The tilted carts at which he worked in Vian's shop, those carts which he had lovingly cherished, now seemed unworthy of his affections. He began to attend the local drawing-school, where he formed a connection with a youngster who had left college, and who lent him an old treatise on geometry.
Then, turning to Hugh, he told him that he had better remain his guest that night, and in the morning he would buy him another suit, hat and coat. "There will not be so much risk in Nice as here in Paris," he added. "After all, we ought not to have ventured out to Vian's."
"Huh!" grunted Sophy Gold. "I suppose I could save myself a lot of trouble by saying that I feel it; but I don't. I simply don't react to this town. The only things I really like in Paris are the Tomb of Napoleon, the Seine at night, and the strawberry tart you get at Vian's. Of course the parks and boulevards are a marvel, but you can't expect me to love a town for that.
"He is anxious to see you again." "Tres bien, m'sieur," answered the smart Parisienne. "I will be there. But will you not dine with me eh? At Vian's at seven. You know the place." "Mademoiselle Lisette asks us to dine with her at Vian's," The Sparrow said, turning to Hugh. "Yes, I shall be delighted," replied the young man. So The Sparrow accepted the girl's invitation.
Unluckily, as we learn from M. Vian's life of the philosopher, his successors have been very chary of publishing details of his private existence. It is, of course, conceivable that Helvetius, who told Hume that his house had sheltered Charles, is the philosophe mentioned by Mademoiselle Luci and Madame de Vasse.
Mademoiselle Lisette met her two guests at Vian's small but exclusive restaurant in the Rue Daunou, and all three had a merry meal together. Afterwards The Sparrow smoked a good cigar and became amused at the young girl's chatter. She was a sprightly little person, and had effectively brought off several highly successful coups.
