章节摘录

　　CHAPTER 1　　A Play　　Three hundred and forty-eight years,six months,and nineteen days ago,the Parisians awoke to the sound of all the bells of the city ringing.　　The sixth of January,1482,is not,however,a day of which history has preserved the memory.There was nothing notable in the event which thus set the bells and the bourgeois of Paris in an excited state from early morn-ing.It was merely the Epiphany and the Feast of Fools.　　On that day,there was to be a great fire on the Place de Greve and a play at the Palais de Justice.So the crowd of citizens, having　closed　their　houses　and　shops,thronged from every direction towards the two spots des-ignated.　　Those who crowded at the law courts did so because they knew that the Flemish ambassadors,who had ar-rived two days previously for a visit with the king,intend-ed to be present at the presentation of the play and at the election of the Pope of the Fools,which was also to take　　place in the grand hall.　　It was no easy matter on that day to force one's way into that grand hall.Thousands of people thronged the windows,the doors,the roofs,gazing at the palace.Hence,discomfort,impatience,weariness,the liberty of a day of cynicism and foolishness,had already imparted a harsh and bitter accent to the noise of these people who were shut in.The time for the play to begin had already long passed,and a storm,which was only rumbling in the distance as yet,was floating on the surface of this crowd.It was Jehan Frollo,a young scholar,who struck the first spark from it.　　"The play,or else,my advice is that we should hang the guards of the courts," he cried.　　"Welt said," replied the people.　　A grand applause followed. The four poor guards standing　near　the　stage　turned　pale　and　exchanged glances.The crowd hurled itself towards them,and they already saw the frail wooden railing,which separated them from it,giving way and bending before the pressure of the throng.　　It was a critical moment.　　Just then, the curtain of the dressing room was raised and a person appeared,the mere sight of whom suddenly stopped the crowd.The personage,trembling in every limb,advanced to the edge of the stage,bowing nu-merous times. In the meanwhile,peace had gradually been restored.　　……
