About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... priest and a hangman are brought into his prison: the priest begins. There is, in that prison, an iron ring like this one, walls as silent and as thick as these, walls that deaden cries, that stifle sobs, that absorb the death-agony.

Adieu, Buridan; have you anything to say to me? Bur. Only one thing. Marg. Speak. Bur. It is a reminiscence of my youth that I wish to relate to you. In 1293, twenty years ago now, Burgundy was happy; for she had a beloved duke, Robert II... Do not interrupt me, and spare ten minutes to the man for whom eternity is about to begin... Duke Robert had a young and beautiful daughter, with the form of an angel, and the soul of a demon; she was called Marguerite of Burgundy... Let me finish... Duke Robert had a young and handsome page, with a heart open and trustful, with fair hair and ruddy face; he was called Lyonnet de Bournonville... Ah! you listen with more attention, it seems to me! The page and the maiden...
