Daily Dose

From The Belly of Paris, by Emile Zola, translated by Brian Nelson

"All day long she wandered about with her empty bag, pretending that she was shopping, but in reality buying nothing, since her sole purpose was to peddle gossip and keep herself informed about the most trifling event."

From Chapter 2
