Evariste Gamelin, painter, pupil of David, member of the Section du Pont-Neuf, formerly Section Henri IV, had betaken himself at an early hour in the morning to the old church of the Barnabites, which for three years, since 21st May 1790, had served as meeting-place for the General Assembly of the Section. The church stood in a narrow, gloomy square, not far from the gates of the Palais de Justice. On the façade, which consisted of two of the Classical orders superimposed and was decorated with inverted brackets and flaming urns, blackened by the weather and disfigured by the hand of man, the religious emblems had been battered to pieces, while above the doorway had been inscribed in black letters the Republican catchword of "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death."

Évariste Gamelin, peintre, élève de David, membre de la section du Pont-Neuf, précédemment section Henri IV, s'était rendu de bon matin à l'ancienne église des Barnabites, qui depuis trois ans, depuis le 21 mai 1790, servait de siège à l'assemblée générale de la section. Cette église s'élevait sur une place étroite et sombre, près de la grille du Palais. Sur la façade, composée de deux ordres classiques, ornée de consoles renversées et de pots à feu, attristée par le temps, offensée par les hommes, les emblèmes religieux avaient été martelés et l'on avait inscrit en lettres noires au-dessus de la porte la devise républicaine: "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité ou la Mort." Évariste Gamelin pénétra dans la nef: les voûtes, qui avaient entendu les clercs de la congrégation de Saint-Paul chanter en rochet les offices divins, voyaient maintenant les patriotes en bonnet rouge assemblés pour élire les magistrats municipaux et délibérer sur les affaires de la section. Les saints avaient été tirés de leurs niches et remplacés par les bustes de Brutus, de Jean-Jacques et de Le Peltier. La table des Droits de l'Homme se dressait sur l'autel dépouillé.

Mael, a scion of a royal family of Cambria, was sent in his ninth year to the Abbey of Yvern so that he might there study both sacred and profane learning. At the age of fourteen he renounced his patrimony and took a vow to serve the Lord. His time was divided, according to the rule, between the singing of hymns, the study of grammar, and the meditation of eternal truths.

MY first duty should be to make known the authorities for this history. But L'Averdy, Buchon, J. Quicherat, Vallet de Viriville, Siméon Luce, Boucher de Molandon, MM. Robillard de Beaurepaire, Lanéry d'Arc, Henri Jadart, Alexandre Sorel, Germain Lefèvre-Pontalis, L. Jarry, and many other scholars have published and expounded various documents for the life of Joan of Arc. I refer my readers to their works which in themselves constitute a voluminous literature, and without entering on any new examination of these documents, I will merely indicate rapidly and generally the reasons for the use I have chosen to make of them. They are: first, the trial which resulted in her condemnation; second, the chronicles; third, the trial for her rehabilitation; fourth, letters, deeds, and other papers.

THE strangest, the most varied, the most erroneous opinions have been expressed with regard to the famous individual commonly known as Bluebeard. None, perhaps, was less tenable than that which made of this gentleman a personification of the Sun. For this is what a certain school of comparative mythology set itself to do, some forty years ago

Histoire de l'ascension infernale d'Évariste Gamelin, jeune peintre parisien, engagé dans la section de son quartier du Pont-Neuf, Les dieux ont soif décrit les années noires de la Terreur à Paris, entre les ans II et III. Farouchement jacobin, fidèle entre les fidèles de Marat et Robespierre, Évariste Gamelin finira par être nommé juré au tribunal révolutionnaire.La longue et implacable succession des procès quotidiens de plus en plus expéditifs (à partir de la loi de prairial en particulier) entraîne cet idéaliste dans une folie qui le coupera de ses proches et précipitera sa propre chute à la suite de son idole Robespierre, au lendemain du 9 Thermidor. Son amour avec Élodie, la fille de Jean Blaise, son marchand d'estampes, accentuera l'aspect paradoxal de la montée d'une cruauté inspirée par des idées politiques a priori généreuses chez ce garçon médiocre que tout dispose à la gentillesse sinon à la faiblesse.Justifiant cette danse de la guillotine par le combat contre le complot visant à réduire à néant les acquis de la Révolution, au milieu de la tourmente révolutionnaire qui traverse Paris, toujours avide de justice, Gamelin finit par trahir ses propres principes en votant la mort du ci-devant Jacques Maubel, qu'il prend pour son rival. Élodie, qui avant Évariste, a cédé à un petit clerc de procureur très joli garçon (devenu le dragon Henry, révolutionnaire par opportunisme, autre personnage du roman), lui a raconté qu'elle avait été séduite par un jeune aristocrate, et sur de simples présomptions, Gamelin se convainc qu'il s'agit de Maubel.

Which treats of the appearance of the country and serves as Introduction The sea covers to-day what was once the Duchy of Clarides. No trace of the town or the castle remains. But when it is calm there can be seen, it is said, within the circumference of a mile, huge trunks of trees standing on the bottom of the sea. A spot on the banks, which now serves as a station for the customhouse officers, is still called "The Tailor's Booth," and it is quite probable that this name is in memory of a certain Master Jean who is mentioned in this story. The sea, which encroaches year by year, will soon cover this spot so curiously named.

On a émis sur le personnage fameux, vulgairement nommé la Barbe-Bleue, les opinions les plus diverses, les plus étranges et les plus fausses. Il n'en est peut-être pas de moins soutenable que celle qui fait de ce gentilhomme une personnification du soleil. C'est à quoi l'on s'est appliqué, il y a une quarantaine d'années dans une certaine école de mythologie comparée.

What one first notes about The Queen Pedauque is the fact that in this ironic and subtle book is presented a story which, curiously enough, is remarkable for its entire innocence of subtlety and irony. Abridge the "plot" into a synopsis, and you will find your digest to be what is manifestly the outline of a straightforward, plumed romance by the elder Dumas.
