Down and Out in Paris and London

Description

here were unusual characters in the lodging. The Paris ghettos are a social affair place for capricious individuals—individuals who have fallen into singular, half-distraught scores of life and quit any pretense of attempting to be typical or better than average. Neediness liberates them from customary guidelines of conduct, similarly as cash liberates individuals from work. A portion of the tenants in our lodging carried on with carries on with that were interested stunning.

There were the Rougiers, for example, an old, battered, shrunken couple who utilized an uncommon exchange. They used to sell postcards on the Boulevard St Michel. The inquisitive thing was that the postcards were sold in fixed bundles as explicit ones, however were really photos of chateaux on the Loire; the purchasers didn’t find this till past the point of no return, and obviously never grumbled. The Rougiers earned around a hundred francs every week, and by severe economy figured out how to be in every case half starved and half alcoholic. The rottenness of their room was with the end goal that one could smell it on the floor underneath. As indicated by Madame F., neither of the Rougiers had removed their garments for a long time.
