Excerpt from Les Parisiens Chez Eux

Additionnez tous les concierges de Paris, faites le total des étages dont ils nous épargnent chaque jour l'ascension et la descente, et dites-moi si l'on ne peut pas raisonnablement affirmer que sans les concierges qui sont dans l'escalier, la race parisienne serait dès longtemps tombée dans la dégénérescence finale, par suite de trop grandes dépenses de forces ascension nelles.
