Excerpt from Sister Anne At all the theatres the plays were played out. the restaurateurs were closing their cafes, the tradesmen had long since closed their shops. The traffic of the streets had lessened, and the foot-passengers had become few and far between. The cabs rolled swiftly along with their last fares. The street reflectors were burning brightly, while the houses began to look more and more sombre as the gas within them was extinguished. The streets of Paris, as well as the good inhabitants of that capital, were about to enjoy the hours of repose. Repose, however, may be likened to good weather in that it is never general, for one may often enjoy it in Paris when there is war in another part of the globe, and when we are enjoying a most mild and agreeable temperature, within a hundred leagues of us, perhaps, a storm destroys the harvests or a tempest submerges vessels.
