Qui se plaît. — Who loves to dwell or to be

2. De l'escabeau . . . s'empare. — There the poor takes possession of the empty stool by the hearth.

3. C'est là qu'un jour je vins m'asseoir. — It is there that one day I seated myself. Hère we might possibly translate the word vins, I came and sat down, though it would be rather awkward. But venir is often used in Irench where the verb to corne would seem redundant in English, as in note 4 of XXXVII., le plomb tous deux vint les atteindre, the shot struck them both.
