Excerpt from Madame De Stael, an Historical Novel, Vol. 1 Natura la fece e poi ruppe la stampa. It was a dull, close, overcast day. A drizzling rain thickened the atmosphere and enwrapped everything in a gray shroud. The first verdure of May was sprouting, and the magnificent, shade-trees in the gardens of the Tuileries raised their heads more proudly as leaf after leaf shot forth from their branches and hourly imparted a more and more attractive appearance to them. To-day, however, no one feasted his eyes on the fresh verdure, not an idler wended his way hither, not a warm sunbeam stole down from the overcast sky to kiss away the moisture from the young leaflets. The streets of Paris were deserted, only pressing necessity could induce any one to leave the shelter of his roof.
