Daily Dose

From Notre-Dame de Paris, by Victor Hugo, translation by John Sturrock

MEANWHILE

"Meanwhile the dismal cavalcade had passed through the crowd, amidst cries of delight and craning necks. Though, as a faithful historian, we have to say that some, even among the hardest, seeing her so beautiful and so downcast, were moved to pity. The tumbril had entered the parvis."

From Book Eight, Chapter Six, Three Men's Hearts Differently Formed
