November 9, 1849.
The temperature in Paris has become increasingly cold since November, and the petite bourgeoisie living in Paris have all begun using their fireplaces. As a result, the price of firewood in Paris has risen slightly. The increase in wood prices has attracted a swarm of speculators to Paris, causing stocks linked to wood to go up slightly. This stock surge has further fueled the enthusiasm of Parisian lumber companies, with large groups of workers seen every day in the Bois de Boulogne on the southern outskirts of Paris. They cut down trees in the forest, transport them to sawmills for debarking and cutting, and then sell them in Paris.
That day, Sable, who ran a small shop alone in Paris, had his neck hunched as he opened his shop early. His store was located on a street in Saint Lachar. In June last year, he had fought with a group of those damned "rioters" and the army on this street.
