I sorrow for the vagabond student of the Latin Quarter now, even more than formerly I envied him.
The Innocents Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
It may be a cabaret in the Latin Quarter, a cafe in some obscure Italian village, a boozing ken in sailor-town, and it may be up at the club over Scotch and soda; but always it will be where John Barleycorn makes fellowship that I get immediately in touch, and meet, and know.
John Barleycorn by London, Jack View in context
My father found lodgings for me with some quiet, middle-class people in the Latin Quarter, and my room was furnished nicely enough; but this first taste of independence, my father's kindness, and the self- denial which he seemed to be exercising for me, brought me but little happiness.
The Country Doctor by de Balzac, Honore View in context
