In addition to branches called "filial banks" throughout Belgium, it also controls the powerful "Banque pour l'Etranger," which is established in London, Paris, New York, Cairo, and the Far East. One distinctive feature of the Société Generale is its close alliance with the Government.
This merest idea is suggested by something which happened when The Clever Man instituted a search for his missing knife but I must introduce The Clever Man to my reader before describing that rather beguiling incident. He wins enough every night at banque to enable him to pay the less fortunate to perform his corvee d'eau for him.
