Welcome to my blog with some of my work in progress. I’ve been working on this
book idea. You can read some of the chapters below.

CHAPTER VI: ESMERALDA

We are delighted to be able to inform the reader, that during the whole of this
scene, Gringoire and his piece had stood firm. His actors, spurred on by him,
had not ceased to spout his comedy, and he had not ceased to listen to it. He
had made up his mind about the tumult, and was determined to proceed to the end,
not giving up the hope of a return of attention on the part of the public. This
gleam of hope acquired fresh life, when he saw Quasimodo, Coppenole, and the
deafening escort of the pope of the procession of fools quit the hall amid great
uproar. The throng rushed eagerly after them. “Good,” he said to himself, “there
go all the mischief-makers.” Unfortunately, all the mischief-makers constituted
the entire audience. In the twinkling of an eye, the grand hall was empty.

CHAPTER V: QUASIMODO

In the twinkling of an eye, all was ready to execute Coppenole’s idea.
Bourgeois, scholars and law clerks all set to work. The little chapel situated
opposite the marble table was selected for the scene of the grinning match. A
pane broken in the pretty rose window above the door, left free a circle of
stone through which it was agreed that the competitors should thrust their
heads. In order to reach it, it was only necessary to mount upon a couple of
hogsheads, which had been produced from I know not where, and perched one upon
the other, after a fashion. It was settled that each candidate, man or woman
(for it was possible to choose a female pope), should, for the sake of leaving
the impression of his grimace fresh and complete, cover his face and remain
concealed in the chapel until the moment of his appearance. In less than an
instant, the chapel was crowded with competitors, upon whom the door was then
closed.

CHAPTER IV: MASTER JACQUES COPPENOLE

While the pensioner of Ghent and his eminence were exchanging very low bows and
a few words in voices still lower, a man of lofty stature, with a large face and
broad shoulders, presented himself, in order to enter abreast with Guillaume
Rym; one would have pronounced him a bull-dog by the side of a fox. His felt
doublet and leather jerkin made a spot on the velvet and silk which surrounded
him. Presuming that he was some groom who had stolen in, the usher stopped him.
