 he presently entered a house, and asking a friend 

 of mine, who happened to pass at the instant, 

 why he and others had so rushed out of his way, 

 he exclaimed in a voice of horror, 



" Grand Dieu ! Have you been fishing and 

 walking home with that man ? he is the public 

 executioner."
