>> Brie Carlisle: Brand values today we'll be

Speaker:

continuing les miserable by Victor

Speaker:

Hugo. Chapter

Speaker:

seven receive

Speaker:

no one except in the evening.

Speaker:

Such was Monsieur Lucas spirit

Speaker:

Gillenormand, who had not lost his hair,

Speaker:

which was grey rather than white, and which was always

Speaker:

dressed in dogs ears. To sum up, he

Speaker:

was venerable. In spite of all this, he had

Speaker:

something of the 18th century about him,

Speaker:

frivolous and great. In

Speaker:

1814 and during the early years of the restoration,

Speaker:

M. De la Normand, who was still young,

Speaker:

he was only 74, lived in the Faubourg St.

Speaker:

Germain, rue Savandoni, near St.

Speaker:

Sulpice. He had only retired to the Marais when

Speaker:

he quitted society, long after attaining the

Speaker:

age of 80, and on abandoning society,

Speaker:

he had immured himself in his habits. The

Speaker:

principal one, and that which was invariable,

Speaker:

was to keep his door absolutely closed during the

Speaker:

day and never to receive anyone whatever, except

Speaker:

in the evening. He dined at

:

00 and after that his door was

:

open. That had been the fashion of his

:

century, and he would not swerve from

:

it. The day is vulgar, said he. and

:

deserves only a close shudder. Fashionable

:

people only light up their minds when the zenith lights up its

:

stars. And he barricaded himself against

:

everyone, even had it been the king

:

himself, this was the antiquated

:

elegance of his day.

:
