The giant had recovered, and his mighty cry brought me to my feet, my heart in my throat for "Très Jolie" he roared . . . and coming! . . . coming!! . . . coming!!! . . . I saw the blue and gold!

Hands were thrust at the Dillons from every side, and until we found our box, continued shouts of, "Oh, you Très Jolie!" rose above the crash of the band.

Through him many made their bread.
