and observed: "What did I tell you, madame? Oh, you'd both of you have been in a nice muddle if I hadn't come back." Then, by her advice, Jeanne wrote back: "My Dear Son: I cannot help you any more; you have ruined me, and I am even obliged to sell Les Peuples.
