After that let no one call the author a misogynist CHAPTER Containing an account of the vicissitudes that befel the "Lucretius" of the Prior de Vendôme XXIV CHAPTER Wherein Maurice finds his angel again XXV CHAPTER The Conclave XXVI Wherein we shall see revealed a dark and secret mystery and learn how it comes about that CHAPTER empires are often hurled against empires, and ruin falls alike upon the victors and the XXVII vanquished; and the wise reader (if such there be-which I doubt) will meditate upon this important utterance: "a war is a matter of business" CHAPTER Which treats of a painful domestic scene XXVIII Wherein we see how the angel, having become a man, behaves like a man, coveting CHAPTER another's wife and betraying his friend. in this chapter the correctness of young XXIX d'Esparvieu's conduct will be made manifest Which treats of an affair of honour, and which will afford the reader an opportunity of CHAPTER judging whether, as arcade affirms, the experience of our faults makes better men and XXX women of us CHAPTER Wherein we are led to marvel at the readiness with which an honest man of timid and XXXI gentle nature can commit a horrible crime CHAPTER Which describes how Nectaire's flute was heard in the tavern of Clodomir XXXII CHAPTER How a dreadful crime plunges Paris into a state of terror XXXIII CHAPTER Which contains an account of the arrest of Bouchotte and Maurice, of the disaster which XXXIV befell the d'Esparvieu library, and of the departure of the angels CHAPTER And last, wherein the sublime dream of Satan is unfolded XXXV THE WHITE STONE By Anatole France A Translation By Charles E.
