Edwards begged of me to inquire for how many generations that instinct lasted. Monsieur and Madame Gay Lussac lived in the Jardin des Plantes. Madame was only twenty-one, exceedingly pretty, and well-educated; she read English and German, painted prettily, and was a musician.
When Claude, about three o'clock, got up and went away to his workroom Alston often went off for a stroll alone.
