Apprenticed to bakers in the Faubourg Saint-Laurent, they deserted their masters to play in a tennis-court near the Estrapade, a machine invented, in the days of François I., for the benefit of heretics. Turlupin usually played a roguish valet, Gros-Guillaume a pedant, and Gaultier-Garguille a supremely stupid old man. They eventually joined the company of the Hôtel de Bourgogne, whose popularity was immensely strengthened by their inclusion.--Hawkins, "Annals of the French Stage," i. 51. [2] The Civil Lieutenant was, after the Provost of Paris, the first magistrate of the Châtelet; to him belonged, among other functions, the supervision of guardians and trustees of children under age and of _conseils de famille_. [3] He was a child of seven or eight, and his father's object in inserting his name in the _acte de naissance_ was probably to annoy his unfortunate wife. [4] This is Jal's conclusion. While compiling his famous _Dictionnaire critique de Biographie et d'Histoire_, he made an exhaustive search of the registers of all the old parishes of Paris--there were sixty-eight--but failed to discover either the _acte de naissance_ of Armande or the death certificate of Joseph Béjart, which two events must have taken place within a few days of each other.
