Thus they made their way in good array down the Rue Saint-Antoine, which was densely crowded with men, women, and children. Coming presently to the Place Baudet, Brother Joconde pushed through the throng and mounted a great stone that stood at the door of the Hôtel de la Truie, which Messire Florimont Lecocq, the master of the house, used to help him mount his mule.
It may be morbid of me is it? but I have the strongest kind of a leaning toward the tales of Gaboriau; and I have always wanted to know a really great detective like Lecocq, or Dupin. And that day at Ascot when Mr. Narkom told me that he would introduce me to the famous 'Man of the Forty Faces'... Mr. Cleek, why do they call you 'the Man of the Forty Faces'? You always look the same to me."
I do not think he would care to be cross-examined before witnesses, you know." "Ah, then, good-bye; I shall find out from Mr. Brenton who John is." "I am sure I wish you luck," replied Speed, as Lecocq took his departure. Lecocq found Brenton and Ferris together.
But Brother Joconde made answer: "There be neither Armagnacs, nor Burgundians, nor French, nor English, but only the sons of light and the sons of darkness. Ye are lewd fellows and your women wantons." "Go to, thou apostate! thou sorcerer! thou traitor!" yelled Messire Florimont Lecocq, and lugging out his sword, he plunged it in the good Brother's bosom.

With help of Lecocq, Bishop of Laon, he called the Estates again together, and endeavoured to lay down sound principles of government, which Charles the Dauphin was compelled to accept.
Musical taste in America is in progress of formation. We have no national music: we have not even a decided preference for any style. We like Beethoven and Chopin, but we also like Rossini and Donizetti and delight in Lecocq and Sullivan. In no respect is the national pride so utterly forgotten as in music. We give to all schools a fair hearing.
If you had asked me if I had taken medicine before I went to bed, I should have told you frankly, 'Yes. I took one capsule of quinine. It has been my habit for years, when I feel badly. I thought nothing of that." "My dear sir," said Lecocq, "I warned you, and I warned these gentlemen, that the very things that seem trivial to a thoughtless person are the things that sometimes count.
