CHAPTER XI Recounts in what manner the angel, attired in the cast-off garments of a suicide, leaves the youthful Maurice without a heavenly guardian CHAPTER XII Wherein it is set forth how the angel Mirar, when bearing grace and consolation to those dwelling in the neighbourhood of the Champs �lys�es in Paris, beheld a music-hall singer named Bouchotte and fell in love with her CHAPTER XIII Wherein we hear the beautiful archangel Zita unfold her lofty designs and are shown the wings of mirar, all moth-eaten, in a cupboard CHAPTER XIV Which reveals the cherub toiling for the welfare of humanity and concludes in an entirely novel manner with the miracle of the flute CHAPTER XV Wherein we see young Maurice bewailing the loss of his guardian angel, even in his mistress's arms, and wherein we hear the Abb� Patouille reject as vain and illusory all notions of a new rebellion of the angels CHAPTER XVI Wherein Mira the seeress, Z�phyrine, and the fatal Am�d�e are successively brought upon the scene, and wherein the notion of Euripides that those whom Zeus wishes to crush he first makes mad, is illustrated by the terrible example of Monsieur Sariette CHAPTER XVII Wherein we learn that Sophar, no less eager for gold than mammon, looked upon his heavenly home less favourably than upon France, a country blessed with a savings bank and loan departments, and wherein we see, yet once again, that whoso is possessed of this world's goods fears the evil effects of any change CHAPTER XVIII Wherein is begun the gardener's story, in the course of which we shall see the destiny of the world unfolded in a discourse as broad and magnificent in its views as Bossuet's discourse on the history of the universe is narrow and dismal
