The Man with the Pale Eyes (short story)

  • French: L'Homme aux yeux pales
  • Also Known As: The Man with the Blue Eyes
  • Type: Short Story

Once wrongly attributed to Guy de Maupassant, The Man with the Pale Eyes is a short story by French author Jean Richepin. - AsNotedIn

Monsieur Pierre Agenor De Vargnes, the Examining Magistrate, was the exact opposite of a practical joker. He was dignity, staidness, correctness personified. As a sedate man, he was quite incapable of being guilty, even in his dreams, of anything resembling a practical joke, however remotely. I know nobody to whom he could be compared, unless it be the present president of the French Republic. I think it is useless to carry the analogy any further, and having said thus much, it will be easily understood that a cold shiver passed through me when Monsieur Pierre Agenor de Vargnes did me the honor of sending a lady to await on me.
