It is a system of streets reached by an extension of that avenue which is flanked by the workmen's barracks and climbs to the level of the factory.

Such is the way which it has been my custom to climb in the morning and to descend when the light is done, during the six years of my clerkship with Messrs.

Gozlan & Co.

In this quarter I am still rooted.

Some day I should like to live yonder; but between the two halves of the town there is a division--a sort of frontier, which has always been and will always be.
In the Rue Verte I meet only a street lamp, and then a mouse-like little girl who emerges from the shadows and enters them again without seeing me, so intent is she on pressing to her heart, like a doll, the big loaf they have sent her to buy.
