Excerpt from On the Boulevards, Vol. 1: Or Memorable Men and Things Drawn on the Spot, 1853-1866, Together With Trips to Normandy and Brittany
King Louis the Thirteenth is besieging. His son is there in the royal service but the old man is drawn thither chiefly to know whether his last poem has been read by the King. The tragedy that, in a few hours, is enacted under the old man's eyes, is nu folded with great force, and in a few pages. If M. Thomas had spared his reader the picture of the father dragging a corpse into the moonlight, to find whether it was his dead son, he would have improved his work. However, he has drawn even this revolting scene with a masterly hand.
