Resting for a moment under the shelter of the little gateway of the prison belonging to the treasurer of the Sainte-Chapelle, he considered what lodging he should choose for the night, having all the pavements of Paris at his disposal. Suddenly he remembered having noticed in the preceding week, at the door of one of the parliamentary counsellors in the Rue de la Savaterie, a stone step, used for mounting on mule-back, and having remarked to himself that that stone might serve excellently well as a pillow to a beggar or a poet. He thanked Providence for having sent him this happy thought, and was just preparing to cross the Place du Palais and enter the tortuous labyrinth of the city, where those ancient sisters, the streets of la Baillerie, la Vielle-Draperie, la Savaterie, la Juiverie, etc., pursue their mazy windings, and are still standing to this day with their nine-storied houses, when he caught sight of the procession of the Pope of Fools, as it issued from the Palais and poured across his path with a great uproar, accompanied by shouts and glare of torches and Gringoire’s own band of music.

``Why? Is the house so cold?'' she asked, holding out her left hand to Archer in a way mysteriously suggesting that she expected him to kiss it.
``No; but the missus is,'' said Beaufort, nodding carelessly to the young man.
``But I thought her so kind. She came herself to invite me. Granny says I must certainly go.''
``Granny would, of course. And I say it's a shame you're going to miss the little oyster supper I'd planned for you at Delmonico's next Sunday, with Campanini and Scalchi and a lot of jolly people.''
She looked doubtfully from the banker to Archer.
``Ah -- that does tempt me! Except the other evening at Mrs. Struthers's I've not met a single artist since I've been here.''
``What kind of artists? I know one or two painters, very good fellows, that I could bring to see you if you'd allow me,'' said Archer boldly.
