Présentation de l'éditeur

The piercing notes of the porcelain-mender spipe shrilled out from down the street, and Ruggles stretched, yawned, and ran his fingers through his mop of yellow hair, with the disagreeable duty sense of a sleepy soldier on hearing the first echoes of the reveille. The vendor of water-cress had passed twenty minutes before, and his melodious howl, which said so many different things to different ears along the narrow, tortuous street had drowsily prepared Ruggles for his own particular summons. No need for alarm clocks in Paris! On working days, the chair-mender announced the dreary fact that it was time to rise and shine; on Sundays Ruggles usually waited for the cress-seller; but on holidays for the spending of which he had made no especial plans he was wont to repose himself up to the advent of the porcelain-man and his pipe. Now, as he sat up in bed and observed the square patch of vivid blue sky through his wide-opened mansard window, he was inclined to regret his sloth. It was a f Ste-day, and the weather perfect, so far as he could see for the impeding roofs.
