The Mob and the Singer. CHAPTER XVIII. CHAPTER !I! MUTE SINGER. CHAPTER I. SYLVIE'. THE height of a house in Paris is by no means indicative of the grandeur of the abode. In a remote portion of the Rue St. Denis stands many a dwelling that, if placed beside the most sump tuons mansions of Grosvenor Square, would tower above them, and yet is the residence of a host of humble toilers for daily bread, who seem to mount nearer to the skies according to the degree of their poverty. One might almost imagine that the pro mise of easier access to heaven than is accorded to the rich, gave them this upward tendency. In one of these lofty habitations for the lowly, a hundred and forty steps led to an apartment in the sixth story, where Everard de la Roche lodged, with his wife and daughter. The bareness of the 8 THE MUTE SINGER. room betokened an absence of worldly possessions. The red -tiled oor had no covering, the windows no curtains, the bed no drapery. Indeed, the lat ter was merely a framed canvas that could be folded up at pleasure. A few yards of faded calico, stretched across the further corner, con verted that portion into a small chamber. In one window feebly bloomed a pot of unhealthy -look ing mignionette the favorite ower of the French poor, and often to be found in their meanest abodes. The enumeration of the furniture will occupy little space. It consisted of a wash -stand, four rush -bottomed chairs, a low stool, a worm eaten chest !the receptacle of the family ward robe), a tiny charcoal cooking -stove, and yonder strangely unsuited to the place a piano! An old, battered affair, with keys as yellow as a tobacco -chewers teeth, but still a veritable piano. Just above the venerable instrument, an unpainted deal shelf held a number of broken -backed books, some pieces of music, and a tin cup containing a few common owers. Upon a corresponding shelf on the ,Opposite side of the room, were various kitchen utensils, neatly arranged; a cup board beneath inclosed a sparse supply of crockery and other household goods. SYLVIE. 9 It is June, and the twilight of a long summer day is approaching. Several sheets of music are scattered upon the floor. The piano is Open; on the three -legged stool before it sits a young girl. Her head rests upon one arm, which is stretched over the instru ment as though she had fallen forward from ex haustion; the other arm hangs listlessly by her side she is asleep. The outline of her undeveloped form is delicate, yet too angular for grace. The coarse grey stock ing and rough shoe cannot wholly disguise the smallness and shapeliness of a foot and ankle some what liberally revealed by her position. Her complexion is sickly, almost sallow in its hue. Her features are too much sharpened by want and suffering to be deemed handsome; but the min gled blandness and rmness of the mouth, the thin, slightly curved nostrils, and the broad brow, indicate force of character. The only impression of beauty is conveyed by the arch of the slender eyebrows, the length and darkness of thellashes that lie upon her colorless cheeks, the silkiness and luxuriance of the purple -black hair that, escaping from her comb, sweeps down her shoul ders, and falls like a rich veil over the yellow 10 THE MUTE SINGER. piano -keys. Her garb is very humble; simply a dark blue calico dress, relieved by a narrowâ¦. print-on-demand item.
