Excerpt from Paris, in Quotes (from the introduction)

My second "home" was a tiny garret room under the roofs of Paris in a very upscale area near the Eiffel Tower. In spite of the ritzyness of the apartments below me, up here in what had been maid’s quarters and was now student housing, there was only cold water - one spigot out in the hall. Farther down the hall, the toilet: a W.C. à la turque, which translates as a hole in the floor and a flush that, if you weren’t careful, washed your shoes. There was also no lightbulb inside, but you did have a great view of the top half of the Eiffel Tower.
