corner, was Monsieur Anton Brunot whom !
hadn't seen for five years. He was looking
more miserable than ever which, since his
habitual expression was that of man faced
with catastrophe. was quite an achievement.

went.
Badly. mos Gssi, he said. II am con-

Then what's the trouble? Why aren't you
eating?"
He told me. The war had wiped out the
investments from which he drew his income,
but because of his reputation as gourmet ne
had become an Inspector of restaurants for a
famous French guidebook. He had Travelled
all over France, eating well and free. and
deciding what rating restaurants should have
in the guidebook.
Bur then. and remembered that had
heard some rumor about it, he had slipped. He
had begun to take bribes and to tip of propri-
etors when he was coming so that they could
put on show and get a higher rating. And in
the end he was found out and sacked.

four awful months. 1t began to look as though

But, fortunately, an idea came to me in

again and have enough money for the modest
luxuries my nature demands"
For the last three years, he explained, he
had been travelling from one European capital
to another. living easily. And this was how
he did it: He would pick out some house or
fiat where married couple lived. He would
find out their names and then he would buy
couple of theater tickets, always best seats,
and mail them to these people with note
indicating that they were from the manage
ment, or just from an old friend
Now anyone who gets free theater tickets
may spend pleasant hour wondering why. or
who the anonymous friend is. But, in the
end. he will always use the tickets. There is
no one, said Anton, with the will to resist
something for nothing.

Sometimes if the mood was on me, would
go into the kitchen and cook myself meal.
But not often, mon asHi, for most kitchens :.
One look and my soul would shrink!
Anyway, long before the couple came back
from the theater. would be away. It was

And in London trouble had come to him.
He had been there three months and had
worked his trick three times quite smoothly.
Then he had picked out couple who lived in
