I begged Madame Bernier who was accustomed to clean the room to look, and she found a pair of eye-glasses this pair, Monsieur President!" And Rouletabille drew the eye-glasses, of which we know, from his pocket. "When I saw these eye-glasses," he continued, "I was utterly nonplussed. I had never seen Larsan wear eye-glasses. What did they mean?
I learnt these facts from my examination of the footmarks in the court the next morning. Bernier, the concierge, whom I had stationed behind the donjon as he will explain himself could not see what passed in the court. He did not reach the court until he heard the revolver shots, and then he fired.
Evremont, and Chapelle, without reckoning many other good and gay spirits, refractories from the stiff solemnity which then weighed upon the entourage of Louis XIV. Bernier could not escape from the fashion of travelling.

Had they been on Bernier, instead, the spoil might have been a kangaroo, for it owned a special breed of that family. But to Bernier Island, the larder, Sir George returned, having completed a section of exploration. He had a dread lest the gale might have ravished his stores during his absence.
"Nobody could have been near the spot without my seeing him." When the examining magistrate reminded him that the spot where the body was found was very dark and that he himself had not been able to recognise the keeper before firing, Daddy Bernier replied that neither had they seen the other body; nor had they found it.
Scarcely had the cardinal stepped out of his carriage when he received a visit from Abbe Bernier, whom he at once employed to ask an audience for him. The same day, at the Tuileries, before the crowd of courtiers who were thronging to one of the grand receptions, Cardinal Consalvi was presented to the First Consul.
