I supposed I was to see a nautilus; it was legere et vaporeux, it could not then be a seal. No, a nautilus. Thirty centimes here goes for a sight of the nautilus. But it was touching to observe the confidence of the showman. He refused the entrance fee. "No, gentlemen. You shall yourselves decide whether the amphitrite is worth six sous.
