Excerpt from L'Écueil, Vol. 2

Champs - Élysées, le cavalier qui trotte à l'an glaise le long de la chaussée éclipse du haut de sa monture, fût-elle de louage, le modeste pié ton de la contre-allée, mais aux Tuileries ces distinctions s'effacent. Les grilles qui s'ouvrent aux chiens tenus en laisse restent impitoyable ment fermées aux chevaux, et chaque prome neur ne pèse que de son poids personnel. Sur le sable de l'allée des Feuillants, éperonnées ou non, toutes les bottes sont égales.
