A PEARL MUSSEL!

In Avignon, at the corner of the Halles Centrales, Mr. Vazelli, a baritone at the Grand Théâtre, had bought a kilo of mussels the other morning, which had cost him a royal franc.
When he got home, he was enjoying these seafood from Cette, when he noticed a superb oblong pearl in a shell.
A jeweler estimated this pearl at 500 francs and said that it could have grown to become a pearl worth at least 3,000 francs.
Here is a baritone who must be famous in Les Pêcheurs de Perles!
