When the three friends got back into their own vehicle , Gazonal endeavoured to seize Bixiou round the waist , crying out : `` She bites ! You 're a fine rascal ! '' `` So women say , '' replied Bixiou . At half-past eleven o'clock , after the play , another citadine took the trio to the house of Mademoiselle Seraphine Sinet , better known under the name of Carabine , -- one of those pseudonyms which famous lorettes take , or which are given to them ; a name which , in this instance , may have referred to the pigeons she had killed . Carabine , now become almost a necessity for the banker du Tillet , deputy of the Left , lived in a charming house in the rue Saint-Georges . In Paris there are many houses the destination of which never varies ; and the one we now speak of had already seen seven careers of courtesans . A broker had brought there , about the year 1827 , Suzanne du Val-Noble , afterwards Madame Gaillard .
