“I’ve noticed that Pascal has the most striking eyes, he’s always in high spirits when he’s not being so attentive in his observations. I suppose it must come naturally for someone who must pay attention to detail.” -Claudine Beaulieu

Pascal Hurteau observes his fellow tenants from a far off corner.


Pascal resides on the Fifth Floor: Room E7.


One early morning amidst the other tenants around Pascal Hurteau told of something quite strange the other day. "You'll never guess whos shoes I shined the other day, by shoes I mean feet."

Louis Bouthillette chimed in from the next table over. "Fine, I'll bite...who?"

"Jesus Christ"

Philippe Navarre who was eves dropping spit his coffee out laughing hysterically at such a notion.

Louis stared strangely at his friend’s outburst of laughter and simply said to Pascal.

"I hope he left you a good tip."

"Sure did, said blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth, talk about a backhanded compliment!"

Pascal finished his cup of coffee, then tossed his worn shoe rag over his shoulder before headed to work for the day.
