In spite of the alarming benefits which Balzac attributes to this regime, one is amazed at the abundance of his productions, for, even though he sacrificed a large part of his days and nights, he none the less frequented certain famous salons, was often absent on vacations at M. de Margonne's home at Sache; at La Grenadiere, where he rented a house; and at Nemours.

Comprends-tu, Cupidon, c'est une sottise que tu as fait?" Cupidon made no reply; his head was hung down a little lower, and his lips extended a little farther out. "Sache que tu es un petit voleur!" continued his mistress. Cupidon did not condescend to answer. "Allez, monsieur; ne m'approchez pas."

These moors are flat and sandy, and for more than three miles are dreary enough until you reach, through a clump of woods, the road to Sache, the name of the township in which Frapesle stands. This road, which joins that of Chinon beyond Ballan, skirts an undulating plain to the little hamlet of Artanne.

In October he paid a sad little visit to La Boulonniere, which must have brought before him keenly the loss he had sustained; and after he spent a few days at Sache, where he was ill for a day or two as a result of mental worry and overwork. Another blow was to fall on Balzac before the disastrous year 1836 came to a close.

These absences did not apparently cause any friction; but when, in November, 1831, Balzac went to Sache to stay with M. de Margonne, and then moved on to the Carrauds, he left "Le Maitre Cornelius," which he was writing for the Revue de Paris, in an unfinished and uncorrected condition.

Aux pauvres. Quand l'or s'enfle dans ton sac, Dieu dans ton coeur decroit; Apprends qu'on est sans pain et sache qu'on a froid. Les jeunes filles vont rodant le soir dans l'ombre, Tes rochets, tes chasubles, aux topazes sans nombre, Ta robe en l'Orient dore s'epanouit, Sont de spectres qui sont noirs et vivant la nuit.

Having thus shown his principles clearly, he turned his attention in 1832 to Chinon, which was close to Tours, where he and his family had lived for so long, and to Sache, where he was a constant visitor.

"Very well," said Mr. Wenzel, desperately. "I believe the verse reads as follows:" "'Triumph! triumph! es siegt die gute Sache! Die Turkenknechte flieh'n! Laut tont der Donner der gerechten Sache, Nach Wien und nach Berlin." The thunders of the just cause Reach Vienna and Berlin!"

The lady was expected to pay a visit to Mere, near Sache; and Balzac felt obliged to go there three times a week to see whether she had arrived a duty which interfered sadly with his work. If he seemed likely to prosper in his suit, she was to be impressed by the sight of his groom and horses.

"God be praised; he gives me strength to bear my righteous martyrdom. Yes, I still love you, and I might have erred; the English woman shows me the abyss." We got into the carriage and the coachman asked for orders. "Take the road to Chinon by the avenue, and come back by the Charlemagne moor and the road to Sache." "What day is it?" I asked, with too much eagerness. "Saturday."
