His dinner this time was better than theirs. The soup was like dish-water, the rabbit had a bad smell, the kidney-beans were underdone, the plates were dirty, and at dessert Bouvard burst into a passion and threatened to break everything on Marcel's head. "Let us be philosophers," said Pécuchet. "A little less money, the intrigues of a woman, the clumsiness of a servant what is it but this?
There was the wardrobe open, with Marcel's Sunday suit hanging on the peg; here were the two stools, the little image of the Virgin on the wall. But here was also something else, so out of place in the chamber of a page that I pinched myself to make sure it was real. At my elbow on the pallet lay a box of some fine foreign wood, beautifully grained by God and polished by grateful man.
And her laugh came again as she flung her final taunt. "Indian man say him love An-ina?" she cried. "Indian man not come fetch her quick? Indian man say him not leave mother for An-ina? Then An-ina spit at him." It was the savage breaking through the years of simple culture. The appeal of it all was beyond Marcel's power to resist.
With Etienne Marcel's death all hope of a constitutional life died out from France; the Dauphin entered Paris and set his foot on the conquered liberties of his country.
But say, as you value your life and Marcel's and my peace of mind don't shift that mask a hair's breadth, no matter how you feel looking around. When you come out you can tell me about things." He set the door ajar, and leading the girl by the hand Marcel passed into the house of death. Steve stood guard. He listened with straining ears.

You'll help him, my dear, won't you? You're just Marcel's mother, and if I don't get back you'll need to be his father, too. Good-bye." An-ina made no reply. She had listened to him with a heart that was overflowing. As he said "good-bye" she turned her head, and the speechlessness of their farewell was deep with simple human passion. A moment later they had moved apart. It was Steve's initiative.
In a moment a great laugh broke, through the shadow of disappointment that had fallen upon Marcel's eyes at the other's first words. "You can just kick me, Uncle Steve," he cried. "You surely can. Guess I'm every sort of crazy fool, trying to tell you the thing that's Keeko's to tell. But I didn't think," he added, passing a hand across his forehead. "I don't seem to be able to just now.
You'll come right along up here with the break of winter, and we'll " "I certainly will." Keeko's youth was no less than Marcel's. Her eyes were without any shyness. She looked into his fearlessly, and read without shame all that they expressed. She was glad. Her heart was full of a delight of which even parting could not rob her.
He was always fearful of possible approach. A moment's thoughtlessness on the part of An-ina, on the part of his Indians, and the mischief would be done. Even there was always the risk of Marcel's return, and the attraction of the light of the lamp through the window. He dared not for his own sake bar the door. There was always the risk of his mask failing him. He completed his operation.
