At once she felt that it was cruel to draw attention to Mademoiselle when she was dumpy and upset. "What a fool I am," she moaned in her mind. "Why can't I say the right thing?" "Ce n'est pas moi," said Mademoiselle, "qui fait les avanses." The group walked on for a moment or two in silence.
Yesterday, at the station, I saw a sick Zouave nursing a German summer casquette. He said quietly, being very sick: "The burgomaster chez moi wanted one. Yes, I had to kill a German officer for it ce n'est rien de quoi I got a ball in my leg too, mais mon burgomaster sera très content d'avoir une casquette d'un boche."
The profound egotism of "il ne reste plus que moi" could not escape being vigorously lashed by V. Hugo's old comrades of the quill, dating back with him to 1830, and now so loftily ignored.
