It is curious to see the baskets and buckets used here. The cockles are brought in large volute shells, probably the Cymbium ducale, while gigantic helmet-shells, a species of Cassis, suspended by a rattan handle, form the vessels in which fresh water is daily carried past my door.
At length he decided to broach the subject himself. "I say, Lorilleux, we're counting on you to be my wife's witness." The chainmaker pretended, with a chuckle, to be greatly surprised; whilst his wife, leaving her draw-plates, placed herself in the middle of the work-room. "So it's serious then?" murmured he. "That confounded Young Cassis, one never knows whether he is joking or not."

At nine fifteen precisely he was standing by the ticket barrier at Liverpool Street station awaiting the arrival of the Woodford train. Presently it steamed alongside the platform and one of the first persons to get out was Nugent Cassis. He was swinging his cane and mirabile dictu he was whistling. In his buttonhole he wore a flower.
"We are waiting, my dear." "But why isn't he here?" she repeated. "How can we possibly say?" ejaculated Cassis testily. "In a venture of this kind " She caught up the word "venture" and threw it back at him. "No message, nothing." Cranbourne was about to answer, but Torrington interrupted him to tell her of the dog rose Lord Almont had received. "That was from him that was from Tony," she cried.
After all, some day people would be sorry that they just stood by and did nothing. Coupeau laughed at this, saying you would be pretty stupid to risk your neck just to preserve the twenty-five francs a day for the lazybones in the Legislative Assembly. That evening the Coupeaus invited the Goujets to dinner. After desert Young Cassis and Golden Mouth kissed each other on the cheek.
'Course he might have had a shot later." "Did you speak to him?" "No just nodded. Billings tells me he was shot at when he tried to make the tug on the river." "The boat was shot at, you mean," said Cassis. "Anyone rung him up this morning?" asked Mr. Torrington. "No, it was arranged we shouldn't." "Then he's sure to be here soon."
"That's the herring-bone chain," said Coupeau. "There's also the long link, the cable, the plain ring, and the spiral. But that's the herring-bone. Lorilleux only makes the herring-bone chain." The latter chuckled with satisfaction. He exclaimed, as he continued squeezing the links, invisible between his black finger-nails. "Listen to me, Young Cassis! I was making a calculation this morning.
The two women to whose unvarying kindness all my comfort had been owing, were made happy with satin-stripe, cassis, and the inevitable nicotiana. In an unguarded moment my soft heart was betrayed into giving a bottle of absinthe to the large old person who claimed to be Forteune's mamma.
He would enter the house and change into running shorts and a vest having appointed himself underneath with rather a large pneumatic stomach. Also he would wear a beard and a perfectly bald head. This done he would emerge from the house and start running in the middle of the road in whatever direction he likes with a man on a push bicycle pedalling behind him. "But I can't see " Cassis began.
