All day it rained, but at seven a myriad of stars were in the sky.

"Oh! We are a queer lot; a very queer lot. Sweepings of Europe," said Claude de Chanrellon, dashing some vermouth off his golden mustaches, where he lay full-length on three chairs outside the Cafe in the Place du Gouvernement, where the lamps were just lit, and shining through the burnished moonlight of an Algerian evening, and the many-colored, many-raced, picturesque, and polyglot population of the town were all fluttering out with the sunset, like so many gay-colored moths.
So that all the people might know who you were and not say awful things about the 'infecte gouvernement' and the Republic, 'which no gentleman could serve."

"'Le gouvernement francais, Monsieur, extends to you, through me, its profound apology for the insult which your honour has received. Ils sont des cochons, les francais," said Jean, and laughed throughout his entire body.
That very evening, after a cup of tea, he presented himself at the office of Rook near the Place du Gouvernement. As he came in he felt a little nervous. There were no tourists in the office, and a courteous clerk with a bright and searching eye at once took him in hand. "What can we do for you, sir?" "I am a stranger here," began Mr. Greyne. "Quite so, sir, quite so."
