  1 1  |            of October 1829 a young man entered the Palais-Royal
  2 1  |           called out. A little old man, crouching in the darkness

  9 1  |       Place de Greve. A tall, thin man, in a threadbare coat, held

 12 1  |         torpid hearts as the young man entered. Were not executioners

 14 1  |     closely they watched the young man, they could discover not

 16 1  |           to go against that young man's despair." ~"He is a new
 17 1  |           more chance." ~The young man went out without asking

 36 1  |       known world before the young man's mind wrought in his soul
