On their third day in Paris, Miss Murphy said, "I'm sorry to leave you again, Pierre. Today is my only chance to visit the Louvre Museum. The poodle show is tonight, and tomorrow we leave."

The moment the door closed, he slipped under the balcony railing, slid down a café awning and leapt to the street below.
With or without Miss Murphy, he was going to climb the Eiffel Tower.
