"I possess no stolen property. And if you refer to the diamond, it was given to me not an hour ago by Miss Vandeleur in the Rue Lepic." "By Miss Vandeleur of the Rue Lepic!" repeated the other. "You interest me more than you suppose. Pray continue." "Heavens!" cried Francis. His memory had made a sudden bound. He had seen Mr.
Our artist Jules Pelcoq, who lived in the Rue Lepic at Montmartre, found himself reduced to great straits in this respect, nothing being procurable at the dealers' excepting virtually green wood which had been felled a short time previously in the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes.
The young man hastily allayed his appetite in a neighbouring restaurant, and returned with the speed of unallayed curiosity to the house in the Rue Lepic. A mounted servant was leading a saddle-horse to and fro before the garden wall; and the porter of Francis's lodging was smoking a pipe against the door-post, absorbed in contemplation of the livery and the steeds.
She, like Blakeman, had seen much. She was, too, more self-contained in many things than the woman she served, although she had been bred in Montmartre and born in the Rue Lepic. "Did madame ring?" Annette asked, bending over her mistress. Alice roused herself lazily. "Yes my coffee and letters."
So saying, he turned to retrace his steps, thinking to double and descend by the Rue Lepic itself while his pursuer should continue to follow after him on the other line of street. The plan was ill-devised: as a matter of fact, he should have taken his seat in the nearest café, and waited there until the first heat of the pursuit was over.
But she ran after him, and catching hold of his arm, she said: "Only a franc; that is having it for nothing." Near here?" "In the Rue Lepic." "Why! So do I." "Then that is all right, eh? Come along, old fellow." He felt in his pockets and pulled out all the money he found there, which amounted to thirteen sous, and said: "That is all I have, upon my honor!" "All right," she said; "come along."

The proprietor himself offered me my hat, and a moment or two later M. de Firmin-Latour and I were out together in the Rue Lepic. "My dear Comte," he said as soon as he had recovered his breath, "how can I think you? . . ." "Not now, Monsieur, not now," I replied.
He was gloomy, and, glancing at the fifteen or twenty strangers who followed, he murmured: 'Ah! poor chap! What! are there only we two? Dubuche was at Cannes with his children. Jory and Fagerolles kept away, the former hating the deceased and the latter being too busy. Mahoudeau alone caught the party up at the rise of the Rue Lepic, and he explained that Gagniere must have missed the train.
Let me have then a few days in which to observe Maria, to obtain her confidence, to discover perhaps a sentiment in her heart of which she is ignorant; and remember that you have a sure and faithful ally in me." "Take your own time, dear Louise," replied the poet. "I leave everything to you. Whatever you do will be for the best." He thanked her and they parted at the foot of the Rue Lepic.
The back of the coachman grows drowsier, and would have rounded off into sleep long ago had it not been for the great paving stones that swing the vehicle from side to side, and we have to climb the Rue Lepic, and the poor little fainting animal will never be able to draw me to the Butte.
