Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rosine and Sister Louise
He has not much to boast of yet does he pride himself with some reason on the good looks, good digestion, good spirits, and good manners that, in a world like his, give him the reputation of a good heart.
Dogs' weather he mutters with a laugh and a curse, while he wrings a snow-?ake from his long eyelashes not that I would turn a dog out in such a storm as this! Holy Virgin what a time the wolves are having! Here's another track, and yet another. Ah, rogues! And my gun is not loaded with ball! To-morrow, my friends, I will pay my respects to you; and then for Paris, pleasant, wicked Paris; I wish I was there to-day. When I am in one place I always do wish I was in another! It is my character. What then There are men and men, as there are women and women. I wish I was at home now. Courage, my little Arnold, a quarter of a league more will see thee housed in safety by a blazing fire in the blue saloon. Ah here it comes again!
