Susie could have kissed the hard paving stones of the quay. Her good-natured, plain face lit up as she realized the delight of the scene upon which her eyes rested; and it was with a little pang, her mind aglow with characters and events from history and from fiction, that she turned away to enter Dr Porhoët's house. She was pleased that the approach did not clash with her fantasies.
Pelle was just going to push it down into the straw when the bailiff who as a matter of fact was not a Jute, but a Zeelander happened to turn round and caught sight of it.
