Excerpt from The Crowds and the Veiled Woman

Then Monsieur had entered his life. He came to him as a mysterious stranger from the great world beyond; an emissary from his unknown father, an artist dying in Paris - who had sent him, his best friend, to seek out his little son and bring him back to him. When they arrived, it was to find that he had died. Gaspard distinctly recalled the moment of this communication. The concierge told them, as they stood in the doorway, the boy clinging to Monsieur's hand and so amazed at the stupendous change in his life that he would have been equally affected to find his father alive or dead. He burst into tears. And then, he looked up into Monsieur's face, and what he read there made him smile through his tears, and grow warm all 'over in the consciousness that he had found the best that fate could yield to him - Monsieur, his supreme and only friend.
