His school days at Lyons were equally agreeable to the young vagabond. His studies occupied him little; he loved to wander through the streets of the great city, finding everywhere food for fanciful speculation. He would follow a person he did not know, scrutinizing his every movement, and striving to lose his own identity in that of the other, to live the other's life.
He did nothing to alleviate his thirst for adventures. 8. The wind blows during the heavy summer afternoons. 9. How many times he forgets himself! 10. Let him come! Qui s'ennuie? 2.

Daudet's love for his native land was intense. Its images were ever present to him; its poetry haunted him throughout his life. He urged young men ambitious of literary laurels to remain in their native provinces, to draw their inspiration from the soil, confident that something great and beautiful would result. Why did he not take for himself the counsel he so incessantly offered to others?
At her solicitation Daudet was made one of the secretaries of the powerful Duke of Morny, president of the corps législatif . His duties were purely nominal. He now had money enough to keep the wolf from his door and was free to devote himself to literature. It was at this time that the stage began to attract him. His first play, "La Dernière Idole," was produced at the Odéon in 1862.
I considered it to be my indispensable duty, as minister of the crown, to place my answer upon record; and I will fairly own that, though I felt that M. Thiers might complain of my delay, and might have said that, by postponing my answer till he was out of office, I prevented him from making a reply, it did not occur to me at the time that M. Guizot would feel at all embarrassed by receiving my answer to his predecessor.
The "mirage" effects of the southern sun pursue him to Paris; quick to promise out of the fullness of his hearty enthusiasm, he encourages and disappoints those who trust themselves to him. He deceives his wife, begs her forgiveness with abundant tears, and in a disgusting manner deceives her a second time. The book ends with the picture of Rosalie Roumestan bending over her new-born son.
