"You must be often hungry enough, my poor boy. Do the mice feed you?" Savoyard puts his head on one side, shakes it, and strokes his mice. Pisistratus."You are very fond of the mice; they are your only friends, I fear." Savoyard evidently understanding Pisistratus, rubs his face gently against the mice, then puts them softly down on a grave, and gives a turn to the hurdy-gurdy.
"Pour moi, monsieur, je suis Savoyard. Monsieur qui vous parle, c'est mon compagnon de négoce." The courier gazed with blank, heavy eyes at O'Toole. He had the appearance of a man fuddled with drink. He heaved a sigh or two. "Will you repeat that," he said at length, "and slowly?" O'Toole repeated his remark, and the courier nodded at him.
You are silent! Montesinos. Some shocking examples occurred to me. The one of a poor Savoyard boy with his monkey starved to death in St. James's Park. The other, which is, if that be possible, a still more disgraceful case, is recorded incidentally in Rees's Cyclopaedia under the word "monster." It is only in a huge overgrown city that such cases could possibly occur. Sir Thomas More.
"But," resumed the dowager, "you are wearing mourning for him." He replied, "It is because I was a servant in his family in my youth."

The prisoners entering their sleeping apartments at four o'clock, the crime was to be consummated before that hour. "Thousand thunders! the keeper does not go," whispered the Skeleton to the Big Cripple.
As soon as night comes on, you shall order fifteen or twenty men, under the command of your sergeant La Place, to be under arms, and to lay themselves flat on the ground, between this place and the head-quarters." "What the devil!" cried Matta, "an ambuscade? God forgive me, I believe you intend to rob the poor Savoyard.
The mystery was dissolved when I again appeared at the front gate and stood in the shadow of the moonbeams. Linda declared she would not be content until the poor Savoyard was got into the house, averring that as she had never before heard such exquisite playing, she was anxious to ask the woman some questions concerning her history.
It was when Fantine lay dying in the hospital that Javert, who had quite decided in his own mind who M. Madeleine was, came to the mayor and asked to be dismissed from the service. "I have denounced you, M. le Maire, to the prefect of police at Paris as Jean Valjean, an ex-convict, who has been wanted for the robbery of a little Savoyard more than five years ago."
A little chimney sweeper, with puffed cheeks, all black with soot, and clad in tatters, held out his hand to beg for the man's last pence. Two paces from the little Savoyard stood an old pauvre honteux, sickly and feeble, in wretched garments of ragged druggeting, who asked in a thick, muffled voice: "Anything you like to give, monsieur; I will pray to God for you..."

"You have been at Caprera?" said Mirandola. "I have been at Caprera." "And what did he say?" "He will do nothing without the sanction of the Savoyard."
