The elder Hautot, who had fallen on his side, in a fainting condition, kept both his hands over his stomach, from which flowed down upon the grass through the linen vest torn by the lead, long streamlets of blood.
Then, after having bandaged him the best way they could, they brought him back to his own house, and they awaited the doctor, who had been sent for, as well as a priest. When the doctor arrived, he gravely shook his head, and, turning towards young Hautot, who was sobbing on a chair: "My poor boy," said he, "this has not a good look."
César Hautot, almost as tall as his father, but thinner, was a good son, docile, content with everything, full of admiration, respect, and deference, for the wishes and opinions of his sire.
M. Bermont, the tax-collector, a stout little man, who showed on his red cheeks a thin network of violet veins resembling the tributaries and the winding courses of rivers on maps, asked: "And hares are there any hares on it?" Hautot Senior answered: "As much as you like, especially in the Puysatier lands."
If I accept, listen! 'Tis not for myself no, no, no, I swear to you. 'Tis for the child. Besides this provision will be put to his account." Thereupon, César scared, divined the truth, and stammering: "So then 'tis his the child?" "Why, yes," she said. And Hautot, Junior, gazed at his brother with a confused emotion, intense and painful.
The sportsmen took up their positions at some distance from each other, Hautot Senior posting himself at the right, Hautot Junior at the left, and the two guests in the middle. The keeper and those who carried the game-bags followed. It was the solemn moment when the first shot it awaited, when the heart beats a little, while the nervous finger keeps feeling at the gun-lock every second.
They all waited, with their eyes riveted on the heap of branches through which their gaze failed to penetrate. The notary, making a speaking-trumpet of his hands, shouted: "Have you got them?" Hautot Senior made no response. Then César, turning towards the keeper, said to him: "Just go, and assist him, Joseph. We must keep walking in a straight line. We'll wait."
