They walked toward it, and Jeanne tried to think how she could begin. They sat down in the arbor, and then, as if she were confessing herself, she said: "Father " then hesitated, and repeated: "Father " and was silent from emotion. He waited, his hands crossed over his paunch.
Then, nerving himself to the effort, he set off at a little, waddling gait, which shook his fat paunch and made the whole detachment laugh till they cried. "Bravo, bravo, Maloison!" they shouted for his encouragement. He had accomplished about two-thirds of his journey when a long, crimson flame shot forth from the vent-hole.
It was the habit of the former when not on military duty to thrust his hands deep down into his trousers pockets, and allow his ample and aldermanic paunch to repose its weight upon his sabre-belt.
The haberdasher remained silent, with his eyes on his fat paunch, and his hands hanging at his sides, and the mayor continued: "Do you deny what the officer of the municipal authorities states?" "No, monsieur." "So you confess it?" "Yes, monsieur." "What have you to say in your defence?" "Nothing, monsieur." "Where did you meet the partner in your misdemeanor?" "She is my wife, monsieur."
So saying, he turned a look of most droll expression upon the monk, and began the following ditty, to the air of "Saint Patrick was a Gentleman": What an illegant life a friar leads, With a fat round paunch before him! He mutters a prayer and counts his beads, And all the women adore him.
Caroline bows to a fat gentleman with thin gray hair, who follows this Paris Andalusian, and who exhibits a face and paunch fit for Silenus, a butter-colored pate, a deceitful, libertine smile upon his big, heavy lips, in short, a philosopher! Caroline looks upon this individual with astonishment. "Monsieur Foullepointe, my dear," says Adolphe, presenting the worthy quinquagenarian. "Madame !"
"Good morning, gendarme; good morning, paunch of gall and wisdom," he said, giving a little slap to the stomachs of his two visitors. "We have business to talk over, and, faith! we'll do it glass in hand; that's the true way to take things." "If you do your business that way, you ought to be fatter than you are," said Rigou.
Carol was exceeding sick. Her herald from the outside was Erik Valborg, "Elizabeth." Apprentice tailor! Gasoline and hot goose! Mending dirty jackets! Respectfully holding a tape-measure about a paunch! And yet, she insisted, this boy was also himself. They had Sunday dinner with the Smails, in a dining-room which centered about a fruit and flower piece and a crayon-enlargement of Uncle Whittier.
What really matters is that Harmony, having settled the dispute and clinched the decision by running over the score for a page or two, turned to find the Portier, ecstatic eyes upturned, hands folded on paunch, enjoying a delirium of pleasure, and the sentry nowhere in sight.
Presently they sat down in the shade of a banyan tree by the side of a road and along the road came a Raja's wedding procession; when Kara and Guja saw this they climbed into the tree and took the tiger's paunch up with them. The wedding party came to a halt at the foot of the tree and some of them lay down to eat and the Raja got out of his palki and lay down to sleep in the shade.
