	Metropole Paris – Down and Out
		It was after this time that Orwell was robbed and became 'down and out.' He and his pal 'Boris' pawned their overcoats, and 'Boris' eventually helped Orwell to get a miserable job as a 'plongeur' in the depths of a fancy Paris hotel.
		In 'Down and Out' his money is stolen from his room – but it is possible that the thief was Orwell's goodtime girlfriend Suzanne, or she was helped by her other boyfriend.
		In 'Down and Out' the street was called the 'Rue du Coq d'Or.' The hotel Orwell stayed in at number six may have always been merely a number, just as in the book it was merely 'the hotel in the Rue du Coq d'Or.' No Rue du Coq d'Or exists in Paris.

		Written as one piece, the story has a clear divide between the time Orwell spent in Paris, and his soujorn amongst the "vangabonds" whilst "down and out in London".
		His meetings and dealings with "Russian communists", despite an unfavorable portrayal in "Down and Out" as greedy extorters and con-men, are certainly reflected in his Marx critique Animal Farm.
