You fit the tale , '' said de Mauprat dubiously , touching the letter with his finger . `` Let me see , '' rejoined Detricand . `` I 've been a donkey farmer , a shipmaster 's assistant , a tobacco pedlar , a quarryman , a wood merchant , an interpreter , a fisherman -- that 's very like the Comte de Tournay ! On Monday night I supped with a smuggler ; on Tuesday I breakfasted on soupe a la graisse with Manon Moignard the witch ; on Wednesday I dined with Dormy Jamais and an avocat disbarred for writing lewd songs for a chocolate-house ; on Thursday I went oyster-fishing with a native who has three wives , and a butcher who has been banished four times for not keeping holy the Sabbath Day ; and I drank from eleven o'clock till sunrise this morning with three Scotch sergeants of the line -- which is very like the Comte de Tournay , as you were saying , Chevalier ! I am five feet eleven , and the Comte de Tournay was five feet ten -- which is no lie , '' he added under his breath . `` I have a scar , but it 's over my left shoulder and not over my right -- which is also no lie , '' he added under his breath . `` De Tournay 's hair was brown , and mine , you see , is almost a dead black -- fever did that , '' he added under his breath .
