Hugger-Mugger in the Louvre (2015)
“To reach it, the ordinary tourist would turn left at the Winged Victory, pass through a roomful of pagan jewelry, another in which Egyptian cats predominate, a third filled with vases and pots, and then would brace a guide who, if he didn’t misunderstand, would point the way northward, through a series of rooms including the Pavilion Sully, after which the tourist, if still in the money, would turn right and proceed perhaps thirty yards along a narrow passage. Within the memory of the living at...tendants at the famous Museum, no visitor had ever asked to go there directly, although many had lost their way to the Spring, the Mona Lisa, The Music Lesson or Madame Recamier and had stumbled into the Hall of Pills unawares.

It was to the Hall of Pills that Chief of Detectives Frémont led Evans and Miriam, after the short uneventful drive from the Salle Gaveau.MoreLess
