We shall sail around the east end of the lake and along the south shore."
I'd have given a month's pay to have been within ear-shot of La Durantaye when he got the order. La Valterie told me about it afterward. 'What's this? he says, 'follow the trail? I'll go to the devil first. There's a better place for my bones than this pest-ridden country. He calls to Du Luth: 'Hear this, Du Luth.
I remember that I was haunted by two lines of French verse; in some dumb way they seemed to fit my surroundings and give expression to the contentment that was in me, and I kept repeating to myself 'Mon coeur est un luth suspendu, Sitot qu'on le touche, il resonne.
