t the stair-foot the landlord stopped me. "Here, lad, take a candle. The stairs are dark, and, since I like your looks, I would not have you break your neck." "And give the house a bad name," I said. "No fear of that; my house has a good name. There is no fairer inn in all Paris. And your chamber is a good chamber, though you will have larger, doubtless, when you are Minister of Finance." This raised a laugh among the tavern idlers, for I had been bragging a bit of my prospects. I retorted: "When I am, Ma tre Jacques, look out for a rise in your taxes."

Extrait du chapitre Chapitre 1 UN TRANGE MALADE Ce fut le 3 janvier 1845, 8 heures du soir, que je fis la connaissance de M. Maximilien Heller. Quelques jours auparavant, j'avais t abord dans la rue par un de mes amis, Jules H..., qui, les premiers compliments chang s, m'avait dit avec une insistance toute particuli re: Voici d j quelque temps que je voulais aller chez vous, mon cher docteur, pour vous prier de me rendre un grand service. Un de mes anciens confr res du barreau, M. Heller, qui demeure ici pr s, est dans l' tat de sant le plus alarmant. Nous avions d'abord cru, ses amis et moi, que son mal tait plus moral que physique. Nous avons essay tous les moyens de distraction possibles, nous avons t ch de donner quelques aliments son intelligence, que nous avons connue autrefois si belle et si lumineuse. Je dois convenir que tous nos efforts ont chou . Il ne nous reste plus qu' implorer le secours de la science. Ce que notre amiti n'a pu faire, votre autorit de docteur le fera peut- tre.

The Duc de St. Quentin and his son arrive in Paris to support the would-be king, Henry. However, as in any court of intrigue, there are others that would thwart Henry's ascension. From assassination attempts to spies within the family servants, will the St. Quentin family survive the royal court? Or will they take actions into their own hands and assure Henry's ascension by force?The New York Times made the following announcement on July 14, 1900, "A young romantic novelist, Miss Bertha Runkle, of New York City, will make her debut in the August Issue of The Century Magazine with the first chapters of a novel which will run through eight numbers of the periodical. The work is described as a dramatic romance of love and adventure, and is entitled "The Helmet of Navarre". The scene of the tale is laid in Paris during the siege by Henry of Navarre, and the action occupies the four days preceding the Sunday when Henry entered the city to accept the Roman Catholic faith. Miss Runkle is the daughter of Mrs. L.G. Runkle, a woman well known in New York literary circles."
Blue Helmet: My Year as a UN Peacekeeper in South Sudan tells the story of a country, a conflict, and the institution of peacekeeping through the eyes of a senior American military officer working on the ground in one of the most dangerous countries on the planet. South Sudan is rich in natural resources, and its fertile soil could make it the breadbasket of East Africa. Yet it remains the poorest and most corrupt country in the region, plagued by disease, famine, and ethnic strife. Abductions, sexual violence, death, and displacement affect tens of thousands of people each year. Edward H. Carpenter pulls readers into his world, allowing them to experience the powerful, poignant realities of being a peacekeeper in South Sudan. In the process, the author reveals how the United Nations really conducts its missions: what it tolerates and how it often falls short of achieving the aims of its charter-equal rights, justice, and economic advancement for all people-with the use of armed forces limited to serving those common interests by keeping the peace and preventing the scourge of war. It is a story that is eye-opening, unsettling, and always compelling. Global leaders may fairly claim that they have done everything they can to help South Sudan help itself: they’ve dispatched thousands of peacekeepers and provided billions of dollars in aid. So why is the UN still struggling to fulfill its mandate to protect civilians and safeguard the delivery of humanitarian assistance? What could be done better? Bringing the reader to the forefront of action, Blue Helmet answers these questions and raises others about how modern peacekeeping missions are organized and overseen, shedding light on some of the contradictions at the heart of peacekeeping.
