«Les plus petits recoins des montagnes, qui peuvent arrêter l'eau de la pluie, sont certainement fertilisés; ce ne sont pas seulement les grandes surfaces plates, ni les pentes; ce sont même les faces escarpées des rochers les plus durs. S'il s'y fait quelque crevasse, un arbre s'y établit bientôt; et souvent il contribue, par l'accroissement de ses racines,
Brigit thought that she did not greatly care for the Chevreuil d'Or. Then eight o'clock struck and she rose and rang for hot water. The "maid," who was incidentally a grandmother, wore a blue skirt and a red blouse and smiled cheerfully and toothlessly. "Yes, yes, mademoiselle, de l'eau chaude. I have brought it! Je connais ma clientèle, moi."
He was playing at quoits the other day in the court; a gentleman, a decent-looking person enough, came past, and as a quoit hit his shin, he lifted his cane; but my young bravo whips out his pistol, like Beau Clincher in the "Trip to the Jubilee," and had not a scream of Gardez l'eau from an upper window set all parties a-scampering for fear of the inevitable consequences, the poor gentleman would have lost his life by the hands of that little cockatrice.
Raoul made a dash for his hat, and the next moment she heard, with unpleasant distinctness, his impetuous hand slam the shop door and lock her in. "Baille ma do l'eau" she called to the little mulattress, who responded by searching wildly for a cup and presently bringing a measuring-glass full of water. Clotilde gave it to the wounded man, and he rose at once and stood on his feet. "Raoul."
Know not the living that the grave will swallow them up after a life of sadness and cruel misery? See they not that the whole of human life is like the flash that goes before the fatal thunderbolt?" The same train of thought is not met with again until we come down to our own time, and Maupassant himself does not present it with greater vigor in Sur l'eau.
"Then you are a countryman of Tekeli, and of the queen who made the celebrated water," said I, speaking to the Hungarian in German, which I was able to do tolerably well, owing to my having translated the Publisher's philosophy into that language, always provided I did not attempt to say much at a time. Hungarian. Ah! you have heard of Tekeli, and of L'eau de la Reine d'Hongrie. How is that?
"Oui, madame," replied the third, fanning in the direction pointed out. "Louise," said Madame de Fontanges, languidly, after a short pause, "apporte-moi de l'eau sucree." "Oui, madame," replied another, rising, in obedience to the order. "Non, non! Je n'en veux pas mais j'ai soif horrible. Manchette, va chercher de l'eau cerise." "Oui, madame," replied Manchette, rising from her seat.
With lips too seared to articulate, they would try to speak and one could occasionally catch an indistinct "de l'eau," or a half-formed "Merci, chère Soeur," but never a moan or a groan.
But the rows of shops began again in the Avenue de la Grotte. They swarmed on both sides; and among them here were jewellers, drapers, and umbrella-makers, who also dealt in religious articles. There was even a confectioner who sold boxes of pastilles a l'eau de Lourdes, with a figure of the Virgin on the cover.
Grez for that is our destination has been highly recommended for its beauty. "Il y a de l'eau," people have said, with an emphasis, as if that settled the question, which, for a French mind, I am rather led to think it does. And Grez, when we get there, is indeed a place worthy of some praise.
