laboratory, who, as it appears, takes no interest
in my affairs, and leave this new purgatory full
of deep, unspeakable joy.

In the mornings when I do walk in the churchyard
of Montparnasse, I visit the park of the
Palais Luxembourg. A few days after my
departure from the Sorbonne I discover, in the
centre of the churchyard, a monument of classical
beauty. A white marble medallion shows
the noble features of an old man of science,
whom the inscription on the pedestal describes
as “Orfila: Chemist and Physiologist.” It was
my friend and protector who, in later years, has
so often guided me through the labyrinth of
chemical experiments.
A week later, passing through the Rue
d’Assas, I stop to admire a house which looks
like a convent. A large shield on the wall
informs me that it is “Hôtel Orfila.”
Again and again Orfila!
