At this point Friquet, her old Pomeranian favourite, crept down from his cushion and approached us. "He doesn't bark any more, so you know he must be getting old," smiled Aunt Rose, caressing her pet. "My poor Victoire is getting on, too, I fear. Her nephew is stone blind since the battle of the Marne.
TREE SPARROW. Passer montanus, Linnaeus. French, "Friquet." The Tree Sparrow breeds, and is probably resident in the Islands. Up to this year, 1878, I have only seen it once myself, and that was on the 7th of June, 1876, just outside the grounds of the Vallon in Guernsey.

He saw D'Artagnan's movement, heard the sound of the click, and stopped at once. "Ah! it is you, your honor," he said, advancing toward D'Artagnan; "and I am truly pleased to meet you." D'Artagnan looked attentively at Friquet and recognized the little chorister of the Rue de la Calandre. "Ah!
"So that he told me, that poor Monsieur Maillard, 'Go find the coadjutor, Friquet, and if you bring him to me you shall be my heir. Say, then, Father Bazin the heir of Monsieur Maillard, the giver of holy water at Saint Eustache! Hey! I shall have nothing to do but to fold my arms!

A moment later Friquet went out, carrying in his hand a large leather bag; he opened it as soon as he was outside the chamber and to his great astonishment found it full of gold. The mendicant had kept his word and made Friquet his heir. "Ah! Mother Nanette!" cried Friquet, suffocating; "ah! Mother Nanette!"
"No, don't be alarmed; but where did you get all these details?" "From a good source, sir; I heard it from Friquet." "From Friquet? I know that name " "A son of Monsieur de Broussel's servant, and a lad that, I promise you, in a revolt will not give away his share to the dogs." "Is he not a singing boy at Notre Dame?" asked D'Artagnan. "Yes, that is the very boy; he's patronized by Bazin."
At home, I learned that my grandmother had arranged to take Baburin; he had been assigned a small room in the servants' quarters, overlooking the stable-yard. He had at once settled in there with his friend. When I had drunk my tea, next morning, without asking leave of Mademoiselle Friquet, I set off to the servants' quarters.
This amusement lasted from the Barriere des Sergens to the place of Notre Dame, and Friquet found in it very real enjoyment; but when at last the regiment separated, penetrated the heart of the city and placed itself at the extremity of the Rue Saint Christophe, near the Rue Cocatrix, in which Broussel lived, then Friquet remembered that he had not had breakfast; and after thinking in which direction he had better turn his steps in order to accomplish this important act of the day, he reflected deeply and decided that Councillor Broussel should bear the cost of this repast.
