It's a fine day, all the birds are singing and--we're going to do great things. He rubbed his hands exultantly,

Playing the flute? gasped Tignol.

I don't know how to play the flute.

All the better! Spend your time learning! There is no one who gets so quickly in touch with his neighbors as a man learning to play the flute.

Ah! grinned the other shrewdly.

You're after information from the sixth floor?

Meet me at nine to-night at the Three Wise Men and--good luck. I'm off to the Santé.
