158,95 kr. Sur la route L'autre jour, j'ai rencontré sur la route le vieux Ibire. Il ramassait des feuilles sèches pour couvrir ses navets. Je lui appris que la Chambre avait voté l'expédition de Madagascar. - Eh bien, oui ! fit-il... Qu'est-ce que c'est encore que cette manigance-là ? (Car le vieux Ibire se méfie, maintenant, quand la Chambre vote quelque chose, et même lorsqu'elle ne vote rien. Au seul mot de Chambre ou de député, instinctivement, par un geste rapide, le bonhomme garantit, de ses deux mains, ses deux poches, comme s'il y avait encore quelque chose à prendre, depuis le temps qu'on y puise.) - C'est, lui répondis-je, que nous sommes trop riches, que nous ne savons que faire de nos millions !.

128,95 kr. La vie littéraire Parmi les divers objets qui piquent la curiosité d'un voyageur, j'avais depuis longtemps le plus vif désir de recueillir quelques anecdotes sur la vie des gens de lettres; et me trouvant à Londres, un des endroits les plus renommés pour la publication des livres, j'étais extrêmement curieux de connaître l'espèce d'animaux qui les produit. Le hasard me mit heureusement en relation avec un littérateur nommé Buckthorne, personnage qui habitait depuis longtemps la métropole, et qui pouvait me tracer l'histoire naturelle de tous les animaux étranges que l'on rencontre dans cette vaste forêt. Il s'empressa de me communiquer quelques renseignements utiles sur l'objet de mes recherches.

128,95 kr. Le grand inconnu Les histoires qu'on va lire m'ont été racontées par le même individu aux nerfs irritables qui m'apprit l'anecdote romanesque du gros Monsieur, publiée dans le Château de Brace-Bridge Il est bien singulier qu'on s'obstine toujours à me regarder comme le témoin de cette aventure, quand j'ai pris soin d'affirmer d'une manière positive qu'on m'en a fait le récit, et quand j'ai donné le signalement du narrateur. Je proteste que jamais rien de semblable n'est arrivé en ma présence. Je n'aurais pas songé cependant à me plaindre, si l'auteur de Waverley, dans son Introduction au roman de Pévéril du Pic, n'avait prétendu qu'il était lui-même le personnage dont on citait l'embonpoint. Depuis lors, j'ai été constamment importuné par les questions et les lettres de plusieurs lecteurs, et surtout d'une infinité de dames, qui ont voulu savoir ce que j'ai vu du Grand Inconnu.

113,95 kr. Graves réflexions d'un homme désappointé. M. Buckthorne s'était arrêté à la mort de son oncle et à la perte de ses grandes espérances, événement qui formait, comme il le disait, une époque dans son histoire: ce ne fut qu'après un long intervalle et dans une disposition d'esprit assez sérieuse qu'il reprit sa narration passablement bigarrée. Quand je me fus éloigné, dit-il, de tout ce qui restait de mon oncle, et qu'on eût fermé la porte entre moi et ce qui aurait dû m'avoir appartenu un jour, je me trouvai jeté nu dans le monde et complètement abandonné aux soins de la Fortune. Que devenir maintenant ! Je n'avais été formé à rien, qu'à me nourrir d'espérances; et elles venaient toutes d'être déçues. Point de parents dont je dusse attendre conseil ou secours.
