"Lament ye maids an' darters For constant Sarah Ann, Who hang'd hersel' in her garters All for the love o' man, All for the " She was pausing, bottle in hand, to take the high note: but hush'd suddenly at the sound of the voices singing in the room upstairs "Vivre en tout cas C'est le grand soulas Des honnetes gens!" "That's the foreigners," said the chambermaid, and went on with her ditty
But there was an improvement in the eight last groups opposite the Virgin of the Pillar some simple figures carved by the pupils of Soulas; these, however, were to some extent wasted, since they stood in the shadow, and it was almost impossible to judge of them in that half-dead light.
The lion dressed his tiger very smartly a short tunic-coat of iron-gray cloth, belted with patent leather, bright blue plush breeches, a red waistcoat, polished leather top-boots, a shiny hat with black lacing, and brass buttons with the arms of Soulas.
I am answerable only for Legitimist voters; I have secured Madame de Watteville, and that means all the aristocracy of Besancon. Amedee de Soulas and Vauchelles, who will both vote for you, have won over the young men; Madame de Watteville will get the old ones. As to my electors, they are infallible." "And who on earth has gained over Madame de Chavoncourt?" asked Savarus.
By noon the bar was half sever'd, and I broke off to whistle a tune. 'Twas "Vivre en tout cas, C'est le grand soulas " and I broke off to hear the key turning in my lock. The jailer's daughter enter'd with my second meal. Her eyes were red with weeping. Said I, "Does your father beat you?" "He has, before now," she replied: "but not to-day." "Then why do you weep?" "Not for that."

"Then, my dear, you must lock me up," I decided gloomily, and fell to whistling "Vivre en tout cas, C'est le grand soulas " A workman's hammer in the court below chim'd in, beating out the tune, and driving the moral home.
When she told you yesterday that obedience was the only way to repair your errors, and reminded you of the need for marrying, mentioning Amedee 'If you are so fond of him, marry him yourself, mother! Did you, or did you not, fling these words in her teeth?" "Yes," said Rosalie. "Well, I know her," Monsieur de Grancey went on. "In a few months she will be Comtesse de Soulas!
She gave her entire approbation to the Baron de Watteville's design, while choosing for the erection of this monument a spot at the bottom of the garden, which could not be seen from Monsieur de Soulas' windows, but whence they could perfectly see into Albert Savaron's rooms.
"If I add to this that two of Jehan de Beauce's colleagues have been traced: Thomas Le Vasseur, who assisted him in the building of the new spire, and one Sieur Bernier, whose name occurs in ancient accounts; that from some old contracts, discovered by Monsieur Lecoq, we know that Jehan Soulas, image-maker, of Paris, carved the finest of the groups that are the glory of the choir-aisles, and can verify the names of other sculptors who succeeded this admirable artist, but who are less interesting, since with them pagan art reappears and mediocrity is evident: François Marchant, image-maker, of Orleans, and Nicolas Guybert, of Chartres we have mentioned almost all the records worthy of preservation as to the great artists who laboured at Chartres from the twelfth till the close of the first half of the fifteenth century."
