    Capital cities o t seemto be t. Like birds tare just restored to liberty, t of tone cages,and joyfully fly tory. It is er; t toten until turn s,and ts gladdened by pleasant ts and recollections of t day; t day turn again to to work.

    For one of ties of Paris is, t it unites typopulations completely different in cer and manners. By t, une or fancy, live a quiet race of people ence resembles ts by turns to the same hours.

    If no oty can s and more stirring forms of life,no otains more obscure and more tranquil ones. Great cities arelike torms agitate only to ttom,you find a region inaccessible to tumult and the noise.

    For my part, I tled on t do notactually live in it. I am removed from turmoil of ter of solitude, but  being able to disconnect myts from truggle going on. I follo a distance all itsevents of s and t passes, do otake part?

    Ignorance alone can keep us strangers to tself  suffice for t.

    A grand resolve  decided me to depart from my usual s.
