Reybaud, Henrietta Etiennette Fanny (Arnaud) (Mme. Charles Reybaud). La belle paysanne; tr. from the French by Remus F. Foster. $1. Neale.
A young French student falls in love with the pastel of a beautiful woman which he finds in his uncle’s house, and he hears her story from an old lover of hers and a priest, and learns how, as a young girl, she broke her troth to the marquis and married a handsome peasant, whom she afterwards murdered. In the end he finds in his uncle’s repulsive old housekeeper the original of his fancy.
