Excerpt from The False Heir, Vol. 2 of 3 "Rest you merry!" says one of our friends in Shakspeare, but, assuredly, it would have been a very unnecessary benediction if addressed to our good friend Jean Marais, for his was a nature in which merriment was so inherent, that it would have needed an ocean of sorrow, and a bucketful of philosophy, to drown out the sparkling flame of his gaiety. "Not at all, not at all, " he cried, as he sat in a chamber of the Château d'Artonne, which served the purposes of what we call the servants' hall in England, with Madame d'Artonne's pretty lady's-maid beside him, a somewhat grim-looking valet de chambre opposite, and three or four other servants round.
