Excerpt from The Dramas of Victor Hugo, Vol. 20: The Twin Brothers, Angelo, Amy Robsart

Scene. - A little deserted square near the gate of the hotel Bussy, into which run two or three streets. In the back scene the three steeples of St. Germain-des-Pres appear above some houses. On the rising of the curtain two men are in front of the scene, one of whom, Guillot-Gorju, has nearly finished dressing the other in clothes similar to his own; namely, the fantastic and ragged costume of the mountebanks of Callot. The other has already put on yellow stockings, shoes with extravagant puffs, breeches of old black silk, and jerkin. The costumes of the two men are exactly alike, so that one of the might be easily taken for the other. The garments abandoned by the man who is disguising himself lie on the ground. They are dark in color, but rich in appearance.
