And all three remained silent. M. de Faverges entered. He had a morocco case under his arm, like a solicitor; and, depositing it on the table, said: "These are pamphlets! They deal with reform a burning question; but here is a thing which no doubt belongs to you." And he handed Bouvard the second volume of the Mémoires du Diable.
Depositing his dispatch-box upon the table, he heaved a gentle sigh on becoming aware that he was so soaked with perspiration that he might almost have been dipped in a river. Everything, from his shirt to his socks, was dripping. "May she starve to death, the cursed old harridan!" he ejaculated after a moment's rest. Then he opened his dispatch-box.

"I kiss your honour's hand," said the Leather-bell, depositing his hat and stick in the doorway. How frightfully hot it is outside, and oh! what a lot of dust.
