And we are going to lay you in the earth of France, which has engulfed a noble and innumerable army of martyrs. The shadow of the trees sweeps like a huge sickle across space. An acrid smell of cold decay rises on the night. The wind wails its threnody for Fumat. "Open the door, Monsieur Julien." The lout pushes the door, grumbling to himself. We lay the body on the pavement of the chapel.
"Aristide Le Bihan," I said angrily, "and you, Max Fortin, I've got enough of this nonsense! Some foolish lout from Bannalec has been in St. Gildas playing tricks to frighten old fools like you. If you have nothing better to talk about than nursery legends I'll wait until you come to your senses. Good-morning." And I walked out, more disturbed than I cared to acknowledge to myself.
A mother, a son, and a daughter; an old woman said to be half-witted, a country lout, and a country girl, who stands very high with her confessor, and is, therefore," chuckled the physician, "most likely plain; there is not much in that to attract the fancy of a dashing officer." "And yet you say they are high-born," I objected. "Well, as to that, I should distinguish," returned the doctor.
"What are those boys at, I wonder?" she said. "There's that big lout of a Wigglesworth boy. He's up to no good, I bet you." "Oh, a kids' row of some kind or ither, a doot," said the youth. "Come along." "He's hurting someone," said Annette, starting down the lane. "What? I believe it's that poor child, Steve Wickes."
'Do you think me, he asked, under his breath, 'a mere ignorant lout, who has to be shamed before he knows what's manly and what isn't? Do you think because I'm a manufacturer, and the son of one, that I've no thought or feeling above my trade?
With frank regret, "I'm so sorry. I thought it was early." "Yes, it did seem as if I'd just come," said Sam. Her shy innocence was contagious. He felt an awkward country lout. "Well, I suppose I must go." "But you'll come again sometime?" she asked wistfully.
Assured by this speech, Rondeau turned, and kissing Aunt Dilsey herself, was off just in time to escape a basin of hot suds which that highly-scandalized lady hurled after him. "I’ll tell marster this minute," said she, "and see if he hain’t got nothin’ to set the lazy lout a-doin’." So saying, the old lady waddled into the house, and going upstairs, knocked at Dr. Lacey’s door.
"You really married this lout?" she demanded. "I told you I was married," said Kate, patiently, for she saw that Nancy Ellen was irresponsible with anger. "You're going to live with him, you're going to stay in Walden to live?" she cried. "That is my plan at present," said Kate. "Well, see that YOU STAY THERE," said Nancy Ellen.
The timidity in him was strange in such a man. What could it spring from? It was not like ordinary shyness, the gaucherie of a big, awkward lout unaccustomed to woman's society but able to be at his ease and boisterous in the midst of a crowd of men. Domini thought that he would be timid even of men. Yet it never struck her that he might be a coward, unmanly.
In earlier days when he was a shoemaker the beggars took no notice of him, now they wouldn't let him pass. And at home his new wife, the lady, was waiting for him, dressed in a green blouse and a red skirt. He meant to be attentive to her, and had just lifted his arm to give her a good clout on the back, but she said angrily: "Peasant! Ignorant lout! You don't know how to behave with ladies!
