by some thick a door with a letter box and an iron bell pull that was all that could be seen of the s l on took the bell pull in both hands and danced furiously upon the side walk the bell itself was just upon the other side of the wall it responded to his activity and scattered an alarming far and wide into the night a window was thrown open in a house across the street and a voice inquired the cause of this uproar providence and the i i wish the said he has been in bed this hour returned the voice he must get up again retorted and he was for the bell pull once more you will never make him hear responded the voice the garden is of great extent the house is at the farther end and both the and his housekeeper are deaf said pausing the is deaf is he that explains and he thought of the evening s concert with a momentary feeling of relief ah he continued and so the is deaf and the garden vast and the house at the far end and you might ring all night added the voice and be none the for it you would only keep me awake thank you neighbor replied the singer you shall sleep and he made off again at his best pace for the s was still walking to and fro before the door he has not come asked not he she replied good returned i am sure our s inside let me see the case i shall lay this siege in form i am angry i am indignant i am inclined but i thank my maker i have still a sense of fun the unjust judge shall be in a set him up � and set him up he had the case opened by this time struck a few and fell into an attitude which was irresistibly spanish now he continued feel your voice are you ready follow me the and the two voices in harmony and with a startling the chorus of a song of old b s � � bat sa new nights the stones of le thrilled at this audacious hitherto had the night been sacred to repose and and now what was this window after window was opened matches scratched and candles began to swollen sleepy faces peered forth into the there were two figures before the s house each bolt upright with head thrown back and eyes the heavens the shouted and like an and the voices with a crisp and spirited delivery hurled the appropriate burden at the s window all the echoes repeated the s name it was more like an in a farce of re s than a passage of real life in the if he was not the first was the last of the neighbors to yield to the influence of music and furiously throw open the window of his bedroom he was beside himself with rage he leaned far over the window sill and the of his white night cap danced like a thing of life he opened his mouth to dimensions hitherto and yet his voice instead of escaping from it in a roar came shrill and choked and tottering a little more and it was clear he would be better acquainted with the i scorn to his language he touched upon too many serious topics by the way for a quiet although he was known for a man who was prompt with his tongue and had a power of strong expression at command he himself so remarkably this one maiden lady who had got out of bed like the rest to hear the was obliged to shut her window at the second even what she had heard her conscience and next day she said she scarcely reckoned as a maiden lady any longer tried to explain his but he providence and the received nothing but threats of arrest by way of answer if i come down to you cried the aye said do i will not cried the you dare not answered p at that the closed his window all is over said the singer the was perhaps ill judged these have no sense of humor let us get away from here said with a shiver all these people looking � it is so rude and so brutal and then giving way once more to passion � brutes she cried aloud to the candle lit brutes brutes brutes qui said you have done it now and taking the in one hand and the case in the other he led the way with something too to be merely called from the scene of this absurd adventure chapter iv to the west of le four rows of venerable lime trees formed in this night a avenue with two side of pitch darkness here and there tone benches were disposed between the trunks there was not a breath of wind a heavy atmosphere of perfume hung about the and every leaf stood stock still upon its hither after vainly knocking at an inn or two the came at length to pass the night after an amiable insisted on giving his coat to and they sat down together on the first bench in silence made a which he smoked to an end looking up into the trees and beyond them at the of which he tried vainly to recall the names the silence was broken by the church bell it rang the four quarters on a light and measure then followed a sing le deep stroke that died slowly away with a thrill and stillness resumed its empire one said four hours till daylight it is warm it is i have matches and tobacco do not let us � the experience is positively charming i feel a glow within me i am born again this is the poetry of life think of
