I found an address book on the Rue des Martyrs.
I decided to photocopy the contents before sending it back anonymously to its owner, whose address
is inscribed on the endpaper.
I will contact the people whose names are noted down.
I'll ask them to tell me about the owner of the address book, whose name I’ll only reveal in person,
if they agree to meet me.
