Excerpt from The Abbe Daniel: From Andre French Andre Theuriet It is often said that France has no word for flame because the French do not know what flame means. The Abbe' Daniel shows how false such a charge is. It takes us into that beautiful home life which the French themselves perhaps avoid displaying to inquisitive eyes, but which is really the secret of the true stability of France. We here see a French home, and we finish the perusal of the book with a new respect for the French farmer and the French girl, the French soldier and the French priest.
