Unfortunately, the baby's screams attract the attention of the police. They arrest the mother and hand her progeny over to church authorities, who baptize him Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The tyke's wet nurses keep quitting. He drinks too greedily, they complain, and there is something else truly spooky about him. Explains one woman: "He doesn't smell...
