Excerpt from The Gentleman in Black: And Tales of Other Days "What the devil shall I do?" exclaimed Louis Desonges: "not a sous have I in the world besides that solitary five-franc piece! and, where the next is to come from, I cannot divine. What the devil must I do?" "Did you call, Monsieur?" asked a gentle voice, which seemed to proceed from the more dusky corner of the apartment, in which Louis was sitting in his old arm-chair, before a worm-eaten table covered with books and papers. "Who, in the name of fate, are you?" responded the unhappy youth, looking round in search of the individual from whom the inquiry had proceeded. "Precisely so, replied a stout, short, middle-aged gentleman, of a somewhat saturnine complexion, as he advanced from - we can't say exactly where - into the middle of the room. He was clad in black, according to the fashion of the day; had a loose Geneva cloak, as an upper garment, of the same colour; and carried a large bundle of black-edged papers, tied with black tape, under his arm. Without the smallest ceremony, he placed a chair opposite our hero, bowed, seated himself, smiled, laid his papers on the table, rubbed his hands, and appeared altogether prepared for business. Louis felt somewhat, embarrassed, but returned the stranger's bow with all due civility; and, after a brief, awkward pause, ventured to inquire the name of the gentleman whom he had the honour of addressing.
