"You will first refresh yourselves a little before dinner, and while Catherine looks after the kitchen I will go and put on my sacque and give my hair a touch with the comb, for certainly it needs it, and you go into the orchard; here, Joseph, take these glasses and the bottle and go and sit in the bee-house, the weather is fine, in an hour all will be in order and I will come and drink with you."
Timar continued the conversation meanwhile with his back leaning against the stable-door, and lighting his pipe just as the countryman does when he is courting the peasant girl. The great boiler must be refilled with fresh rose-infusion, and then they can all go to bed. Timar begged for the bee-house to sleep in, where Frau Therese spread him a couch of fresh hay, and Noémi arranged his pillow.
In order that slumber might not come upon him unawares, he resolved to fix his eyes on the castle windows as the best preservative against dropping off. He could see them quite plainly from the bee-house. The illuminated windows were darkened one by one.
He knew too that, regardless of all the pleasure he felt in taking a swarm, he must forego that pleasure, and leave the old man to see to the bees alone, while he talked to the peasants who had come after him to the bee-house. Whether he were acting rightly or wrongly he did not know, and far from trying to prove that he was, nowadays he avoided all thought or talk about it.
See, there he stands talking with Jeanie Waldron, near the bee-house on the left, the girl dressed in white with a flower in her hair." "Near the girl with a flower? O I see him, I see him," cried Mrs. Nimblet. "And I," cried another, "and I" another. "Well, he's a real nice-looking fellow, I vow he is, if that's he with Jeanie," said Mrs. Wilson.
The clocks of Chatelet struck nine and a half, and the hussars sounded the retreat, and each one was about to dispose himself behind a hedge or a bee-house or in a furrow for the night, when the general of the brigade, Schoeffer, ordered the battalion to take up their position on the other side of the wood, as the vanguard.
