They were just rising from the table when they heard a great noise in the street. Then there was a knock at the door. Before Mrs. Jacquot could open it, some one called out, "Is this the house of Jacquot, the charcoal man?" "That is my tutor," whispered the little stranger. "He has come after me." Then he slipped quickly under the table and hid himself. "Don't tell him I am here," he said softly.
Lolotte! Shiver, Sanglote, Sob, Jacquot!" Jacquot!" She had hardly finished this couplet, when she exclaimed: "Do you ever go to the play, Monsieur Marius? I do. I have a little brother who is a friend of the artists, and who gives me tickets sometimes. But I don't like the benches in the galleries. One is cramped and uncomfortable there.
I gave her your thirty francs' remittance and said that you had sent it her; and the poor woman remembers you day and night in her prayers.

Then he said, "Your house is a very poor place, I think." "I am sorry if you do not like it," said Jacquot. "But if I had not helped you, you would have been in a worse place."
"All in an instant her back took the shape of a bent bow, and with a vigorous and elastic bound she sprang upon the perch. The parrot, seeing its danger, said in a bass voice as grave and deep as M. Prudhomme's own, 'As tu dejeune, Jacquot? "This utterance so terrified the cat that she sprang backwards.
