He sees the shabby condition into which imperial palaces and State houses are falling, and talks with the aristocratic or cultured nouveau pauvre carrying his lunch of sausage and black bread to a gloomy apartment at the back of a fourth floor, and he feels the calamity that has fallen upon Austria. Austria with a nominal 2800 crowns to the pound sterling cannot last.
He turned away from her stammering: "I've no business here I've no business to be your doctor or anyone's doctor. I think I must be going mad." She shook her head. "No no only too serious, mon pauvre jeune homme. But I like your your Francey. I think she and I be good friends some'ow. She would see things 'ow I see them." And you're right. "One of these days you be friends again too.
"I recall to myself every morning, Madame Bathilde," he began, removing a large blob of honey from the dimple in his pink chin, "how that angel used to arise and prepare herself for her day's work. And of an economy! Charcoal did for her four times what it will for me. And times are hard!" Bathilde sighed sympathetically. "My faith, yes; she was a wonderful manager, pauvre ange.
That one was like a rose when I first saw her. Pauvre enfant!" And he looked after her with a compassionate glance. "She seems different," said Peter. "It is not well with her?" "Alas, no!

A hard life, harder even than that of a soldier. Who is this lad?" "He is my brother, who, if I go as a soldier, intends to volunteer as a drummer." "Pauvre enfant! c'est dommage."
I followed the lady and her husband into the car, and we found a Prussian officer there before us. He looked at us, and, with a good humored smile, said, 'The emperor kept the English out of France, but the English have now got where he could not! 'Ah, pauvre, Napoleon!

At last the little doctor told them that the interesting young man was an English prisoner whom the French officer had in custody. Their merriment at once gave place to pity. "Ah! le pauvre garçon!" said one to another; "he is merry, however, in all his trouble."
Brigit, vastly amused by their discussing her as if she were not present, gave a bit of roll to the dog. "A quaint little dog," she observed to them both. Joyselle laughed. "Yes, yes, il est bien drôle, ce pauvre. But-ter-fly. And the name, too, hein? Some day I will tell you the story of why I have had nine dogs all named 'But-ter-fly.
