For even as Anne recoiled thunderstruck, the old woman lifted the huge marmite, half-full and steaming as it was, to the ledge of the window, steadied it there an instant, and then, with the gleaming eyes and set pale face of an avenging prophetess, thrust it forth. A second they gazed at one another with suspended breath.
See, I've ordered Petite Marmite, and afterward an artichoke, and all the nice fattening things that Nancy won't let me eat." "I wish you'd tell me about Nancy," Caroline said. "It makes a lot of difference. You haven't any idea how much difference it makes." "See the nice little brown pots with the soup in them," Billy implored her. "Cheese, too, all grated up so fine and white.
The glitter of accouterments, the contents of open knapsacks, the skins of animals just killed for the marmite, the boughs of pines broken for firewood, strewed the ground.
"I am a pastry cook," he went on; "my specialty is Saint-Denis apple tarts." A marmite intended for the road landed in the river as he spoke. "Have you ever had one? They are very good when made with fresh cream." He sighed. "How did you get wounded?" said I. "Éclat d'obus," he replied, as if that were the whole story. After a pause he added, "Douaumont yesterday."
Our little group remained, not standing in the trench but back of it, in full relief for some time; for the German gunners refused to play for realism by sending us a marmite. Probably they had seen us through the telescope at the start and concluded we weren't worth a shot.
As soon as darkness came he would creep out and crawl on his belly across the swampy ground to a deep hole dug by the explosion of a marmite quite close to the German lines.
The end is a pit called La Marmite du Grand Gueulard, the muckle-mouthed giant's kettle. In the spring, when the snow is melting, the Tunkelbach hurls all its waters into it, a depth of two hundred feet. There is an awful uproar; the waters dash down and then splash up again and fall in spray on all the hills around.
