I was in a very bad way, as you may guess, but I let down the glasses, and sat as still as a frightened mouse: once I diverted Harriet by crying out, "Ah, mon cher cocher, arretez;" like Madame de Barri's "Un moment, Monsieur le Bourreau." It never was so bad with us that we could not laugh.
She had not seen the place since she rolled out of it in an old-fashioned four-wheeler to seek her fortune, eighteen years ago. "Arrêtez, Alphonse. Attendez moi," she called, and opened the door before he could reach it.
"I don't want no more stone-ballast hove at us 'long o' your callin' Miquelon boats 'footy cochins, same's you did off Le Have." "Harmon Rush he said that was the way to rise 'em. Plain United States is good enough fer me. We're all dretful short on terbakker. Young feller, don't you speak French?" "Oh, yes," said Harvey valiantly; and he bawled: "Hi! Say! Arretez vous! Attendez!
This was quite near the house, and I thought some one said, 'Come in. I opened the gate, and started for the house. At this juncture, a tall, dark man, wearing a very angry look, came from the interior of the house, and stopping at the gallery door, looked scowlingly down upon me as I approached the steps. 'Arrêtez! he said, waving his hand. This wave I understood, but not the word, and stopped.
He shrieked out something about "arretez," and "Francais," and "champ- d'honneur;" but we walked on, Gus putting his thumb to his nose and stretching out his finger at Master Frenchman. This made everybody laugh; and so the adventure ended. About ten days after my aunt's departure came a letter from her, of which I give a copy:
"Arrêtez! 'Arrêtez!" roared Jaffery all of a sudden. We had just passed the Havre Casino on our way back from Etretat. The chauffeur pulled up. Jaffery flung open the door, leaped out and disappeared. In a few seconds we heard his voice reverberating from side to side of the Boulevard Maritime. "Hullo! hullo! hullo!"
It is so difficult to remember the exact spot where one was born. But there can be no doubt about this. Cocher! Arrêtez! s'il vous plaît," he cried, and he was about to open the door and descend, when William Bradbury, of the party, stopped him.
'How beautiful! said I, looking the lady full in the face. 'Comment? said the lady, inquiringly. 'Il dit que vous etes belle comme un ange, said Francis Ardry, emphatically. 'Mais, a la bonne heure! arretez, mon ami, said the lady to Francis Ardry, who was about to drive off; 'je voudrais bien causer un moment avec lui; arretez, il est delicieux.
"What is it?" I said to a Zouave who was plodding along beside the ambulance. "Des Boches crossing the river." The regiment plodded on as before. Now and then a soldier would stop and look up at the aeroplanes. "He's coming!" I heard a voice exclaim. Suddenly, the adjutant whom I had seen before came galloping down the line, shouting, "Arrêtez! Arrêtez! Pas de mouvement!"
But for some months previous to the vendange, no one but a proprietor has the right to enter a vineyard; at this period a perfect calm and silence reigns, and they become an asylum, a veritable land of Goshen, an oasis for all the partridges, hares, and rabbits of the neighbourhood. In order to prevent gentlemen and professional poachers from cruising in these delightful latitudes, killing the game and injuring the vines, a number of gardes champêtres, generally old soldiers, are chosen, who armed with an old sabre, post themselves on some height which commands the vineyard, ready to lay violent hands on any delinquent that may make his appearance.
