Beaumont opened the delicate case with a sigh, which claimed the notice of her young confidante. "What a deep sigh!" said Miss Hunter, who was perfect, to use a musical term, in her lessons, pour observer les soupirs: "What a sigh! I hope it was for my poor brother?" "Ah, no, my love! for one nearer my heart for you." "For me! dear me!"
Coming back we crossed the "Allée des Soupirs," which has its legend like so many others in this country: It was called the "Allée des Soupirs" on account of the tragedy that took place there.
She inquired much after you, and, I thought, with interest. I answered her as a 'Mezzano' should do: 'Et je pronai votre tendresse, vos soins, et vos soupirs'.

As the son of a dramatist and the nephew of a popular composer, he had easy access to the stage. He began as the librettist-in-ordinary to M. Offenbach, for whom he wrote Ba-ta-clan in 1855, and later the Chanson de Fortunio, the Pont des Soupirs and Orphée aux Enfers.
