Your both wrong. Leon was the night porter at the Meuse Arms Hotel in Besanscon. Leon's mother also worked there in the kitchen. The night porter's primary responsibility was to collect and empty the thunder mugs (chamber pots) left outside the hotel room doors each morning by the guests. Leon's mother would later wash them out in the kitchen sink before starting breakfast for the guests.
