Analysis
The story is divided into two types of text: narrative and the direct speech. We find that Charles Jousselin de Gruse is the narrator of the story of Pierre and Faniry. While drinking, the gossiping among the host and the guests is almost in the direct speech with a minimal narration, while the story that is told by Charles Jousselin de Gruse is almost made up of narrative. The story told by the host consists of six paragraphs. Paragraph one, two, three, four and five are entirely made up of narrative. The only mixed paragraph is six, where the first sentence is in direct speech. Apart from this, there is a little dialogue between paragraph four and five.
