May the waters leave their courses to drown you, and the hills their bases to bury you, and no hand lay you in decent graves! "The woman put her hands to her ears and gave a little cry, and the Baron pushed her gently on, and closed the door after her. Then he turned on Garoche. 'Have you said all you wish? he asked.
In the next room they will tell you where to sleep. To-morrow, as I said, you will meet me here. We shall have things to say, you and I. Ah, that Baron, he had a queer mind, but in truth he loved the woman, as you shall see! "Garoche got up without a word, went to the door and opened it, the look of the Baron and the woman following him, for there was a devil in his eye.
Oh, you are great, you are noble, you would not make me sorry, make me to hate myself and you! I have only one thing in the world of any price you would not steal my happiness? He looked at her steadily in the eyes, and said: 'Will it make you happy to go to Garoche? She raised her hands and wrung them.
'You will accept the roof and bed of Beaugard to-night, my man, he said, 'and come to me here at nine tomorrow morning. Garoche stared hard for an instant. 'Stay here! said Garoche, 'Falise and me stay here in the Manor, M'sieu' le Baron! 'Here, even here, Garoche; so good-night to you, said the Baron. Garoche turned towards the girl. 'Then come, Falise, he said, and reached out his hand.
She turned pale as a ghost, and her eyes took the colour that her cheeks lost. When he stepped back he looked close at the husband. 'What is your name? he said. 'Garoche, M'sieu' le Baron, was the reply. 'Garoche, Garoche, he said, eyeing him up and down.
"But another had gone the same road, for, at the awful moment, beside the bursted gun, the dying gunner, Garoche, lifted up his head, saw the loose travelling hill, and said with his last breath: 'The waters drown them, and the hills bury them, and "He had his way with them, and after that perhaps the great God had His way with him perhaps." THE TUNE McGILVERAY PLAYED
Both men looked at her. 'I have heard Garoche, she said. 'He does not judge me right. My heart is no filthy ditch of shame; but it was breaking when I came from the altar with him yesterday. Yet I would have been a true wife to him after all. A ditch of shame ah, Garoche Garoche! And you said you loved me, and that nothing could change you! "The Baron said to her: 'Why have you come, Falise?
"This was in the afternoon. Of course, whether they wished or not, Garoche and Falise could not refuse, and the people were glad enough, for they would have a free hand at meat and wine, the Baron being liberal of table. And it was as they guessed, for though the time was so short, the people at Beaugard soon had the tables heavy with food and drink.
"As the people left, the Baron said to Garoche and Falise: 'A moment with me before you go. The woman started, for she thought of one thing, and Garoche started, for he thought of another the siege of Beaugard and the killing of young Marmette. But they followed the Baron to his chamber. Coming in, he shut the door on them. Then he turned to Garoche.
Garoche had her dress open at the neck and bosom, and was staring at something on her breast. The Baron saw also, stooped with a strange sound in his throat, and picked it up. 'My glove! he said. 'And on her wedding-day! He pointed. 'There on the table is its mate, fished this morning from my hunting-coat a pair the Governor gave me. You see, man, you see her choice!
