Excerpt from Guardian Angels
The huge Havana-coloured limousine with its chauffeur and liveried footman in front, one of those luxurious modern vehicles, crammed With women' s toilettes and hats, which, as symbols of our magni ficence on wheels, have so recently replaced the graceful equipages of the past, slackened its noiseless advance at the foot of the T rocadero incline, as if it were hesitating about crossing the Pont d'iéna, and then stopped dead. The footman jumped to the ground, received orders at the door of the car, and before resuming his place consulted the policeman standing at the angle of the bridge. Eager to oblige these rich people, that functionary crossed the road, and had a brief colloquy with the footman, Which was interrupted by a consultation of his road-map.
