it was
indeed
he)would
have had a
fine
account to
settle
with the
owner of
the
cat,not to
speak of
all the
bruised
and
scratched
faces
round

availed
himself of
the tumult
and taken
refuge in
the
cathedral,whither
claude
frollo
beckoned
him to
follow.
the
cathedral
was
already
dark and
deserted,the
transepts
were full
of deepest
shadow,and
the lamps
of the
chapels
were
beginning
to twinkle
like stars
