Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cobbler of Nimes
Madame went in, licking her lips like a wolf. The curtain Of the tent swung to behind her. A peasant lad followed her, hesitating too over the half-crown, but then the spectacle was worth. Money. A soldier followed, then a butcher, and two stupid-looking servant-girls, with fright ened faces, but still eager to see. Then there was a pause, and the showman began to Shout once more; he had need to, for the bear was performing with unusual vivacity, and the danseuse displayed her pretty legs as She tripped on the rope.
