That Cæsar intended to accomplish the drainage of this tract is mentioned by Dion Cassius and Suetonius. The physical condition of this tract is described by Prony, in his "Description Hydrographique et Historique des Marais Pontins," 4to. Paris, 1822; the work is accompanied by a volume of plans and sections and a map of the district.
Were they to visit one after the other all the fancy goods stores? Marianne took pity on him. "Let us return, shall we?" she asked. She called to the coachman: "Rue Prony!" while Sulpice, whom she unwillingly took with her, though he wearily yawned, seized her hand and said as he sneezed: "Ah! how kind you are!"
He partially forgot the keen wound given to his self-love by the time that he found himself close to Parc Monceau approaching Rue Prony. In Marianne's windows the lights were shining. To see that woman and hold her again in his arms, overjoyed, that happiness would console him for all his mortifications. Marianne's love was worth a hundred times more than the delights of power.
Vanda's horses pawed the ground spiritedly as they started at the fashionable hour for the Bois, through the great gateway leading to the stables. And now, for months, a corner of Rue Prony had been silent and drowsy, and weighted with the melancholy that surrounds forsaken objects.
"Why did you not ask Caffarelli afterwards?" "I dared not, because I should have betrayed myself to him." Prony says that Buonaparte was not obstinate in his own opinion with men of science about those things of which he was ignorant; but he would bear no contradiction in tactics or politics. May 29. Madame Recamier has no more taken the veil than I have, and is as little likely to do it.
The dazzling honors attending his entry into the ministry found their culmination in the burning glance of Marianne, as their eyes met. Hardly was she installed in Rue Prony than she reminded him of his promise to call on her. He hastened to her with strange eagerness and he left her more disturbed, as if he had just taken a peep at an unknown world.
The motor should he made to run at that speed at which it gives the greatest power with a high efficiency, without heating to a degree which would damage the insulating material. Before fixing a motor in its final position, it should also be tested for power with a dynamometer, and for this purpose a Prony brake answers very well.
Never had Vaudrey, whom she saw that evening at Rue Prony, seemed so provincial, or, as she said, so Sulpice. Besides, he was gloomy and unable to express himself clearly at first, but finally he brought himself to acknowledge that he was embarrassed about providing for the bill of exchange she understood "No, I do not know!" "The bill of exchange in favor of Monsieur Gochard!" "Ah! that is so.
Five different trials were made at varying speeds of the driving shaft; the initial work on this shaft was measured by a dynamometer, and the available energy of the shaft of the receiving machine was ascertained by a Prony brake; the other results of the experiments were deduced from the constants of the machines and from galvanometric measurements.
There was, however, a somewhat false ring in this laugh. Face to face with the avowed trustfulness of his wife, Sulpice experienced a slight pricking of conscience. He thought of Marianne. His passion increased tenfold, but this very increase of affection made him afraid. He hastened to find himself again at Rue Prony. The Hôtel Beauvau depressed him. It became more than ever a prison.
