Theoretically, he knew life in all its harder aspects, and it called for no vivid imagination to trace the descent of the fresh grisette of the Quartier Latin to the creature who sought her meals in the Café des Cerises-jumelles, yet hers was the accepted compassion. "Madame!" he said, suddenly. "Madame, tell me! You knew him once?"
The Figeacois, who at first looked upon Becket as an enemy, after he was murdered at Canterbury, and when the fame of his saintliness began to spread through France, dedicated a church to him. This edifice has disappeared; but the part of the town where it was situated, or where, to speak more correctly, it was afterwards rebuilt, is still called the Quartier St. Thomas.
That year half the Quartier was being demolished. All one side of the Rue des Poissonniers lay flat on the ground. Lantier and Poisson disputed day after day on these demolitions. The one declared that the emperor wanted to build palaces and drive the lower classes out of Paris, while Poisson, white with rage, said the emperor would pull down the whole of Paris merely to give work to the people.

The governor having shown him everything the yards, the workshops, and the underground cells pointed to a part of the building, and said, "I need not take your Lordship there; it is the quartier des tantes." "Oh," said Lord Durham, "what are they!" "The third sex, my Lord." "And they are going to scrag Theodore!" said la Pouraille, "such a pretty boy! And such a light hand! such cheek!

When we had time to look round, we saw that the severe ordeal through which we had passed had admitted us into the company of a few youths in the high stocks and long hair of the Quartier Latin, a petit piou-piou or so, two or three stray workmen, women whom perhaps it would be more discreet not to attempt to classify, all seated at little tables and harmlessly occupied in drinking beer and smoking cigarettes.
Then I got into the Quartier Latin set with Gigue, who picked me up because he heard me singing in the street, and altogether my experiences of life haven't been toys and bonbons. I know I THINK 'old' and I'm sure I feel old!" "Not when you play or sing," suggested Maryllia. "No not then never then!
It recalled to Feilding some of his earlier days, when he was a student in Paris. There had been a supper in Max's room that ended at daylight no worse in its features than dozens of others in the Quartier to which an intimate friend of the doctor's had been invited, and upon which, as Max heard afterward, the doctor had commented rather severely.
