She reached up and held him by the shoulders, imploring him with all her soul. "You can't do it! Oh, you can't do it!" she said. "It isn't you." He looked at her with a certain doggedness.
Madame de Tecle, however, would not permit. She seemed much displeased, and said, sharply: "Marie, my child! In the midst of the corn! Are you crazy!" The child returned promptly to the path, but unable to conquer her wish for the apple, turned an imploring eye to Camors and said, softly: "Pardon, Monsieur, but that apple would make my bouquet complete."
