George Eliot's Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals: Vol. 3

By George Eliot

We prolonged our stay in Paris in order to see Mada-me Mohl, who was very good to us; invited the Scherers and other interesting people to meet us at dinner on the 29th, and tempted us to stay and breakfast with her on the 31st, by promising to invite Renan, which she did successfully, and so procured us a bit of experience that we were glad to have, over and above the pleasure of see-ing a little more of herself and M. Mohl. I like them both, and wish there were a chance of knowing them better. We paid for our pleasure by being obliged to walk in the rain (from the impossibility of getting a carriage) all the way from the Rue de Rivoli-where a charitable German printer, who had taken us up in his fiacre, was obliged to set us down-to the H tel du Helder, through streets lite-rally jammed with carriages and omnibuses, carrying pe-ople who were doing the severe social duties of the last day in the year. The rain it raineth every day, with the exception of yesterday; we can't travel away from it, ap-parently. But we start in desperation for Bayonne in half an hour.
