"So us thought us had done with both of them, and a good riddance too; but when t' spring opened t' Frenchman wrote up to t' English man-o'-war captain to come in and find out about t' things what they'd lost. So one day in comes t' big ship and anchors right alongside in our bay. T' very first man to come rowing across and go aboard to see what he could get, I reckon, was Louis Marteau.
"The seals and the bears are our worst enemies, sir," said Marteau, in the course of conversation. "Indeed! and which of the two are worst?" inquired Jack. "Another slice of pork, Ladoc, your appetite appears to be sharp this morning; thank you, go on, Marteau, you were saying something about the bears and seals." "It's not easy to say which of them is worst, sir.
"Putois was born in the second half of the nineteenth century, at Saint-Omer. He would have been better off if he had been born some centuries before in the forest of Arden or in the forest of Brocéliande. He would then have been a remarkably clever evil spirit." "A cup of tea, Monsieur Goubin," said Pauline. "Was Putois, then, an evil spirit?" said Jean Marteau.
At the foot of the rapid, Marteau and one of the men happened to be rowing ashore with a load of fish. "Hallo! what's that?" cried Marteau. "Eh!" exclaimed his comrade. "A bear!" shouted Marteau, backing his oar. "And a man! What! I say!" "Pull! pull!" Next moment the boat was dancing on the foam, and Marteau had hold of the bear's neck with one hand, and Jack's hair with the other.
First, Cruce, Marteau, and Bussy had complained of the inaction of the Duc de Guise. Marteau was spokesman, and said, "M. de Mayneville, you come on the part of M. le Duc de Guise, and we accept you as his ambassador; but the presence of the duke himself is indispensable.
Let us suppose one thing," replied the duke "let us suppose, for instance, that my maitre d'hotel, Noirmont, has purchased the shop of Pere Marteau " "Well?" said La Ramee, shuddering. "Well, La Ramee, who is a gourmand, sees his pates, thinks them more attractive than those of Pere Marteau and proposes to me that I shall try them. I consent on condition that La Ramee tries them with me.
There is, to be sure, a new review wide open to me, which is published by very fine people, but it is more widely read in other countries than in France, and you will find perhaps that an article in that would not excite comment. It is the Revue universelle directed by Amedee Marteau. Discuss that with Charles Edmond.
"Well, shall I send for some breakfast here?" "No, my lord; I must tell you that the confectioner who lived opposite the castle Daddy Marteau, as they called him " "Well?" "Well, he sold his business a week ago to a confectioner from Paris, an invalid, ordered country air for his health." "Well, what have I to do with that?"
One of t' officers, thinking that the man was just a fisherman, and as simple as most o' we, asked him if he didn't know where a man called Louis Marteau was. 'Yes," said Louis, 'I knows he well. He be here to-day, and gone to-morrow' and with that he slips away, and was far enough in the woods for safety long before the searching party landed.
And there are other sketches in this book, more or less slight, but all worthy of regard the childhood's recollections of Professor Bergeret and his sister Zoe; the dialogue of the two upright judges and the conversation of their horses; the dream of M. Jean Marteau, aimless, extravagant, apocalyptic, and of all the dreams one ever dreamt, the most essentially dreamlike.
