"I'll join you with all my heart," said Jack, "though I can't fight as well as I could before my ribs were stove in." "I'll tackle one of the fellows if I may take the smallest," said Tom, though he looked rather pale at the thought of the impending struggle. "What do you advise, Rayner?" asked Oliver. "I can advise no violence," said Rayner.
'Oh, that may take care of itself! said her husband scornfully, as he lighted his pipe at the stove; and, wishing his wife a pleasant journey, he went down the steps of the caravan and closed the door. The poor wife turned over on her pillow and wept. She had made a very great effort in speaking to her husband, and it had been of no avail.
Mother Nolan wagged her gray head and returned her gaze to the red draft of the stove. "'Twas grand wine," she muttered. "Wracker's wine! Dead man's wine!" "Nay, Granny, there ye bes wrong. Not a lad aboard her was killed nor drownded." "Then how come ye by the gold an' diamonds, Denny?" The skipper laughed. "Sure, Granny, I tricked 'em!" he exclaimed.

The forester clambered down from the stove, felt for the candle, and, lighting it, went to the door. The hunter and his dog were drenched to the skin. They had come in for the heaviest of the downpour, and now the water ran from them as from washed clothes before they have been wrung out. "What was it?" asked the forester.
It needed nothing more to arouse the good woman, who had already said more than once: "What a pity!" as she saw little Rosine waiting for her father in the lodge of the concierge, asleep in a chair before the stove. She coaxed the child to play with her children. Rosine was very pretty, with bright eyes, a droll little Parisian nose, and a mass of straw-colored curly hair escaping from her cap.
When the guests arrived in the evening, Madame Raquin occupied her usual place, between the stove and table.
