 25 VI   |      stamp, of which one could just distinguish the word—Beaumarchais.~
 26 VI   |       observation was only too just and fair; and the commissary

 66 XV   |      position I have assumed.”~Just as he reached the boulevard,
 67 XV   |       Why, did you not tell me just now that Polyte had some
 68 XVI  |   slowness of the minute hand. Just after nine o’clock, Goguet,

 74 XVI  |        added: “Well I was only just now telling Inspector Gevrol
 75 XVII |         the smiling clerk, had just finished drawing up at least
 76 XVII |   least a dozen times an hour, just as a snuff-taker continually

 83 XVIII|     excellent spirits, and was just completing what was, undoubtedly,
 84 XIX  |        that.”~The governor had just advanced the only serious
 85 XIX  |       ten francs in his pocket just then he would have risked

 92 XX   |     sergeant de ville, who was just coming out of the Palais
 93 XX   |       prison from which he had just escaped? Or was he of opinion

 95 XX   |    until that man came in here just now, and after asking me
 96 XX   |     with the incident that had just occurred. What a terrible
 97 XX   |      in pursuit of you again.”~Just then an empty cab chanced
 98 XX   |  willing to say or do anything just then. Lecoq profited by
 99 XXI  |     out at the other door, and just as the driver was departing
100 XXI  | Absinthe made no response, for just then the two men came out
101 XXI  |        up. The guests are only just leaving, for there were
102 XXI  |        troubled by what he had just heard. It now seemed to

108 XXII |       recognized me last night just as I recognized him.”~After
109 XXII | mentioned the name you uttered just now, a name ending in ‘euse.’”~
110 XXII |          A strange thought had just flitted through Lecoq’s
111 XXII |  offices of the Mont de Piete, just managing to exist upon the
112 XXIII|   Tabaret.”~“Ah, ah!”~“We have just been as completely outwitted
