Note 2 — Section 106. THE DRAMA OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION OF 1848. VI.
Reading edition
‘throwing — life’. The rendering of this passage according to the rule of S. 16, N. 4 would be inelegant, since there are a number of Present Participles following one another. I propose, therefore, to begin a new period here, saying: He throws aside his tinsel (here Flitterstaat, m.), puts on fustian, etc.; to put on fustian, sich in Barchent kleiden.
