Gauthier to the restaurant in order that he might assure her that he had not been in the establishment when her husband had lost his coat. A typical hot-headed Parisian woman, Mme, Gauthier babbled about Verdun, la France, the debt. A mob swarmed about Mr. Jones shouting: "Vive la France! A bas les etrangers!"
