Description
"In the year 1800, toward the close of October, a foreigner, accompanied
by a woman and a little girl, was standing for a long time in front of the
palace of the Tuileries, near the ruins of a house recently pulled down, at the
point where in our day the wing begins which was intended to unite the chateau
of Catherine de Medici with the Louvre of the Valois.
The man stood there with folded arms and a bowed head, which he sometimes
raised to look alternately at the consular palace and at his wife, who was
sitting near him on a stone. Though the woman seemed wholly occupied with the
little girl of nine or ten years of age, whose long black hair she amused
herself by handling, she lost not a single glance of those her companion cast on
her. Some sentiment other than love united these two beings, and inspired with
mutual anxiety their movements and their thoughts. Misery is, perhaps, the most
powerful of all ties."
