The Cobbler of Nimes CHAPTER I THE BODY OF A DAMNED PERSON IT was the month of June, 1703, and about noontide on the last day of the week. The fair in the market-place at Nfmes was therefore at its height. A juggler was swallowing a sword in the midst of an admiring circle. Mademoiselle Ho fse, the danseuse, was walking the tight-rope near at hand, and the pick-pockets were plying their trade profitably on the outskirts of the throng. There was a dancing bear, and beyond him a rival attraction a monkey in scarlet breeches, with a blouse or camisole over them.
