Since the death of the woman who had adopted him , he wept from morning till night , plunged at least to all appearance , in the most violent grief . He proved that he had spent the evening up to eleven o'clock in a café . Ten persons had seen him , having remained there till his departure .

A will , a long time made , which had been left in the hands of a notary in Rennes , made him universal legatee . So he inherited everything .
