The muleteer became voluble, patting Maryette on one arm and then on the other: "J’ai vue Jack Burley, mamzelle, toot a l’heure! Il est bien, savvy voo! Il est tray, tray bien! Bocoo de trou! N’importe! Il va tray bien! Savvy voo? Jack Burley, l’ami de voo! Comprenny? On va le guerir toot sweet! Wee! Wee! Wee!
"Mademoiselle, the caterpillar which makes this chrysalis feeds by night on the leaves of the potato, and, when ready to transform, burrows into the earth to become a chrysalis or pupa, as we call it. That iss why mademoiselle has often disinterred the pupæ of this largest and strangest of our native sphinx-moths." Maryette leaned over and looked into the wooden box, where lay the chrysalides.
"Yes." "You mean somewhere alone with you?" "Will you, Maryette?" "But why? I am not yet old enough for such foolishness. It would not amuse me at all to be alone with you for an hour." She pouted and shrugged and absently plucked a hollow stem from the sedge. "It would amuse me much more to sit here and blow bubbles," she added, clearing the stem with a quick breath and soaping the end of it.
She said: "Very well, then, children require toys to amuse them, not sighs and kisses and bold, brown eyes to frighten and perplex them. Have you any toys to amuse me if I give you an hour with me?" "Maryette, I can easily teach you " "No! Will you bring me a toy to amuse me? a clay pipe to blow bubbles? I adore bubbles." "If I promise to amuse you, will you give me an hour?" he asked.
The driver of the last ambulance seemed to be ill; his head lay on the shoulder of a Sister of Charity who had taken the steering wheel. The gendarme beside Maryette signalled her to stop; then he got out of the market cart and, lifting the body of the American muleteer in his powerful arms, strode across the road. The airman leaped from the market cart and followed him.
"... Now, Maryette, put one arm around my neck, and me and the Kid will take you down them stairs, because you look tired kind o’ peeked and fussed, what with all this funny business going on " "Oh, Steek! Steek!" she sobbed. "Oh, mon ami, Steek!" She began to cry bitterly. Smith picked her up in his arms. "What you need is sleep," he said very gently.
But how can you answer me, you who lie there all alone in a hospital at Nice? Also, I am ashamed of myself for doubting the unfortunate young man. I am too happy to doubt anybody, perhaps. And so good night, my Djack. Sleep sweetly, guarded by powerful angels. Thy devoted, MARYETTE. She had been writing in the deserted café. Now she took a candle and went slowly upstairs.
He hangs there through hundreds of years he has spoken with his great voice of God! so that they heard him for miles and miles across the land " "Maryette I am so sorry for you " "Oh! Oh! My carillon of Nivelle! My beloved carillon!" "Maryette, dear! My little Carillonnette " "No my heart is broken " "Vooz ates tray, tray belle "
"Oh, la!" she exclaimed with a shrug of her youthful shoulders. "Perhaps you think I have time for such foolishness what with housework to do and washing, and caring for my father, and my duties in the belfry every day!" "Youth passes swiftly, belle Maryette." "Imitate him, beau monsieur, and swiftly pass your way!" "L’amour est doux, petite Marie!" "Je m’en moque!"
"My quill, Maryette," he muttered, " see if it floats yet?" The girl bent over the water and strained her eyes. Her father tested the line with shaky hands. There was no fish on the hook. "Voyons! The asticot also is gone. Some robber fish has been nibbling!" exclaimed the girl cheerfully, reeling in the line. "Father, one cannot fish and doze at the same time."
