Excerpt from My Fighting Life
Outside my home in Paris many thousands of my countrymen shouted and roared and screamed; women tossed nosegays and blew kisses up to my windows.
"Vive Carpentier!" came from a mighty chorus of voices. Paris was still in an ecstasy of enthusiasm; my contest against Joe Beckett, so swift, sensational, dramatic, incredible, remained the wonder of the moment, and as I looked from my window on to the street below I shook and shivered.
My father, a man of Northern France - hard, stern, unemotional - clutched the hand of my mother, whose eyes were streaming wet. Albert, also my two other brothers and sister made a strange group. They were transfixed. Francois Descamps was pale; his ferret-like eyes blinked meaninglessly.
