Excerpt from Pierrette
She was young, and knew'very little of the ways of the great world when she had been left' a widow, and she had thought, like many others, that her only chance of earning a decent liveli hood was in coming to Paris. To Paris, alas! Thatgreat refuge of struggling human beings. She ditl not know what life was to the poor in a great city; she could not foresee the loneliness, the disappointments, the trials and hardships she would have to endure. She had only seen Paris from without, as it seems to all those who first look upon its beauty, gay, brilliant, smil ing' and beckoning, promising many things. And she had sold what little she possessed, and come to this fair haven alone with her little daughter, but full of hope and courage.
