Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mlle; Fouchette "She´s a tough one," muttered a witness. "She´s got to be mighty tough to stand the Podvin," responded another. In the rapidly increasing distance the child seemed to justify these remarks; for she began to step out nimbly towards the town of Charenton without wasting time over her grievances. "All the same, I´m hungry," she said to herself, "and the streets of Charenton will be mighty poor picking half an hour hence." She paused presently to examine a pile of garbage in front of a house. But the dogs had been there be fore her, - there was nothing to eat there. These piles of garbage awaited the tour of the carts; they began to appear at an early hour in the morning, and within an hour had been picked over by rag pickers, dogs, and vagrants until absolutely nothing was left that could be by any possibility utilized by these early investigators. Here and there two or three dogs contested the spoils of a promising pile, to separate with watchful amity to gnaw individual bones. As it was a principal highway from the Porte de Charenton to the town, the piles of refuse had been pretty thoroughly overhauled by the dogs and human scum that infested the barrier. Finally, the girl stopped as a stout woman appeared at a grille with a paper of kitchen refuse which she was about to throw into the street. They looked at each other steadily, - the child with eager, hungry eyes; the woman with resentment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
