To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, unhappily, mendings and patchings have quite destroyed our power of discovering to which artist the different windows are due. The main attraction of Saint-£tienne is the tomb of Sainte-Genevieve. Long before the Pantheon ceased to be the church of the maid of Nanterre, it was to Saint- £tienne that the faithful journeyed to pray for her interces- sion, and to have their belongings laid upon her coffin. Here, any day, but especially during the octave of htrfete^ you may see people bringing... handkerchiefs, rosaries, crosses, towels, etc., to be placed in the shrine, in order to carry the Saint's blessing and help to the sick and the suffering at home. The stone coffin is said to have been found in tlie crypt of the abbey church during its demolition in 1801, but whether it be the original one in which Sainte-Genevieve was buried in 511, it is impossible to say, as it is so surrounded by ornamental ironwork that its workmanship cannot be studied ; but the effect of the little chapel containing this tombeau^ with its lights and flowers and stained-glass, is very charming, and during the neuvaine^ when the church is ablaze with candles, and hundreds of people font queue to the shrine, it is a sight not easily forgotten.
