Explore "Papillon" by Henri Charrière on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
During the evening batton slipped me three Gauloises and a piece of paper on which I read:
Papillon, I know you're leaving with a pleasant memory of me. I may be a trusty, but I try to do the prisoners as little harm as possible. I took the job because I have nine children and I'm in a hurry to get out. I'm going to try to win my pardon without doing too much harm. Good-by. Good luck. The convoy leaves the day after tomorrow.
