Description
Excerpt from The Revolt of the Angels: A Translation by Mrs. Wilfrid Jackson
Alexandre, entering the army, made a splendid career for himself he was a good speaker. The second, Gaetan, showing no particular aptitude for anything, lived mostly in the country, where he hunted, bred horses, and devoted himself to music and painting. The third son, René, destined from his childhood for the law, resigned his deputyship to avoid complicity in the Ferry decrees against the religious orders; and later, perceiving the revival under the presidency Of Monsieur Falliéres of the days of Decius and Diocletian, put his knowledge and zeal at the service of the persecuted Church.
