The numbers above mentioned make only three hundred and eighty-three, so that there is an error somewhere. Trois quarts: it is not said of what measure; probably a pint. The original is n'ayant pas le pié marin, not having a sailors foot. Our Lady of Laux is in the Department of the Upper Alps, not far from Gap.
"Ah!" cried Lemercier, suddenly, "here comes a man you should know, 'mon cher. He will tell you how to place your money, a rising man, a coming man, a future minister. Ah! 'bon jour, Duplessis, 'bon jour," kissing his hand to a gentleman who had just entered and was looking about him for a seat. He was evidently well and favourably known at the Trois Freres.
"But let us make play here to-night. Let Pembroke bank. His luck is best to win this vaunter's stake." Pembroke dealt the cards about for the first round. The queen fell. John Law won. "Deux," he said calmly, and turned away as though it were a matter of course. The cards went round again. "Trois," he said, as he glanced at his stakes, now doubled again. Wilson murmured.
In the course of time, and well within the bright twilight, Amedee spread the crisp white cloth and served me at a table on my pavilion porch. That accomplished, however, and the water bubbling in the coffee machine, he readily favoured me with a discourse on the decline in glory of Les Trois Pigeons. "Monsieur, it is the automobiles; they have done it.
The messenger left the Pain Paint on the door-step of the tailor-shop, and the two dollars he promptly spent at the Trois Couronnes.

Going home through the streets, she passed the café of the Trois Frères that looks out on the trees of the park, and that has flowers in its balconies, and pleasant windows that stand open to let the sounds of the soldiers' music enter. She saw him in one of the windows. There were amber and scarlet and black; silks and satins and velvets. There was a fan painted and jewelled.
The confession has been made of my curiosity concerning my fellow- lodgers at Les Trois Pigeons; however, it had been comparatively a torpid growth; my meeting with them served to enlarge it so suddenly and to such proportions that I wonder it did not strangle me.
