Miserable world

(It goes without saying that the Rue Neuve-Sainte-Geneviève is an old street, and that the Rue d'Poste is not visited by a mail-coach in every decade.). Post Street was the residence of potters in the 13th century. Its real name was Crock Street. The moonlight was brightening the crossroads. Jean Valjean hid himself in a doorway, thinking that if the men had followed him, they would have passed through the moonlight, and he would not have lost sight of them. Sure enough, in less than three minutes, the men appeared again. There were four of them now, tall men in long brown coats and round-brimmed hats, with thick clubs in their hands. It was not only their tall stature and great fists that made people uneasy to see them, but also their strange and gloomy behavior in the dark, which looked like four ghosts turned into gentry. They walked to the middle of the crossroads, stopped, and gathered together, as if they were exchanging opinions. One of them, like their leader, turned his head and pointed with a firm right hand in the direction of Jean Valjean, while the other seemed to point in the opposite direction with an obstinate air. At the moment when he first turned his head, the moonlight shone on his face, and Jean Valjean saw clearly that it was Javert. WWw.xiAosHuotxt.COM Fortunately, the Austerlitz Bridge is being driven. Jean Valjean no longer doubted, but fortunately the men were still hesitating, and he took advantage of their hesitation, which was a waste of time for them, and a gain of time for him. He came out of his hiding place, turned into the Rue de la Poste, and went towards the Botanic Gardens. Cosette began to feel tired. He held her on his arm. There were no pedestrians on the road, and the street lamps were not lit, because there was a moon. He walked forward in two steps. In a few moments he had reached the Gobley Pottery,Magnesium Sulphate price, where the moonlight was making plain the lines of old-fashioned advertisements on the outer wall: The old family shop, Gobley, Pitcher and kettle, please come to buy. There are also flowerpots, tiles and bricks. Sell the red square by heart. Hearts and diamonds are the two suits on a card. He crossed the Rue des Keys, then the Fountain of Saint-Victor, and went down the road beside the Botanical Gardens to the edge of the river. When he got there, he looked back. The riverside is empty. The streets are empty. No one is coming. He took a breath. He reached the bridge of Austerlitz. At that time, you had to pay a bridge tax to cross the bridge. He went to the tax office and paid a sou. Two sous, "said the wounded soldier guarding the bridge," and you are holding a child who can walk by himself. You have to pay for two people. He paid as promised, and murmured to himself that it might be possible to find him crossing the bridge from here. A flight should always leave no trace. There happened to be a cart which, like him, was about to cross the bridge at that moment to the right bank of the Seine. This is to his advantage. He could pass by in the shadow of the cart. Near the middle of the bridge, dap diammonium phosphate ,caustic calcined magnesite, Cosette's feet were numb, and she wanted to come down. He put her on the ground and took her hand. After crossing the bridge, he found some workshops in front of him, a little to the right, and he went there. Had to venture through a fairly wide clearing in the moonlight to get there. He did not hesitate. The men searching for him were evidently disoriented, and Jean Valjean thought he was out of danger. Chasing, though chasing, following, but not following. Between the two walled workshops, a small street appeared, which was the Rue de la Verde saint-antoine. The street was narrow and dark, as if it had been specially built for him. He looked back again before entering the street.  He ran into a wall. The street which Jean Valjean was now taking led into a cross-street, and that was the enclosure of the cross-street. When you get there, you have to make up your mind to go right or left. He looked to the right. On both sides of the lane were buildings of open sheds and warehouses, which stretched out like a caecum and were impassable. You can clearly see the bottom of the lane, and there is a high pink wall. He looked to the left. The alley on this side is open, and, at a distance of about two hundred paces,potassium sulphate fertilizer, it connects with another street. This side is the way out. Jean Valjean was about to turn to the left, with the intention of fleeing to the street at the end of which he had a vague view, when he noticed a black figure standing still at the corner of the street at the entrance of which he was going. It was indeed a man who had just been sent to stand guard at the entrance of the lane and block the way. Jean Valjean drew back quickly. stargrace-magnesite.com
