Victor Hugo Quote
Well, said he, what are you thinking of? I am thinking, said I, that I shall be past thinking, this evening. Oh, that’s it, returned he. Come, come, you are too sad. Mr. Castaing conversed on the day of his execution. Then, after a pause, he continued: I accompanied Mr. Papavoine on his last day. He wore his otter-skin cap, and smoked his cigar. As for the young men of La Rochelle, they only spoke among themselves, but still they spoke. As for you, I really think you are too pensive, young man. Young man? I repeated. I am older than you; every quarter of an hour which passes makes me a year older. He turned round, looked at me some minutes with stupid astonishment, and then began to titter. Come, you are joking; older than I am? why, I might be your grandfather.
