But in spite of her pretensions, I only saw in her the rival of Gourdan and Paris, and treated her as such; that is, with some contempt, for with that feeling her office inspired me. She told me all I have described to you, and many other things which have since escaped me. At that time there were only four eleves in the house.
Gourdan had a hat made for her, and, as a reward, initiated her into the customs. But she was called to other destinies. One day, when she was walking in the Tuileries, a lunatic and lunatics have second sight asked her favor when she should become queen. Du Barry said to herself: "This man is mad."
The cave-man of Gourdan was decked with shells from the Mediterranean, and the man of Mentone in his turn wore a head-dress made of Atlantic shells.
M. Piette estimates the number of reindeer whose bones he has picked up in the Gourdan Cave as over. 3,000, and the number of cervidae found at Hohlefels is positively incalculable.

This man, who was dune young, the sutures being still very apparent, survived this serious wound for some time. The Gourdan Cave has yielded crania and jaws broken by blunt weapons, whilst on other crania have been made out scratches and stripes which could only have been produced after the hair and skin had been removed.
Lartet had already brought to light a bone implement covered with ornaments in relief which he ascribed to the Palaeolithic period, and which he imagined had been used for extracting marrow; and another archaeologist tells of objects in reindeer antler found in the Gourdan Cave, which he thinks were used for a similar purpose.
