"Better call at the house of the Miserecordia; the brethren will fetch his body." "What!" I cried; "you will nor try if you can save him?" The Frenchman bowed with satirical suavity. "Monsieur must pardon me! My own health would be seriously endangered by touching a cholera corpse. Allow me to wish monsieur the good-day!" And he disappeared, shutting his door in my face.
