penetration were realized and when a new French Generalissimo, General Weygand, assumed

command in place of General Gamelin, an effort was made by the French and British Armies in

Meagre, indeed, and cold, was the sympathy that a transgressor might look for, from such bystanders at the scaffold. on the other hand, a penalty which, in our days, would infer a degree of mocking infamy and ridicule, might then be invested with almost as stern a dignity as the punishment of death itself. which best describes the purpose of the words "meagre," "scaffold," "stern," and "punishment of death"? they impart a judgmental, reproachful mood. they impart a gloomy and woeful mood. they establish the municipal setting of the town square. they establish the boisterous setting at the scaffold.
