At that moment Bernard Jansoulet was passing through the iron gateway of the Corps Législatif, his mother on his arm; but, painful as was the drama that was being enacted there, this one far surpassed it in that respect, being more sudden, more unforeseen, devoid of the slightest solemnity, one of the private domestic dramas which Paris improvises every hour in the day; and it may be that that gives to the air we breathe in Paris that vibrating, quivering quality which excites the nerves.
Not once in a lifetime are we thrown entirely on our own resources. Then we improvise bunglingly a makeshift. The Woods Indian possesses his knife and his light axe.

No matter what the exigency or how complicated the demand, his experience answers with accuracy.
This kind of pastime is as old as the human race, and you find the man who undertakes to reveal to you the secrets of the future among all peoples.
