Excerpt from The Romance of the Forest, Vol. 1 of 3: Interspersed With Some Pieces of Poetry; The Third Edition
Such were the words of the Advocate Nemours to Pierre de la Motte, as the latter fiept at midnight into the carriage which was to hear him far from Paris, from his creditors and the perfecution of the laws. De la Motte thanked him for this lafi infiance of his kindnefs, the af fifiance he had given him in efcapc, and, when the carriage drove away, ut tered a fad adieu! The gloom of the hour, and the peculiar emergency of his circumfiances, funk him in filent re veric.
Whoever has read Guyot de Pitaval, the mofi faithful of thofe writers who re cord the proceedings in the Parliamen tary Courts of Paris, during the (even teenth century, mufit fately remember the firiking (iory of Pierre de la Motte.
