His business during the day does NOT

and the lights were lit, the cafes

at a kiosk and bought a newspaper.
then, approaching the front of one of
the great cafes, found a vacant seat at
a table, ordered some coffee, and SAT
down in the open air watching the

He was sitting thus when his atten-

drive to the theater du Chatelet
Alighting at the door, Caussidier
