"Noctiluca" is a word in ENGLISH
That which shines at night; -- a fanciful name for
phosphorus.
A genus of marine flagellate Infusoria, remarkable for
their unusually large size and complex structure, as well as for their
phosphorescence. The brilliant diffuse phosphorescence of the sea is
often due to myriads of Noctilucae.
The owner of the Agut d'Avignon had the air of a 1920s dandy who had ruined himself with one mad night of gambling at baccarat and had only been saved by this restaurant, which he seemed to cherish as if it were his wife or a good fountain pen.
