Excerpt from Redemption: De Toute Son Âme It was closing time at Ville-en-Bois, men and women were trooping out of the factories and workshops, their hands and faces discoloured with smoke, and with clinging particles of iron, brass, tan, and the dust that swirled continuously around the pulleys in motion. The more dilatory clocks had not yet sounded the last stroke of seven. The month of May was drawing to its close, and a warm softness filled the evening air. Work was over: the roar of the machinery was gradually subsiding, the spiral clouds of coal dust above the brick chimneys were growing less, voices began to be heard between the walls of the Rue de la Hautiere, and those of the old road to Coueron, as well as in the higher quarter of Nantes where the town adjoined Chantenay. There was something impressive in this hour of the day, when toil let loose her army of workers on the streets.
