THE INVENTORY.
The house in which old Planus lived at Montrouge adjoined the one which the Chebes had occupied for some time.

There was the same ground floor with three windows, and a single floor above, the same garden with its latticework fence, the same borders of green box.

There the old cashier lived with his sister.

He took the first omnibus that left the office in the morning, returned at dinner-time, and on Sundays remained at home, tending his flowers and his poultry.
