Chapter XXVII
WHAT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN THE HAIRDRESSER AND THE INVALID. We had for neighbor, in the Rue St. Honoré, two doors lower down than our own, a hair-dresser, named Léger. This hair-dresser, like all his _confrères_, was a staunch Royalist. No doubt the reader would ask the reason why hair-dressers were all Royalists. That is easily explained.
