Excerpt from In and Out of Three Normandy Inns
In point of fact, there were no other sounds to drown. All other business along the quays was being temporarily suspended; the most thrilling event of the day was centring in us and our treaty. Until this bargain was closed, other matters could wait. For a Frenchman has the true instinct of the dramatist; business he rightly considers as only an entr'acte in life; the serious thing is the scene dc theatre, wherever it takes place. Therefore it was that the black, shaky-looking houses, lean ing over the quays, were now populous with frowsy heads and cotton nightcaps. The captains from the adjacent sloops and tug-boats formed an outer circle about the closer ring made by the competi tors for our favors, while the loungers along the parapets, and the owners of top seats on the shin ing quay steps, may be said to have been in posses sion of orchestra stalls from the first rising of the curtain.
