Excerpt from Louis Duval: A Tale of the French Revolution
Louis was seated on the ground, leaning against his grandmother's knee, and looking up wistfully at her wrinkled face. It was long past noon, and they had not dined.
Will my father come back soon, do you think, grandmother asked Louis, breaking a long silence.
I do not know, my poor boy,' replied Margaret. 'if he should have succeeded in getting work, he will not be long, I think. It will be such good news.'
