The funeral was over : for I should observe that in France interments are precipitated, and take place generally within forty-eight or sixty-four hours after death. He had followed his daughter to a grave which had been hollowed for her reception iu the picturesque cemetery of Pere la Chaise; and no doubt that profuse and bitter were the tears he had shed over the earth that was heaped upon her cofBn. His affliction did not now burst forth in paroxysms or in ebullitions : it was outwardly subdu...ed, but all the more profoundly experienced within. He came to bid me farewell: for he could not endure to remain any longer in a city where he had passed through so many phases of bitter woe : he was anxious to get back to the retirement of his own village-dwelling — there to yield himself up to such reflections as the tragic end of his daughter would inevitably force upon him. He again expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the sympathy I had shown him ; and I am convinced that the remembrance of his former harshness towards me, materially tended to enhance the poignancy of his thoughts.
