2. In
the period of which we speak, there reigned in the cities a stench barely
conceivable to us modern men and women. The streets stank of manure, the
courtyards of urine, the stairwells stank of moldering wood and rat droppings,

stale dust, the bedrooms of greasy sheets, damp featherbeds, and the pungently
sweet aroma of chamber pots. Patrick
Suskind's novel, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

the garden. Gabriel Garcia
