The Saint's encounter in the grove of Alephane with the golden-haired lady was a masterpiece of histrionic art; so was his solemn preaching among the black natives. Tears flowed freely at his violent death a scene which was only marred by the erratic movements of his venerable beard; that mill-stone, too, of PAPIER MACHE, played lovely pranks upon a pea-green ocean.
I should have liked The Flood better if it had had more living figures and less papier mache, though I am not ashamed to admit that I have no idea how this could have been done.
In Lower Canada, which is essentially France, I recollect the label, "Papier Terrier," upon the door of a public-land-office.
Dearest Mamma, I am sure what I am going to tell you will surprise you quite as much as it has done me. Victorine is really engaged! The day after the Ralli de Papier it rained again, and as we were sitting in the little salon after breakfast the old Baron was announced.

There are, in one place, fourteen falls in a short line. It is the next place to Ham Gardens . Poor Shenstone never tasted his pension. It is not very well proved that any pension was obtained for him. I am afraid that he died of misery . We came to Birmingham, and I sent for Wheeler, whom I found well. We breakfasted with Wheeler, and visited the manufacture of Papier Maché.
He alone had the right to open them; he was first in the secrets of their contents; he put them in order, and ticketed them with his signature. The expression "loger un papier au greffe," still used in the Channel Islands, is thence derived. However, one precaution was certainly taken.

Meanwhile she spoke on, and did not appear to notice how time was flying.
