'Ja, dies ist reizend, said Emil, sotto voce, exulting. He was very shy. But we were curiously happy, in that railway restaurant. Then we sat very still, on the platform, and waited for the train. It was like Italy, pleasant and social to wait in the railway station, all the world easy and warm in its activity, with the sun shining. I decided to take a franc's worth of train-journey.
Monsieur No, no. I am kind-hearted, but I should reproach myself Will you have your walking-stick, dear? Monsieur I don't care. How much do you want of that abomination a franc's worth, thirty sous' worth, a louis' worth? Madame You know very well that I would not make an abuse of it-only a sou's worth. I have some sous for mass; here, take one. Adieu, Alfred; be quick; be quick!

"Though you have not taken half a franc's worth," he admitted, with an honesty very unusual in a Neapolitan "but the saints will make it up to you, never fear!" "I am sure of that!" I said, gayly. "Addio, my friend! Prosperity to you and our Lady's favor!"
But ask the boy whether in such cases Mr. Duval has paid money. He has been here longer than I." "Mr. Duval has paid every commissioner, who has brought him such news, two centums on the franc," said the boy, with an important air. "Well, then, I will give you two centums on the franc, provided that the citizen buys more than a franc's worth."
