Rossitur, as her husband's eyes went inquiringly to her, "Mrs. Plumfield was Mr. Ringgan's sister, you remember. This is her son." "Cousin Seth, eh?" said Mr. Rossitur dubiously. "Well Why Fleda, your sweet air don't seem to agree with you, as far as I see; I have not known you look so so triste since we left Paris. What have you been doing, my child?"
We cannot stay long at Suez, nor should I carry my reader there, even for a day, seeing how triste and dull the place is, had not our hero made an acquaintance there which for some time was likely to have a considerable effect on his future life. Suez is indeed a triste, unhappy, wretched place. It is a small oriental town, now much be-Europeanized, and in the process of being be-Anglicized.
"My sister says it is the most triste place in the world," said he; "but we shall change all that when we arrive." There was nothing to prevent our arriving very soon to relieve Mlle. de Berensac's depression, for the middle of the next day found us at Avranches, and we spent the afternoon wandering about somewhat aimlessly and staring across the bay at the mass of Mont St. Michel.
He built his fire with great deliberateness, gloomy and silent as though performing a last rite for one departed, and ate solemnly, his face long. At last she could stand the stress of him no longer and burst suddenly into a fit of laughter which echoed madly among the rocks. "Oh, John Markham!" she cried. "Why so triste? The melancholy sweetness of seeing Olga again?" "No," he replied calmly.
Our road lay for the most part through immense seas of lava, in the crevices of which a variety of ferns had taken root, and, though relieving the otherwise triste appearance, in many places shut out our view of any thing besides.
Perhaps it might have been better if I had adhered to it; but I subsequently modified it, not without a good deal of thought. It would be dull for you, I reflected triste, as Rita would say, here with me. A strange uncle, an elderly man, unused to young people, could not fail to be a constant check, a constant restraint upon gay and youthful spirits.
It's very late, but I don't like to go to bed, partly because I can't keep jumping up and down to look out of my window at wild crags and moonlit sea when I'm asleep; partly because I have such silly, miserable dreams about Sir Lionel hating me, that I wake up snivelling; and to write to you when I'm a tiny bit triste is always like warming my hands at a rainbow-tinted fire of ship's logs.

It is the book that Gautier loved, it is Baudelaire's masterpiece. Open it at that sad madrigal that begins Que m'importe que tu sois sage? Sois belle! et sois triste! and you will find yourself worshipping sorrow as you have never worshipped joy.
These are Notre Dame of Vitry le Francois and St. Etienne of Toul, formerly a cathedral, both places to be stopped at by leisurely tourists. The fair, the triste city of Nancy! There is an indescribable charm in the sad yet stately capital of ancient Lorraine.
