Rue Mazarin to the quay. Among
them was kind-hearted Freydet, who, as he wiped his eyes, thought in his
heart, and was ashamed to think it, that here was another vacancy. Old
Jean Rehu was just coming downstairs for his daily constitutional.

He had heard nothing, seemed surprised to see the crowd beneath him as
he stood on one of the lower steps, and came nearer to look, in spite
of the scared gestures of those who tried to keep him back. Did he
understand? Did he recognise the corpse? His face remained calm, so did
his eyes, as expressionless as those of the bust of Minerva under her
helmet of bronze. And after a long look, as they turned the striped
canvas down over the poor dead face, he went on, upright and proud, with
his tall shadow stalking beside him, a 'deity' deathless indeed, while a
half-mad senile shake of the head seemed to say: 'That's another of the
things I have seen.'
