These details, which fill more than forty pages of appendix to M. Cousin’s volume, are no longer of any interest in themselves; but they enable us to understand more clearly the conduct of Pascal and his two friends.

Solomon could hear his cousin’s whistle even then. So he hurried to his door; and there was Simon, sitting on a limb of the big hemlock waiting for him! “It’s all right!” said Solomon to his cousin. “I agree to your suggestion. We’ll hunt together again to-night; and if you will give me one-third of all the mice you catch, I promise to give you two-thirds of all the mice that I capture.”
