A Contented Man and a Parisian Tale of Fortunes
A Washington Irving prose piece follows a cheerful old Parisian on the Tuileries benches, his ironies about fortune, resilience after the revolution, and the odd voyage to London, where poverty, fame, and the indemnity law reshape his outlook, ending with a moral about happiness.
