Sur le coteau, la-bas ou sont les tombes, Un beau palmier, comme un panache vert, Dresse sa tete, ou le soir les colombes Viennent nicher et se mettre a couvert, Mais le matin elles quittent les branches; Comme un collier qui s'egrene, on les voit S'eparpiller dans Fair bleu, toutes blanches, Et se poser plus loin sur quelque toil.
"Tenez, camarade," said Jacques' voice in my ear; "a moi la porte a vous le maitre, la-bas:" and he pointed down the staircase, where, by the glare of the conflagration that beat past us, I saw the figures of Sir Deakin and his daughter standing. "But how can you keep the door against a dozen?" The Frenchman shrugg'd his shoulders with a smile "Mais-comme ca!"

At the entrance there were ten servants in gorgeous livery, and a huissier who rattled his mace down on the pavement as each guest passed.
That is what fed the anxious hearts of the waiting people, details of the large, heroic picture that France was creating so near at hand, la-bas. There were few occasions for popular gatherings. The taste for "demonstrations" of any sort had gone out of the people.
Jessica would have torn her frock for a bandage, but Perrot said in his broken English: "No, pardon. Not so. The cloak la-bas." She ran and brought it to him. As she did so Perrot glanced down at her feet, and then, with a touch of humour, said: "Pardon, but you have lost your slipper, ma'm'selle?" He foresaw the little comedy, which he could enjoy even in such painful circumstances.

I told her she had no strength for the journey; but she would go: there was no moving her from that. She had rich friends la-bas, who might help her husband. It was for that she went. That thought seemed to give her a kind of fever, and the strength of fever." "And there has come no letter nothing?" "Nothing, mademoiselle." On this Cydalise determined to return to Beaubocage.
The woman who had spoken to me said, "I heard a horse's hoofs upon the bridge, la-bas." Then she went away with her apron over her head. Thomas and I walked each side of the officer, giving him an arm. He could not walk straight, and his legs played freakish tricks with him.
