The episode of the mother and children in "Quatrevingt-treize" is equal to anything that Hugo has ever written. There is one chapter in the second volume, for instance, called "Sein guéri, coeur saignant," that is full of the very stuff of true tragedy, and nothing could be more delightful than the humours of the three children on the day before the assault.
The potatoes never came on the table looking like new fallen snow, as we have them at home. We were surprised to find both mutton and beef overdone, according to our American taste. The French talk about the Briton's "bifteck saignant," but we never saw anything cooked so as to be, as we should say, "rare." The tart is national with the English, as the pie is national with us.
Some of the deputies applauded, others turned away their heads or hid their faces in their hands; some more courageous, forced the wretch who bore the coeur saignant, partly by entreaties, partly by threats, to retire with his emblem of assassination.
