Excerpt from Modest Mignon AT the beginning of October, 1829, Monsieur. Simon Babylas Latournelle, notary, was walking up from Havre to Ingouville, arm in arm with his son and ao companied by his wife, at whose side the head clerk of the lawyer's office, a little hunchback named Jean But Soha, trotted along like a page. When these four per sonages (two of whom came the same way every evening) reached the elbow of the road where it turns back upon itself like those called in Italy cornice, the notary looked about to see if any one could overhear him either from the terrace above or the path beneath, and when he spoke he lowered his voice as a further precaution.
