Get on top of an omnibus I don't say in Paris, from the Palais Royal to the Arc de Triomphe, but in Brussels, from the Gare du Nord to the Palais de Justice and what do you see? From end to end one unbroken succession of noble and open prospects.
She took it up; then her face blanched suddenly, and she came piteously up to David, who was standing just inside the closed door. 'Wish me luck, Monsieur David, wish me luck, as you did before! But he was silent, and she tore open the letter. 'Dieu! mon Dieu! It was a sound of ecstasy. Then she flung down the letter, and running up to David, she caught his arm again with both hands. 'Triomphe!
The sadness had been painful, the result of a great and unexpected misfortune. No one had dared to look up, fearing to be blown upon by the same wind which was blowing the German flag floating yonder towards the Arc de Triomphe. I now found Paris effervescent and grumbling. The walls were placarded with multi-coloured posters; and all these posters contained the wildest harangues.
As soon as Hector's horse had passed the Arc de Triomphe he became suddenly imbued with fresh energy, and, realizing that his stable was not far off, began to trot rapidly through the maze of wheels, despite all his rider's efforts to restrain him. The carriage was now far behind.
Millionaire tourists with retinues of servants following them in motor- cars may never know this effect; nor the Parisienne who paid a thousand francs to send her pet dog to Marseilles.

It had been sent to them in the French ship, Triomphe, despatched for the purpose by Count de Estiang, at the request of Lafayette. Washington immediately wrote to Governor Clinton, saying: "I take the first moment of forwarding to your excellency the despatches from the secretary of foreign affairs, which accompany this.
The swallows thought, so a poet says, that the Arc de Triomphe was erected for them; we artists think that this public building was built for us, to compensate for the stupidities of the Theatre-Francais and make us laugh; but the comedians on this stage are much more expensive; and they don't give us every day the value of our money."
They asked her hand for a young Spaniard of the purest lineage, and she was given to understand that the 'contrat' would be signed in the palace of a queen, who does not live far from the Arc de Triomphe.
