SPECTACLE, SORBONNE

An elderly gentleman, don-ish, takes up the table next to us (very next to us) at a bar by the Sorbonne. He has one eye and two pairs of spectacles, which he fussily and frequently swaps about.

Am ever when by the Sorbonne put in mind of the Pet Shop Boys ("Pet Shop Boys, no 'the'" as the wrinkled Nabokov-looky-likey gay father of Corrie's Gail, pedantically said) - 'Opportunities'; I studied at the Sorbonne.

A heavyweight knowledge brand.
