"It is a pity that the little girl is not here," he said in annoyance. "But she is here," replied the manager, making a sign to Perrine to approach. "Why was it you did not go back to Maraucourt, girl?" he asked. "I thought that I ought not to leave here until you told me to go back," she replied. "That was quite right," he said. "You must be here waiting for me when I come...."
But can you find the way?" "Yes, it's easy enough. Oh, mother," she added, as she was going out, "there are such a lot of wagons outside; they have printed on them 'Maraucourt Factories, and beneath that the name, 'Vulfran Paindavoine. There are all kinds of barrels and things in the carts. Such a number!" "There is nothing remarkable in that, my child," said the woman.
I cannot recover my sight unless I am operated upon and I must be in a calm state favorable to the success of this operation. When my son learns this do you think he will hesitate to leave this woman? I am willing to support her and her daughter also. I am sure many times he has thought of Maraucourt and wanted to return. If I love him I know that he also loves me.
The call was so imperative that they all ran to the office together. "You are there?" asked the blind man; "Talouel, Theodore and Casimir?" All three replied together. "I have just learned of the death of my son," said their employer. "Stop work in all the factories immediately. Tomorrow the funeral services will be held in the churches at Maraucourt, Saint-Pipoy and all the other villages."
From Amiens she would go to Boulogne, and as she had learned also to calculate distances, she thought that to Maraucourt it ought to be about one hundred and fifty-eight miles. But could she do all those miles, regularly ... go on day after day? She knew that to walk four or five miles by chance on one day was a very different matter to taking a long, continuous journey like she was contemplating.
This was the call for the factory hands who lived in Maraucourt, and the other whistles repeated the summons to work from village to village, St. Pipoy, Harcheux, Racour, Flexelles, in all the Paindavoine factories, announcing to the owner of the vast works that everywhere, at the same time, his factories were calling to his employés to be ready for the day's work.
I was also thinking of both of us, but mostly of you, mama, because you are sick. And I was thinking of our arrival at Maraucourt. Everybody has laughed at our wagon as we came along, and I am afraid if we go to Maraucourt with it we shall not get much of a welcome. If our relations are very proud, they'll be humiliated.
"Monsieur Vulfran did not only ask me to take charge of your education but to take a personal interest in you; that is why I give you this advice." "Please, Mademoiselle, explain to me what I ought to do," said Perrine; "I don't understand at all what this advice means, and I am very nervous." "Although you have not been very long at Maraucourt," said Mlle.
The tyrant who wanted to be everything in the works, not only at Maraucourt, but at Saint-Pipoy, at Bacourt, at Flexelles, everywhere, and who would employ any means to uphold his authority, even disputing it with that of Monsieur Vulfran's. "I ask you what Monsieur Fabry has been doing?" he asked, lowering his voice. "I cannot tell you because I do not know myself.
She knew that she ought to be filled with joy and yet here she was greatly worried and hesitating. Just near the church she found Mme. Lachaise's shop. It was by far the best shop in Maraucourt. In the window there was a fine display of materials, ribbons, lingerie, hats, jewels, perfumes, which aroused the envy and tempted the greed of all the frivolous girls throughout the surrounding villages.
