"Ah! then the Lord will bring the fires. But the Lord bring the priests! The Lord shut up the preches and set up the mass? The Lord burn His poor servants, and clothe the servants of Satan in gold and scarlet? The Lord forbid His Word, and set up images? Comment, Mademoiselle! It would not be possible." "But, Lucette, the King has the right."
As this time I was scolded by Lucette's mother for my great carelessness, we decided to go immediately and rescue the book. We organized a search party, and at the head of it went a servant who carried a stable-lantern; Lucette and I walked behind him.
This farm is the first place they will come to, while they will never suspect mine, and my good woman Lucette will be proud to keep watch for her. Madame knows that the place is full of shrubs and thickets, where one half of an army might spend a fine day in looking for the other. 'And at night you will get together the men and convoy me? asked Eustacie, eagerly. 'All in good time, Madame.
Eustacie was already tying her cloak, and asking for Lucette; but she was grieved to hear that Martin had sent her to vespers to disarm suspicion, and moreover that he meant not to tell her of his new device. 'The creature is honest enough, he said, 'but the way to be safe with women is not to let them know.
With no one else have I ever laughed so heartily as with Lucette, and we usually roared over things that no one except ourselves could possibly have considered funny. Over and above the bond of little brother and grown sister there was between us a sympathy springing from our appreciation of the ridiculous, and our notions of what constituted fun were in complete accord.
He halted under the lee of a barn, and gave a low whistle. At the sound, Lucette, a brown, sturdy young woman with a red handkerchief over her head, and another over her shoulders, came running round the corner of the barn, and whispered eagerly under her breath, 'Ah! Madame, Madame, what an honour! kissing Eustacie's hand with all her might as she spoke; 'but, alas!
I go all the time, and Lucette Dargois, she go with me and her brother holy, what an eye had she in her head, that Lucette! As we go we sing a song all right, and there is no one sing so better as Norinne: "'C'est la belle Francoise, Allons gai! C'est la belle Francoise, Qui veut se marier, Ma luron lurette! Qui veut se marier, Ma luron lure! "Ver' good, bagosh!
Turning for a moment toward the boy who now was in a deep sleep, he looked at him intently. Presently he spoke. "Ever since I married you and Lucette Barbond, you have stood in the way of her duty, Bagot. How well I remember that first day when you knelt before me! Was ever so sweet and good a girl with her golden eyes and the look of summer in her face, and her heart all pure!
And the wooden bench is still there, where the lovers used to sit; only Monsieur, her father, tells me that François works very late in the big city, three mouths to feed now, you see, and only when le petit François is tucked away in his crib in the long summer nights, and Lucette has washed the dishes and put on her best apron, and the Bronx stops still in a quiet pool to listen, is the bench used as in the old time when Monsieur discovered the lovers by the flash of his lantern.
Lucette, under her mother's direction, was putting the finishing touches to a piece of needle work, and, on the rather worn-out piano, I was playing, with the soft pedal down, one of Rameau's dances; the old-fashioned music sounded exquisite to me as it mingled with the noise of the great thunder claps.
