He came back to this quarter of the world, to the Rue des Gres, and went into a money-lender's house; everybody knows him, Gobseck, a stuck-up rascal, that would make dominoes out of his father's bones, a Turk, a heathen, an old Jew, a Greek; it would be a difficult matter to rob him, for he puts all his coin into the Bank." "Then what was Father Goriot doing there?" "Doing?" said Vautrin.
The only solid part, or original stratum, which M. de Bournon has described as having seen in this plain, is a decomposing grès or sandstone; but there is reason to suppose, that there had been both calcareous and argillaceous or marly strata filling the hollow of that space which is inclosed by the granite mountains; consequently, no difficulty in conceiving that the river, which must wear away a passage through those mountains, should also hollow out the softer materials within, and thus form the plain, or rather a succession of plains, in proportion as the level of the water had been lowered with the wearing mountains.
The assemblies of the Friends of the A B C were usually held in a back room of the Cafe Musain.

Since she had ceased to wander about the country, she followed the pilgrimages in Paris in honour of the Blessed Virgin, and she had a list of the most popular sanctuaries: Notre-Dame des Victoires, Notre-Dame de Paris; Our Lady of Good Hope at Saint-Séverin, of Ever-present Help at L'Abbaye au Bois, of Peace at the convent in the Rue Picpus, of the Sick at the church of Saint-Laurent, of Happy Deliverance a black Virgin from the church of Saint-Etienne des Grès in the care of the Sisters of Saint-Thomas de Villeneuve, Rue de Sèvres; and outside Paris the shrines in the suburbs: Our Lady of Miracles at Saint-Maur, of the Angels at Bondy, of the Virtues at Aubervilliers, of Good Keeping at Long Pont, and those of Notre-Dame at Spire, at Pontoise, &c.

Beneath the Gres de Fontainebleau, belonging to the Lower Miocene period, as before stated, we find, in the neighbourhood of Paris, a series of white and green marls, with subordinate beds of gypsum.
Such a street was the Rue des Cordiers, close adjoining the Rue des Grès, where Rousseau lived and wrote; and the Rue du Dragon, where might then be seen the house of Bernard Palissy; and the Rue des Maçons, where Racine lived; and the Rue des Marais, where Adrienne Lecouvreur poor, beautiful, generous, ill-fated Adrienne Lecouvreur! died.
