Pension Beaurepas, The

Another classic converted by eBooksLib.com.

«I was not rich – on the contrary; and I had been told the Pension Beaurepas was cheap. I had, moreover, been told that a boarding- house is a capital place for the study of human nature. I had a fancy for a literary career, and a friend of mine had said to me, «If you mean to write you ought to go and live in a boarding-house; there is no other such place to pick up material.» I had read something of this kind in a letter addressed by Stendhal to his sister: «I have a passionate desire to know human nature, and have a great mind to live in a boarding-house, where people cannot conceal their real characters.»
