Falguiere turns down.

nouveau thinks; for he is not yet used to the
Quarter, and anything half-a-mile from the Boul'
Miche seems in the wilderness. And consequently
he resisted all Johnson's persuasive eloquence that
he should go yet further along the endless Rue
Vaugirard to a nest of studios which usually let at
two-thirds the rent asked for the one in the Rue
Falguiere.
