Monge

Near the rue Monge there is a small café and restaurant, a place celebrated for its onion soup and its chicken.

The most important method is that which was invented by Monge towards the end of the 18th century.

When I repaired after him to the board, a very singular conversation took place between M. Monge (the examiner) and me.

M. Monge then put to me a geometrical question, which I answered in such a way as to diminish his prejudices.

Accordingly, I did try; and M. Monge's opinion appeared to me to be well founded.
