Then, with an oratorical wave of his free hand: "The Church opens her arms to all even to her who sinned much because she loved much, who, through woful years, searched the world for her child and found it not hidden away, as it was, by the duplicity of sinful man" and so on through tangled sentences, setting forth in broken terms Paulette Dubois's life.

The Dago Duke bowed with his exaggerated salutation of respect as they passed, the deputy-sheriff with an odd constraint of manner, while the stranger who raised his hat in formal politeness gave her a look which seemed to search her soul. It frightened her. Who was he? She had seen him at old Dubois's funeral.
It was late for breakfast at Dubois's, and I started out to get my own. There were no eggs, and I sauntered over to French Eva's to purchase a few. The town looked queer to me as I walked its grassy streets. Only when I turned into the lane that led to French Eva's did I realize why. It was swept clean of natives. There weren't any.
Almost a third of Dubois's brigade fell into that abyss. This began the loss of the battle. A local tradition, which evidently exaggerates matters, says that two thousand horses and fifteen hundred men were buried in the hollow road of Ohain. This figure probably comprises all the other corpses which were flung into this ravine the day after the combat.

The Dago Duke's voice took on a purring, feline softness which was more emphatic and final than any loud-mouthed vehemence "What do I want? I want you to tell the officers that you passed two men riding on a run from Dubois's sheep-camp two Indians or 'breeds' in moccasins and I want you to do it quick!" "You want me to perjure myself and you 'want me to do it quick," she mimicked.
Benoit had served in the Golden Pear for a quarter of a century. He had served Victor Dubois's father in Normandy, had come with his young master to America, and was nominally his servant still. But if things had gone by their right names at the Golden Pear, old Benoit would not have been called servant for many a year back.
And in the interior of Madame Dubois's establishment Tommy and Nick together drew apart the curtains, opened the windows, and opened the shutters of a pleasantly stuffy sitting-room. Everybody leaned out, and they saw the superb thoroughfare, straight and interminable, and the moving roofs of the tram-cars, and dwarfs on the pavements. The night was mild and languorous.
