M. le Maire made a speech, which Audibert, who still had Paine in charge, translated. Paine laid his hand on his heart, bowed, and assured the municipality that his life should be devoted to their service. In the evening, the club held a meeting in the Salle des Minimes. The hall was jammed.
I persuaded the maire to make an effort to reach a point from which he could see the insecurity of the ice which had seemed to form so solid a floor; and he was so much impressed by what he saw, that he fled with precipitation from the cave, and we eventually found him asleep under a bush on the rocks above.

Since this morning there is something very strange on the other side of the gates. If M. le Maire would listen to me, he would keep them shut night and day till that is gone, he would not go out into the midst of it.
Fantine awaited M. Madeleine's appearance every day as one awaits a ray of warmth and joy. She said to the sisters, "I only live when Monsieur le Maire is here."

It must be especially mentioned in the proces verbal." "Well, this is becoming too ludicrous," said I.

'Do not send me away, M. le Maire, he said, 'I dare not stay by myself with them so near. Instead of his money, in which he had trusted, it was I who had become his god now. There are few who have not heard something of the sufferings of a siege. Whether within or without, it is the most terrible of all the experiences of war.

Madeleine made an imperceptible movement. "And how long will the case last?" "One day, at the most. The judgment will be pronounced to-morrow evening at latest.
They sang, they shouted, the music swept about all the walls: 'Love brings us back to earth, believe us!
