He was very angry when he found

He stumbled to the floor, bathed

my surprise, walked over to a fiat

About nine o'clock we were sum

the meal drew to an end.
Looking up from my empty plate,
declined politely; and we followed her

She led the way into that small
room overlooking the garden where l
had been twice received by Madame
de Vassart. Here she took leave of

relax. apathetic, comfortable.
And then my reverie ended abrupt
ly; a step on the gravel walk brought
me to my feet. There she
stood, lovely in fresh morning gown
deeply belted with turquoise-shells,
1er ruddy hair glistening, coiled low
on neck of snow.
For the first time she showed en-
barrassment in her greeting, scarcely
touching my hand, speaking with a
new constraint in a voice which grew
colder as she hesitated.

to Eyre.
In his house; Speed is with him" "
Come on, then" said, pushing my

to the mayors house.

The mayor looked slyly at me out
of the corner of his mottled eyes, but
he remained mute.

troops from Lorient hear of this rev.

chase these communards into the sea.
And after that they'll stand you up
