We called a fiacre paid for monsieur Jocko, and drove to Vincent's apartments; there we found, however, that his valet had gone out and taken the key. "Hang it," said Vincent, "it does not signify! We'll carry le petit monsieur with us to the Rocher." Accordingly we all three once more entered the fiacre, and drove to the celebrated restaurateur's of the Rue Mont Orgueil.
Mike longed to pull his money out of his pocket, but he had not been on terms with Lubi since he had called him a Marchand de Soupe, an insult which Lubi had not been able to forgive, and it was the restaurateur's women-folk who welcomed him back to town after his long absence. "What an air of dissipation, hilarity, and drink there is about the place!" said Mike.
She was of a fearless temper and broken in to an adventurous life; the costume she wore added perhaps a further spice of excitement, and she would sometimes sally out at night to visit a restaurateur's in the Rue du Four, at the sign of the Red Cross, a place frequented by men of all sorts and conditions and women of gallantry.

He was soon dissected, and all his unctuous parts carefully melted down, and I found that I had a stock which would last me as long as the bodies which I had remaining to exercise my skill upon.

I was for the moment the luckier of the two. While we were spending our time in a somewhat vagabond way, We returned to dine alone at Trianon. the 20th of June arrived. We met by appointment at a restaurateur's in the Rue St.
In a while, according to arrangement, Mr. Quorn returned, and this broke up our conclave. I knew already the hour and place appointed for that night, and the count and I agreed to meet there. 12 We met in a room in Soho, over an Italian restaurateur's.
