Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...alone to-morrow, and, before settling down to Views, shall give myself a week in Paris, which, sad as she is, and in spite of the garish vulgarity of the Second Empire, that went far to ruin her charm, remains ever "la ville ou on peut le mieux se passerdu bonheur." BOOK VIII '. Prove yourself; and if you are afraid, go back ivith the East-ivind ivho brought you hither. He is about to fly home noiv, and ivill not be seen here again for a hundred years; the time ivill seem ti you like a hundred hours, but it is a long time to be tempted.
