DAYS GONE BY
It is a flee market in France, 1957.
Roger is having his shoes shined because all the men get shoe shines.
There is a new girl in town who Roger hasn't met yet but he would like to make a good impression on her. He believes her name is La Belle Karean. What a beautiful name!
Antoine is the shoe shine guy. He has never met Roger before but they both heard the clickety-clack of the shoes from the girl on the cobble stones.
Antoine smells the coffee from the Bistro next door, the tobacco smoke from Roger's pipe and the heavenly perfume from the woman when she walked by. He is thinking I have another shoe to do, but I am going to hurry because I want to meet that woman! Antoine is actually a farmer who is making extra money to court a girl from the city.
Once Antoine finishes Roger's shoes they both jump up to meet the girl before she is lost in the crowd and they are in such a hurry they bump into each other!
The girl sees this and runs off!!
