Upon this foundation supported by eight square stones, each a foot in height, there was laid a slab of white stone five inches thick; four other slabs of the same thickness closed the sides and ends, which, being joined at the angles by Roman cement, formed a species of stone grave or sarcophagus. This was just of depth sufficient to admit the coffin being placed within it.
Mme. de La Fayette's first published work was La Princesse de Montpensier in 1660 or 1662. This was followed by Zaïde, in 1670, which bore the name of Segrais, but which is by Mme. de La Fayette. La Princesse de Clèves was published in 1677 from the house of Claude Barbin. It was in four volumes, and bore no name.
Allons! se disait-il en regagnant l'impasse Claude-Bernard, le moment est venu. It is time to launch the ship. D'où que vienne le vent désormais, celui qui soufflera sera le bon. Puisque je ne puis être tout près du vieux, apprêtons-nous
What so white is yonder by the greenwood? Is it really snow, or white swans resting?

The war awakened in our sensitive poet a seriousness of purpose which harmonized but little with his native genius. Among his friends he never lost his old-time buoyant gaiety; but his works from now on show only a trace of it. The charming "Belle-Nivernaise" , a few "tarasconades," a gleam here and there in all his works, remind us of our old friend and plead for our sympathy with the new.
I need not say that I attach no credit to this report, and that I believe you have endeavoured, by conciliatory means, to adjust the difference. At the same time, as you have acted in the belief that the spanish government were right in their pretensions, it is clear that your advice, whatever it was, and you do not describe it particularly, could not be expected to produce much effect.
In 1862, as a result of a short but disastrous war, Montenegro had been forced to sign a humiliating treaty of peace in which she virtually acknowledged the suzerainty of Turkey. Daudet was in Africa in 1861-1862, gathering materials out of which "Tartarin" grew. It is possible that he met there the prototype of Gregory brooding over the disgrace of his country, or, at least, pretending to do so.
Of all the characters that appear in Daudet's novels it is perhaps Frédérique whose appeal to the reader is strongest, and Frédérique is almost entirely the product of the author's imagination.
