You'll find her, I believe, good-natured and affectionate; au reste, I fear a very rustic Miranda, and fitted rather for the society of Caliban than of a sick old Prospero. Is it not so, Millicent? The old man paused sarcastically for an answer, with his eyes fixed severely on my odd cousin, who blushed and looked uneasily to me for a hint. 'I don't know who they be neither one nor t'other.

I cannot say that their appearance made me envy the convicts much, although some of them were perhaps better-looking than the women one meets out of the prison. In truth, one meets very few women at all, and those that sees are far from attractive. Au reste, the convicts go about apparently very little guarded, with a chain round the waist and each leg.

Pattison somewhat sternly remarks, and on the other to be reprehended by Germain Brice in 1718, for evincing quelque reste du goût gothique some reminiscence of Gothic taste. Jean Goujon is really the first modern French sculptor. He remains, too, one of the very finest, even in a competition constantly growing more exacting since his day.

The intention of Liszt and Wagner and Strauss was to write music. However long Wotan might ponder on Mother Earth the moment comes when the violins begin to sing; ah! how the spring uncloses in the orchestra, and the lovers fly to the woods!... Moi, je m'en fous, Je reste dans mon trou I am going to see dear and affectionate friends.

In what a very little space, indeed, lie all our happy moments; even the most successful of us can count them one by one, as it might be, on the fingers of one hand; and how tardy, how wearying, are those where sorrow, and trouble, and despair hold their own. "Ce qui nous charme s'en va, et ce qui fait peine reste. La rose vit une heure, et le cyprès cent ans."

Ils ont d'autres manières de s'amuser: le jeu, la boisson, et le reste, qui sont de tous les temps et de tous les pays: l'histoire de France en peut témoigner autant que celle de n'importe quelle nation. Il faut croire que ces plaisirs sont les plus appropriés

Make this Christmas as merry a one as you can; for 'pour le peu du bon tems qui nous reste, rien nest si funeste, qu'un noir chagrin'. For the new years God send you many, and happy ones! Adieu. By the EARL OF CHESTERFIELD on the Fine Art of becoming a and a LONDON, February 11, 1766

I suppose we shall read in the Times that "all is quiet," and in Le Matin that "pour le reste tout est calme." The staff are doing well. They are generally too busy to be frightened, but one has to speak once or twice to them before they hear. On Wednesday night, the 7th October, we heard that one more ship was going to England, and a last chance was given to us all to leave.

"I am conquered by Benazet; I have lost in almost every combat. I have lost my treasure, my baggage, my ammunition of war, everything but my honour, which, au reste, Mons. Benazet will not accept as a stake; if he would, there are plenty here, believe me, who would set it on the trente-et-quarante.

The heart may survive the decay or rupture of an innocent and lawful affection "la marque reste, mais la blessure guerit" but the love of darkness and guilt is branded in a character ineffaceable eternal!
