"...The equipage of Lablache created a great deal of curiosity....The freighrt
paid on macarroni alone was $100....Ten minutes before the [train] departure,
the celebrated Basso made his appearance, having Papiros and Cigarette, two
favorite King-Charles dogs, triumphantly installed each in one pocket of their
master's paletot."
