The Grey Wig: Stories and Novelettes

They both styled themselves "Madame," but only the younger of the old ladies had been married. Madame Valire was still a demoiselle, but as she drew towards sixty it had seemed more convenable to possess a mature label. Certainly Madame Dpine had no visible matrimonial advantages over her fellow-lodger at the Htel des Tourterelles, though in the symmetrical cemetery of Montparnasse (Section 22) wreaths of glass beads testified to a copious domesticity in the far past, and a newspaper picture of a chasseur d'Afrique pinned over her bed recalledthough only the uniform was the dead soldier'sthe son she had contributed to France's colonial empire.

Her house being a profitable warren of American art-students, tempered by native journalists and decadent poets, she could, moreover, afford to let the old ladies off coffee and candles. They were at liberty to prepare their own djeuner in winter or to buy it outside in summer; they could burn their own candles or sit in the dark, as the heart in them pleased; and thus they were as cheaply niched as any one in the gay city. Rentires after their meticulous fashion, they drew a ridiculous but regular amount from the mysterious coffers of the Crdit Lyonnais. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
