Buyers and sellers (Christ driving out the money changers) Louis DUFFY God makes garments of skin for Adam and Eve and clothed them. God said ‘Man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.’ God banished him from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out God placed a cherubim on the east side of the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. Richard LEWER The serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals that God had made. He said to the woman ‘Did God really say that you must not eat from any tree in the garden?’. She replied ‘We may eat fruit from all the trees in the garden except for the tree in the middle of the garden or we will die’. The serpent convinces the woman she will not die and will instead gain wisdom from eating the fruit.

E. Phillips FOX God put the man in the Garden of Eden and asked him to work and care for the land. He named him Adam, commanding him ‘to eat from any tree in the garden, except for the tree of knowledge of good and evil’ for if he was to eat from the tree of knowledge he would certainly die.

The bulldog which Mr. de Buffon mentions by both names, guard dog and doorman, is by nature unclean, not well built, curious, growls and is very surly. He constantly barks at the wrong moment. The tenants of the place he lives say that he is an ugly animal. The bulldog's or doorman’s job is to be responsible for guarding the house, but that is what he guards least. On the other hand he is much better at guarding letters, newspapers, calling cards, etc. He is extremely nasty and threatens to throw himself at those people who approach him. However, there is a certain way to tame him: when he shows his teeth one must show him a 100 sous coin. Instantly, he becomes soft and caressing like a poodle. The bulldog or doorman usually lives in dirty and smoky cabins, and thanks to the neighbourhood kids, he never runs out of kennels.
