MICHAUD is, in many respects, an historian peculiarly qualified for the great undertaking which he has accomplished, of giving a full and accurate, yet graphic history of the Crusades. He belongs to the elevated class in thought; he is far removed, indeed, from the utilitarian school of modern days.
Michaud, the carpenter, shouted his welcome as he strolled towards the Post Office farther down to post a letter, and then the motor stopped with a jerk outside the courtyard where the fountain sang and gurgled in its big stone basin. Minks saw the plane tree. He glanced up at the ridged backbone of the building. What a portentous looking erection it was. It seemed to have no windows.
Journal of Commerce. "We need not say that the work of Michaud has superseded all other histories of the Crusades. This history has long been the standard work with all who could read it in its original language. Another work on the same subject is as improbable as a new history of the 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Salem Freeman.
"Oh! the treatment is simple," resumed Michaud with a laugh. "Your niece finds life irksome because she had been alone for nearly two years. She wants a husband; you can see that in her eyes." The brutal frankness of the former commissary, gave Madame Raquin a painful shock.
Very likely he would have fled with the 40,000 francs, had he been able to realise them; but the old mercer, on the advice of Michaud, had shown the prudence to protect the interests of her niece in the marriage contract. Laurent, in this manner, found himself attached to Therese by a powerful bond.
They want for nothing, those others! the wife of that scoundrel of a Michaud will be taken care of, I warrant you! And then, Madame, they said such horrible things of me and of you and of Monsieur le comte; and they finally declared that the farms would all be burned, and then the chateau." "Bah!" said Emile, "idle talk!
When Sibilet was at some distance the general said in a low voice to his bailiff: "Well, my dear Michaud, what is it; why did you make me that sign?" "You have an enemy within the walls, general, yet you tell him plans which you ought not to confide even to the secret police." "I share your suspicions, my dear friend," replied Montcornet, "but I don't intend to commit the same fault twice over.
They met the general near the chateau. "Where have you been?" he asked. "You shall know in a minute," said Blondet, mysteriously, as he helped the countess and Madame Michaud to alight. A moment more and the two gentlemen were alone on the terrace of the apartments. "You have plenty of moral strength, general; you won't put yourself in a passion, will you?"
These fists became a live fire whereon their lives were boiling. Amidst the night, amidst the heartrending silence that prevailed, the furious grips they exchanged, were like a crushing weight cast on the head of Camille to keep him under water. When the cab stopped, Michaud and his son got out the first, and Laurent bending towards his sweetheart gently murmured: "Be strong, Therese.
On the first few of these evenings, old Michaud and Grivet felt some embarrassment in the presence of the corpse of their old friend. They did not know what countenance to put on. They only experienced moderate sorrow, and they were inquiring in their minds in what measure it would be suitable to display their grief. Should they speak to this lifeless form?
