"I will have a bock, too, since you are willing to treat me." She had addressed him with the familiar tu, and continued to use it, as if the offer of a drink had tacitly conveyed permission. Then, sitting down opposite each other, they talked for a while.
"All right, if that's your game!" cried Pepper, and feeling in his pocket he brought forth an orange he had purchased on the boat. Taking careful aim, he let fly with all force. The orange landed fairly and squarely on Roy Bock's nose. "Ouch!" roared Roy Bock, and clapped his hand to his nose, which began to bleed.
Davenport was in danger from a suspicion of harboring them, they left it, and for a week or two showed themselves at different times at New Haven and elsewhere. After two months more of concealment in their retreat on the side of West Bock, they betook themselves, just after the middle of August, to the house of one Tomkins, in or near Milford.
"Is Major O'Shaughnessy in the church?" "I dinna ken," was the short, rough answer. "Who is the officer so badly wounded?" "I dinna ken," repeated he, as gruffly as before; while he added, in a louder key, "Stand bock, I tell ye, man! Dinna ye see the staff coming?"
There is no joy here." "There certainly is not, and you find this more in music than in any other phase of Spanish life. The Germans dance the gay and voluptuous waltz with a 'bock' in their hand, singing the Gaudeamus igitur, that students' hymn glorifying the material life free from care.
I think the little fool was just about fagged out, and no wonder. I was a trifle groggy myself. In the end he was quite docile. He climbed into the van, took off his boots, and lay down under a blanket. Bock followed him, and I think they both fell asleep on the instant. I got on the front seat and took the reins. I didn't let Peg go more quickly than a walk as I wanted to spare her sore foot.
In those days his only regret was that he had not the necessary threepence to go to the cafe. "One can't go to the cafe without threepence to pay for the harmless bock, and if one has threepence one can sit in the cafe discussing Carpeaux, Rodin, and the mysteries, until two in the morning, when one is at last ejected by an exhausted proprietor at the head of numerous waiters."
He ain't much of a looker, sir I've seen hundreds like him sitting out in front of the cafés along the boulevards, taking all afternoon to drink a bock." Vantine seemed struck by a sudden idea, and he looked at the card again. Then he tapped it meditatively on the table. "Shall I show him out, sir?" asked Parks, at last. "No," said Vantine, after an instant's hesitation.
I will make some discreet inquiries concerning this Monsieur Rabel." Hence we parted, and while Señor Rivero sauntered along the street in search of the house in question, I went into the café and ordered a bock. Full of anxiety lest, after all, this man Rabel should be a respectable citizen, I waited. Time passed slowly. Half an hour went by.
One cannot remain all one's life in the Latin Quarter. The students make too much noise. But I do not move about any longer. Waiter, a 'bock." I now began to think that he was making fun of me, and I continued: "Come now, be frank. You have been the victim of some great sorrow; despair in love, no doubt! It is easy to see that you are a man whom misfortune has hit hard. What age are you?"
