One day I was there after dinner, looking on a great deal but not saying much, listening as little as possible, when I was accosted by one of the most bizarre people in this country (and God has made sure we don't lack such types).

ey, always alone. I talk to myself about politics, love, taste, or philosophy. I let my spirit roam at will, allowing it to follow the first idea, wise or foolish, which presents itself, just as we see our dissolute young men on Foy's Walk following in the footsteps of a prostitute with a smiling face, an inviting air, and a turned-up nose, then leaving her for another, going after all of them and sticking to none. For me, my thoughts are my prostitutes. If the weather is too cold or too rainy, I take refuge in the Regency Café. I like to watch the games of chess. The best chess players in the world are in Paris, and the best players in Paris are in the Regency Café. Here, in Rey's establishment, they battle it out--Legal the Profound, Philidor the Subtle, Mayot the Solid. One sees the most surprising moves and hears the stupidest remarks. For one can be an intelligent man and a great chess player, like Legal, but one can also be a great chess player and a fool, like Foubert and Mayot. REAMING ON THE BENCH IN ARGESON'S ALLEY ALWAYS ALONE I TALK TO MYSELF ABOUT POLITICS LOVE TASTE OR PHILOSOPHY I LET MY SPIRIT ROAM AT WILL ALLOWING IT TO FOLLOW THE FIRST IDEA WISE OR FOOLISH WHICH PRESENTS ITSELF JUST AS WE SEE OUR DISSOLUTE YOUNG MEN ON FOYS WALK FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A PROSTITUTE WITH A SMILING FACE AN INVITING AIR AND A TURNED UP NOSE THEN LEAVING HER FOR ANOTHER GOING AFTER ALL OF THEM AND STICKING TO NONE FOR ME MY THOUGHTS ARE MY PROSTITUTES IF THE WEATHER IS TOO COLD OR TOO RAINY I TAKE REFUGE IN THE REGENCY CAFE I LIKE TO WASH THE GAMES OF CHESS THE BEST CHESS PLAYERS IN THE WORLD ARE IN PARIS AND THE BEST PLAYERS IN PARIS ARE IN THE REGENCY CAFE HERE IN RAY'S ESTABLISHMENT THEY BATTLE IT OUT LEGAL THE PROFOUND PHILIDOR THE SUBTLE MAY THE SOLID ONE SEES THE MOST SURPRISING MOVES AND HEARS THE STUPIDEST REMARKS FOR ONE CAN BE AN INTELLIGENT MAN AND A GREAT CHESS PLAYER LIKE LEGAL BUT ONE CAN ALSO BE A GREAT CHESS PLAYER AND A FOOL LIKE FUBERT AND MAYARD
