After the first attack had calmed down, he proposed leaving, but Boivin grew so furious that they almost came to blows. The fat man, moved by pity, rowed the boat back, and, as soon as Patissot had recovered from his seasickness, they bethought themselves of luncheon. Two restaurants presented themselves.
Pansies, pinks, wallflowers and a few rose bushes were languishing in this well without air, and hot as an oven from the refraction of heat from the roofs. "'I have no trees, said Boivin, 'but the neighbors' walls take their place. I have as much shade as in a wood. "Then he took hold of a button of my coat and said in a low tone: "'You can do me a service. You saw the wife.
He himself lived in the country and had a little garden which he cultivated carefully; his needs were small, and he was perfectly happy, so they said. Patissot was now able to understand his tastes and the similarity of their ideals made them immediately fast friends. Old man Boivin said to him: "Do I like fishing, monsieur? Why, it's the delight of my life!"
Pleased with this courageous declaration, I said, "Go then, and you will recover your epaulets at the end of the bridge!" Boivin went forward and, ignoring cannon-balls and bullets, he examined the superstructure of the bridge and its supports and returned to assure me that it was in order and that the regiment could cross. I thereupon re-instated him in his rank.
The charms of youth are the unique equipage of love; A coat made by Brisson, a pair of gloves bought from Boivin, elegant shoes, for whose payment the dealer trembles, a well-tied cravat are sufficient to make a man king of the drawing-room; And soldiers although the passion for gold lace and aiguillettes has died away do not soldiers form of themselves a redoubtable legion of celibates?
"If you wish to hear it. This is how it was: "You knew Boivin, the old editorial clerk, whom we called Boileau?" "Yes, perfectly." "He was my office chum. The rascal had a house at Colombes and always invited me to spend Sunday with him. "I let myself be entrapped like an animal, and set out, one morning by the 8 o'clock train.
After about five minutes of this occupation he called to Boivin; "Monsieur Boivin, would you be so kind as to help me put these creatures on my hook? Try as I will, I can't seem to succeed." Boivin raised his head: "Please don't disturb me, Monsieur Patissot; we are not here for pleasure!"

"'Yes, I stammered, trembling. "Then, turning toward the house, she cried in an angry tone: "'Boivin, here is your man! "It was my friend's wife. Little Boivin appeared immediately on the threshold of a sort of barrack of plaster covered with zinc, that looked like a foot stove. He wore white duck trousers covered with stains and a dirty Panama hat.
"Boivin said, 'Have a little patience and we will reach the river bank. "We reached the river. Here there was an odor of mud and dirty water, and the sun blazed down on the water so that it burned my eyes. I begged Boivin to go under cover somewhere. He took me into a kind of shanty filled with men, a river boatmen's tavern. "He said: "'This does not look very grand, but it is very comfortable.
