Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edition Définitive of Les Contes Drolatiques Now for the First Time Completely Translated Into English, Vol. 2 of 2: Collected in the Abbeys of Touraine and Brought Forth Into the Light In the winter when they of the Religion made their first appeal to arms, which was called the Tumult of Amboise, an attorney named Avenelles lent his house, situated on Rue des Marmousets, for the meetings and conventions of the Huguenots, being one of them, yet misdoubting not that the Prince de Conde, La Renaudie, and others had it in mind to kidnap the king. The said Avenelles was a red-bearded knave, smooth as a stick of licorice, pale as the devil, like all pettifoggers who burrow in the dark corners of the parliament-house, - in a word, the scurviest runagate of an advocate that ever lived, laughing at hangings, always ready to sell anything, a very Judas. According to some authors, this limb-of-the-law of shrewd understanding was in this matter half fig, half grape, as will abundantly appear in the present tale.
