At its inner end, where it opens into a small court, is the stone rim of a well, half hidden in the wall. It is the well provided in each tennis-court for the players, and handed on, with the court itself, for the use of the actors. Moliere has leaned over this well-curb to wash away his rouge and wrinkles. It is an indisputable and attractive wit- ness of his early days. In Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, where he knelt at the altar for his marriage and stood at the font with his son ; in Saint-Eus...tache, where he carried his second son for baptism ; in Saint-Roch, where he wrote his name as godfather of a friend's daughter — within these vast and dim aisles, his bodily presence is vaguely shadowed forth ; here we can touch the man. What sort of plays were presented at this house we do not know, the only record that remains referring to the production of " Artaxerxes " by one Mignon. Whatever they played, neither the rough men of the quay and of Port Saint-Paul, nor the bourgeoisie of the Marais, nor the fine folk of Place Royale, crowded into the new theatre.
