M. Louis appeared to find my anecdote entertaining. But the most astonishing was what the little Bois l'Hery, with his Parisian street-boy's accent, related to us concerning the household of his employers. Marquis and Marquise de Bois l'Hery, second floor, Boulevard Haussmann.
I turned wrathfully for a London street-boy's yell, let off at point-blank range, is, in effect, like the smack of an open hand but the inscription on the staring yellow poster that was held up for my inspection changed my anger to curiosity. "Horrible discovery in a watercress-bed!" Now, let prigs deny it if they will, but there is something very attractive in a "horrible discovery."

The street-boy's mind matures while his body is still that of a child. Births and deaths are familiar spectacles to him. He knows and holds of high import hundreds of things which men have forgotten. He can see in the dark. He can hide in a handful of shadow. And when he isn't overhearing on his own hook, he is listening to what somebody else has overheard.
It is hard for noble natures to think evil, to believe in ingratitude; only through rough experience do they learn the extent of human corruption; and even when there is nothing left them to learn in this kind, they rise to an indulgence which is the last degree of contempt. "Pooh! pure Paris street-boy's curiosity," cried David.
You can't penetrate to the dinner-party of a millionaire under the wing of a detective as you could to a carouse in Mulberry Street, or to his children's nursery with a philanthropist as you can to a street-boy's lodging-house." March laughed, and again the young man turned his head away. "Still, something can be done in that way by tact and patience."
