Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Marriage Settlement, And, Modeste Mignon: And Other Stories Nor ought we to omit notice of the careful study of the apprenticeship of a lawyer's clerk, wherein, as elsewhere no doubt, Balzac profited by his own novitiate. Altogether the story isja pleasant one, and we acquiesce in the tempering of the wind to Oscar when that ordinary person is consoled for his sufferings with the paradise of the French bourgeois -a respectable place, a wife with no dangerous brilliancy, and a good dot. U ne Double Famine, which had an almost unusually com plicated history and several titles, appears here (for reasons of practical convenience) out of its old place in conjunction with the Chat qm' Pelote. It is a good specimen of Balzac's average work, neither much above nor much below the run of its fellows.
