"It's somewhere in the Chaussee d'Antin; but I know neither the street nor the number." "Are you at variance with the Englishman?" "I love Zaccone, and he hates him; we are consequently not friends." "Do you think the Count of Monte Cristo had ever been in France before he made this visit to Paris?"
"Ah, Lady Jane lives at Paris so she does; Rue Chaussee d'Antin you know the House? Go immediately go yourself; don't trust to a messenger and beg Mr. Howard to return with you. I want to see him instantly." "Yes, my lord." The servant went. Lumley was in a mood in which solitude was intolerable.

You had better see that she receives the sacrament." So I hurried off to the end of the Chaussee d'Antin, and went on beyond the Barriere to find Heina, knowing that he was at a concert in the house of some count. He said that he would bring a German priest with him next morning. On my way back I looked in on Madame d'Epinay and M. Grimm for a moment as I passed.

He left on his right the two narrow passages which branch out in the form of a claw under the Rue Laffitte and the Rue Saint-Georges and the long, bifurcated corridor of the Chaussee d'Antin. A little beyond an affluent, which was, probably, the Madeleine branch, he halted. He was extremely weary.
Here, according to Niecks, is the itinerary of Chopin's life for the next eighteen years: In Paris, 27 Boulevard Poisonniere, to 5 and 38 Chaussee d'Antin, to Aix-la-Chapelle, Carlsbad, Leipzig, Heidelberg, Marienbad, and London, to Majorca, to 5 Rue Tronchet, 16 Rue Pigalle, and 9 Square d'Orleans, to England and Scotland, to 9 Square d'Orleans once more, Rue Chaillot and 12 Place Vendeme, and then Pere la Chaise, the last resting-place.
