"La petite Josephine Delatour," said the young man who lived at Bel-Abbés. He was evidently answering some question which Max had not caught.
Jacques was very, very sure that he was right about it; he had read it all in a newspaper; he had walked miles and miles to hear men talk of nothing else. Claire René asked where the great man lived. "In Paris, ma petite." "And what does he look like the brave one?" "He is grave and quiet, like a king." "And has he on his head the crown of gold?"

He did not talk to me... but morning and evening, after flicking the snuff from his jabot with two fingers, he would with the same two fingers always icy cold pat me on the cheek and give me some sort of dark-coloured sweetmeats, also smelling of ambre, which I never ate.
