He was very pale; his face seemed still more sinister-looking than the evening previous, and yet it will be seen he feigned a kind of noisy gayety during the following conversation. This scene took place the morning after his quarrel with his brother Martial. "Oh! here you are, good fellow!" said the lodging-house keeper, cordially. "Yes, Daddy Micou; I come to have some business with you."
"But are they all friends of the family, those who have no papers?" "No. Ah, now, speaking of that, my cousin sent me, a few days ago, a customer. May the devil burn me, if I can understand it! Come, another turn?" "Agreed; the liquor is good. Your health, Micou!" "Yours, lad! I say, then, that the other day my cousin sent me a customer whom I cannot make out.
The copper was then brought in from a little cart drawn by an enormous dog, and placed in the shop. "That barrow is a good idea," said Micou, adjusting the scales. "Yes; when I have anything to bring, I put my dog and cart into my boat, and I harness him when I land. A jarvey might blab: my dog can't."
"Stop! why do you speak so loftily, Micou?" said Nicholas, interrupting him, with a sardonic air. "Do you not despise me because I am in quod?"

This will nicely derange my business. I have luck this year." "Bah, bah! you are always complaining, old Micou; you are as rich as Croesus.
"Certainly; and shall be still, and shall be again, Daddy Micou, for this ham, cheese, eggs, and wine will only last the time to swallow them; but, when there is no more, there will come some more, thanks to Daddy Micou, who will give me some more sugar-plums, if I am a good boy."

Salome's battle had begun.
"M. Badinot wishes he would take this letter to its address; there is no answer, but it is very urgent." "In a quarter of an hour it shall be on the way." "Let him hurry." "Be easy." The maid retired. "That's the servant of one of your lodgers, Micou?" "Madame Saint Ildefonso's. But M. Badinot is her uncle; he came yesterday from the country, "answered Micou.
"But see, now, what fine acquaintances they have! I told you they were people of style; he writes to a viscount." "No!" "Well, look: 'To his Lordship the Viscount of Saint Remy, Rue de Chaillot.
