No-one? OK, here's some more from later on. This is our protagonist in conversation with a different man than before.
I think everyone reading this knows the title of this book (it is certainly not obscure), even if they don't (yet) recognise the dialog.
"Ah! If I were not in such haste, and if I were not running after someone," said __________.
"Monsieur Man-in-a-hurry, you can find me without running—me, you understand?"
"And where, I pray you?"
"Near the Carmes-Deschaux."
"At what hour?"
"About noon."
"About noon? That will do; I will be there."
"Endeavor not to make me wait; for at quarter past twelve I will cut off your ears as you run."
