Your ugly faces receive kisses by the post. But you kill our pigeons, you intercept our letters, you shoot at our balloons with your absurd fusils de rempart, and you burst out into a heavy German grin when you get hold of one of our bags, which are carrying to those we love our vows, our hopes, our remembrance, our regrets, and our hearts. It is a merry farce, is it not?
In connection with those Grand Cafe gatherings I one day had a little adventure. It had been arranged that I should meet my father there, and turning into the Boulevards from the Madeleine I went slowly past what was then called the Rue Basse du Rempart.
In another direction are visible the green tops of the Tamarin and the Rempart; and in a fourth, the three-headed mountain called the Trois Mamelles. Contiguous to these opens a deep caldron, two of the sides of which have broken down in ruin, while the others remain erect and steep.
Who could behold them as I have done, in that sick room, without acknowledging that, despite of all that has been said of the deleterious influence of courts on the feelings of those who live much in them, the truly good pass unharmed through the dangerous ordeal? Went to the Théâtre des Nouveautés last night, where I saw La Maison du Rempart.
"Come, conductor, frankly, is it true?" "What?" "What this gentleman says?" And he pointed to the Genevese. "Monsieur Feraud?" "I don't know if that is his name." "Yes, sir, that is my name Feraud & Company, No. 6 Rue du Rempart, Geneva, at your service," replied the watchmaker, bowing. "Gentlemen," repeated the conductor, "take your places!" "But you haven't answered."
In another direction are visible the green heights of the Tamarin and the Rempart; in a fourth may be seen the three-headed mountain called the Trois Mammelles. Contiguous to these opens a deep caldron, two of the sides of which have broken down in ruin, while the others remain erect and precipitous.
One of the scenes of La Maison du Rempart represents an armed mob demolishing the house of a citizen an act of violence that seemed to afford great satisfaction to the majority of the audience; and, though the period represented is that of the Fronde, the acts of the rabble strongly assimilated with those of the same class in later times, when the revolution let loose on hapless France the worst of all tyrants a reckless and sanguinary mob.
