Finally she said in an ungracious voice 'It's the fourth floor to the right. I must take you up, I suppose. David thanked her, and she preceded them with the light through a door opposite and up some stone stairs. When they had mounted two flights, she turned abruptly on the landing 'You take the appartement from M. Dubois?
"When we walk out together, won't they present arms?" "Yes, wherever there are sentries they will present arms." Just at this moment Grindot was coming downstairs with Braschon. It had been arranged that after dinner, monsieur, madame, and mademoiselle were to enjoy a first sight of the new appartement; Braschon's foreman was now nailing up the last brackets, and three men were lighting the rooms.
She was enchanted by the theatres, the shops, the restaurants, the music, and the life which danced around her. She wanted to rent an appartement, and to live there for the rest of her existence. "But the season is almost over," said her husband; "everybody will be leaving." Unaccustomed as yet to his freedom, he still felt constrained to do the same as Everybody.
He was living at that time on a boulevard outside the first wall, which has since been demolished. His appartement was simply furnished, and not strikingly different in any way from the usual dwellings of the Parisian middle class.

This is well enough in the winter-time, many English people flocking thither attracted by the shelter and scent of the fir trees; but Arcachon itself the long unlovely street is in the winter months steeped in the depths of desolation.

It is positively cruel," said Lady Ver, as we went up the stairs to their appartement.
One of the cruellest scenes of Cesar's life was his forced conference with little Molineux, the being he had once regarded as a nonentity, who now by a fiction of law had become Cesar Birotteau. He was compelled to go to the Cour Batave, to mount the six flights, and re-enter the miserable appartement of the old man, now his custodian, his quasi judge, the representative of his creditors.
During the first twelvemonth she continued to reside alternately at Nohant, whither she came with her son and daughter for their holidays Solange being now placed in a children's school kept by some English ladies at Paris, and her "poet's garret," as she styled her third floor appartement on the Quai Malplaquet. This winter saw the ending for herself and De Musset of their hapless romance.
The dining-room, hung with a yellow paper covered with little green flowers, and floored with tiles that were not glazed, contained nothing that was not strictly necessary, namely, a table, two sideboards, and six chairs, brought from the other appartement. The salon was adorned with an Aubusson carpet given to Bridau when the ministry of the interior was refurnished.
But the sharp, inquisitive voice of his guide brought him back to material things. "You like the appartement, monsieur?" He threw aside his disturbing thoughts. "Undoubtedly, madame!" he said, quickly. "It is here that I shall live." Without conscious intention he used the phrase that he had used to Blake that he had used to Madame Salas.
