Jollycorpse, the swelling of whose
legs was abating. listened, shak-
ing his head all the while. There
was a momentary silence. When
they had potatoes, the children
gorged themselves with them and
kept quiet Then. after having
cleared his mouth, tine old man
muttered slowly;
you may say what YOU like.
and II will be as If you hadn't
said anything At all. I've seen
lot of that sort of thing in my

us out Of the directors house and
with the fiat Of the sword. To-
day they may receive you, but
youll get no more answer out of
them than out of this wall Why
not? They've got the brass. and
they don't care a straw
They kept silent once more.
Maheu and Stephen wiped their
mouths and got up. They did not
exchange another word. and left
the family sitting. sad and mute.

way they took Levaque and Pier

through the walls that divided
them from the adjacent rooms.

Around the table the guests
looked at each other with an
expression of insuperable fear
The room became silent at once:
they wanted to recommence their
jokes; they pretended to put the
sugar in their pockets: they sGg-

hidden. But the director re-
