Synopsis

Excerpt from French Pictures in English Chalk: Second Series Certainly the thought of making a "deputy" (read, French M.P.) of Martin Boulet would never have occurred to any one save Martin Boulet himself; and that the idea should ever have come to him, Martin Boulet, except as the visionary consequence of a too festive supper, was a thing past the reach of comprehension. It even caused no little consternation amongst us when, in that odd, dry way he had, our friend announced his intention of contesting the seat just vacated by M. de Foie-Gras, who had gone to sleep with his forefathers. M. de Foie-Gras had not been buried above ten days, and yet the very night before, the Moniteur had come down from Paris with the decree convoking the electors of third circumscription of the Departements du Bouillon (i.e. our circumscription) for that day three weeks. This looked like business. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
