" I am sorry, prince, to see you suffering so much," said he, in a low, tremulous voice, rendered almost inaudible by extreme...
Pagina 13 - The mayor asked one of the men where he would wish to go ; he answered, ' To Blois.' It was directly the contrary way from that which we were taking. The mayor wished to return, and to pass across the whole town. I opposed this, and we changed our direction, but without going back through the streets.
Pagina 25 - I intend to paint a gouache from it, which my dear little sister will certainly see at our tender mother's ; but it is not yet commenced, and will take me much time, for truly it is no small work. " To give you an idea of the agreeable manner in which they travel in this country, I will tell you, my dear sister, that we passed fourteen nights in the woods, devoured by all kinds of insects, after being wet to the bone, without being able to dry ourselves ; and eating pork, and sometimes a little salt...
Pagina 45 - The Chamber of Peers are come to present to your Royal Highness the Act which is to secure our future destiny. You formerly defended in arms our new and inexperienced liberties ; to-day you are about to consecrate them by laws and institutions. We have the assurance in your exalted understanding, in your personal feelings, in the recollections of your whole life, that in you we shall find a Citizen-King. You will respect our securities, which are yours also. The noble family that we see around you,...
Pagina 10 - I have never witnessed anything more affecting than the transports, the acclamations, and the applauses of the prisoners, during this demolition. In the midst of the tumult, I was struck with the melancholy and miserable looks of the Swiss, who regarded the operation with evident symptoms of grief.
Pagina 25 - ... the stage or public conveyance. We have seen many Indians, and we remained several days in their country. They received us with great kindness, and our national character contributed not a little to this good reception, for they love the French. After them we found the Falls of Niagara, which I wrote you from Pittsburg we were about to visit, the most interesting object upon our journey. It is the most surprising and majestic spectacle I have ever seen. It is a hundred and thirty-seven (French)...
Pagina 14 - I held one of the men by one hand, and by the other endeavoured to free the coat. At last one of the national guard arrived to our assistance, and by force cleared the man. The crowd was still increasing. It is but justice to the people of Vendome to say that they kept their word, and tried to induce the peasants to do no violence to the men. Seeing, however, that if I continued my march, some misfortune must inevitably occur, I cried we must take them to prison, and then all the people cried,
Pagina 24 - ... in a dream when I think how soon I shall again embrace my brothers and be re-united to them, — I, who formerly imagined that our separation was impossible! Think not, however, that in any thing I complain of my destiny. Oh, no ! I feel too sensibly how much more frightful it might really be — I shall not even deem it unfortunate, if, after being restored to my brothers, I learn that my dear mother is also well and comfortable, and especially if I may indulge the thought of contributing in...
Pagina 38 - Poor old gentleman! The sum was too difficult both for himself and the brother who succeeded him. Charles X. was admirably adapted for the task he proposed to himself upon ascending the throne. No one in a shorter time, by any possible...
Pagina 8 - ... five or six leagues with leaden soles, in his usual walks ; and lastly, on having taught him many branches of knowledge, and on having inspired him with a taste for travelling !
