Clothed now with the sun, he is crowned by-and-by with twelve stars as he goes to bathe, and the reflection of an early moon is under his feet. So little stands between a gamin and all the dignities of Nature. They are so quickly restored. There seems to be nothing to do, but only a little thing to undo. It is like the art of Eleonora Duse.
Brigitte was tramping along so stoutly, her little velvet cap on her light hair made her look so much like a resolute gamin, that I forgot that she was a woman when there were no obstacles in our path. More than once, she was obliged to call me to her aid when I, without thinking of her, had pushed on ahead.
Picpon had chuckled again as he arranged the little bag so carefully, with its date-stones, and pictured the rage of the beautiful Moor when she should discover the contents and order the stick to her negro. Ah! that was what Picpon called fun! To appreciate the full force of such fun, it is necessary to have also appreciated the gamin.
Jonesy, with all the fearlessness of a little street gamin brought up in a big city, answered him fearlessly, even saucily at times, much to the man's amusement. "So you want to get a job around here, do you?" said the man, presently, with a grin. "Maybe I can give you one. Know anything about railroadin'?" "Heaps," answered Jonesy.
The gamin, at the sound of Marius' voice, ran up to him with his merry and devoted air. "Will you do something for me?" "Anything," said Gavroche. "Good God! if it had not been for you, I should have been done for." "Do you see this letter?" "Yes." "Take it. The heroic child replied "Well, but! in the meanwhile the barricade will be taken, and I shall not be there."
There was a little red lamp hanging on a pile of stones to warn people that the street was being repaired. "I'll get my check from the Gamin on Saturday," said Grief. "They bought that string of comics." "Well, then, we'll arrange the present funds to last until Saturday noon," said Wrinkles. "That gives us quite a lot. We can have a table d'hôte on Friday night."
"Do you know what a franc is?" he asked. The gamin eyed him doggedly. "But I saw him," he said. "Saw what?" said Gethryn, gently. "The bossu," repeated the wretched infant vacantly. "See here," said Gethryn, "listen to me. What would you do with twenty francs?" "Eat, all day long, forever!" Rex slipped two twenty-franc pieces into the filthy little fist. "Eat," he murmured, and turned away. Seven
Nevertheless, whatever may be the Voltairianism of the small gamin, if the occasion to become a chorister presents itself, it is quite possible that he will accept, and in that case he serves the mass civilly. There are two things to which he plays Tantalus, and which he always desires without ever attaining them: to overthrow the government, and to get his trousers sewed up again.
A wisp of sunny hair blew across her crimson cheek; slender, active, excitedly unconscious of self, she seemed like some eager, adorable little gamin perched there, intent on mischief. "If you'll drop into our yard," she said, "and place that soap box against the ventilator, Clarence can't get out that way!" It was done before she finished the request.
As the sputtering candle burned brighter for a moment, startlingly, a vague change was noticeable in the lineaments of the features. It was the same gamin who had given the sleeping boy money. But now, in the candle-light, with only the head showing, it was no boy who glared malevolently at Eva, but a woman and that woman was the implacable Zita!
