He did not however appear, and Julien withdrew.
Besancon is full of wicked people, she told me, Iam afraid for you, Sir. As a
special favour, he was giving Julien a room to himself.
Now I understand, she exclaimed joyfully, you have
come for thelaw school?
These poor youngvisionaries were almost always in
the infirmary.
Julien read:Amanda Binet, at the Giraffe cafe,

As he executed this greatmovement, his bundle fell
to the ground. The good woman would not allow him to leave until she had stuffed
hispockets with provisions. Thewaiter poured out Juliens coffee, without looking at
him. Without a word, theman in black made a sign to him to follow. From this moment,
Julien was reallyadmirable, he felt that he was master of himself.
Julien made an effort to walk and managed not to
fall.
