I know no restaurant at Paris, except a very ignoble one, close by my lodging." "'Apropos', where do you lodge?" "Rue de l'Universite, Numero ." "A fine street, but 'triste'.

One day, it was about the end of November, having seized the opportunity of his Majesty's absence to take a walk through the Faubourg Saint Germain, I unexpectedly encountered his Majesty on his way to the Luxembourg, just as he arrived at the entrance of the Rue de Tournon; and it is impossible to describe the intense satisfaction with which I heard shouts of "Vive l'Empereur" break forth as he approached.
