Andrews, author of some scientific and many sociological works, inveterate pamphleteer and revolutionary journalist, proprietor and editor of L'Ami du Peuple, and idol of the Parisian rabble, who had bestowed upon him the name borne by his gazette, so that he was known as The People's Friend.
I will send you reinforcements, and to-morrow morning dig up the little wood behind the house." Behind them came the gruff and the shrill tones of L'Ami Fritz and his wife raised in indignant expostulation. "Are you coming, Sylvia?" called out Chester impatiently. He had gone on into the garden, unwilling to assume any responsibility as to the police.
Through the open door she thought she heard Monsieur Wachner coming back down the passage. So she suddenly took the pearls out of the other woman's hand and clasped the string about her neck again. L'Ami Fritz came into the room. He was holding rather awkwardly a little tray on which were two cups one a small cup, the other a large cup, both filled to the brim with black coffee.
It looked as old nay, older than the house itself. The young men who were playing at dominoes looked up and nodded, as three or four others had done in the outer room when we passed through. "Bonjour, l'ami," said the one who seemed to be winning. "Hast thou chanced to see anything of Martial, coming along!"
As for my affections, battered and exhausted as they ought to have been in many literary passions, they never went out with fresher enjoyment than they did to the charming story of 'L'Ami Fritz, which, when I merely name it, breathes the spring sun and air about me, and fills my senses with the beauty and sweetness of cherry blossoms.
Reichenbach, the doyenne of the Comedie Francaise, as Suzel. Of this charming artist Sarcey wrote that, having attained her sixteenth year, there she made the long-stop, never oldening with others. L'Ami Fritz is, in reality, a German bucolic, the scene being laid in Bavaria. But it has long been accepted as a classic, and on the stage it becomes thoroughly French.
L'Ami Fritz looked quite moved out of himself. He seized Anna by the hand. "I congratulate you!" he said heartily. "What a splendid thing to go on winning like that. I wish I had been there, for I might have followed your luck!" They all four walked out of the Casino. It was a very dark night. "And what will you do with all that money?" Monsieur Wachner solicitously inquired.
Ah, yes, it is indeed a splendid thing to be young!" She sighed, a long, sentimental sigh, and looked across, affectionately, at L'Ami Fritz. "I do not feel my youth to be so very far away," she said. "But then, the people in my dear country are not cynical as are the French!"
"If you do not mind," said Madame Wachner, "I should prefer to be driven to the station, for l'Ami Fritz had to go to Paris." She laughed ruefully. "To fetch money, as usual! His system did not work at all well yesterday poor Fritz!" "How horrid!" said Sylvia. "It must be very disappointing to your husband when his system goes wrong." "Yes, very," answered the wife drily.
There stood Voltaire, Rousseau, Montesquieu, Locke, Hume all the authors who ought to have been present. There were also periodicals, the Moniteur, Pere Duchesne and Marat's L'Ami du Peuple. This last was bound in somewhat greasy leather, which resembled pig's-skin, and had curled up at the corners. Another wall was covered with engravings, some coloured and some plain.
