Excerpt from Choses Vues, Vol. 2: Paris

Au bas de l'escalier d'honneur un invalide en redingote bleue boutonnée, avec moustache grise et une large croix d'honneur à la boutonnière, tenait lieu d'huissier. Un grand corridor blanchi à la chaux garni de banquettes et de paillassons était réservé aux gens des invités.
