She sang snatches of Offenbach and Verdi, she beat the eggs while Poussette made up his fire, and when he squeezed her hand or put his fat arm around her waist she did not prudishly push him away, but, gently resisting, rebuked him in such affectionate terms that he politely restrained those damaging caresses.
I shall drive them over." The younger man smiled faintly. It was necessary at times to restrain M. Poussette. He pulled him back now, but gently, from the slippery rock. "In the summer yes, of course, I see that. I see that it is needed then. The rest of the year " "The rest of the year! Bigosh excusez, I tell you, it is needed all the year round.
Poussette, who had never meant any harm either in the case of Miss Clairville or Miss Cordova, appeared to be considerably impressed by the events of a certain winter, and after the arrival of Maisie and Jack treated them as his own and gave up the idea of a divorce.
This Magloire or Murray Carson, as he was known in Topeka, Kansas, had numbered the young Poussette among his hearers some ten years before when on tour in his native country in the interests of a Socialistic order. The exodus of French Canadians to the neighbouring "States" is frequently followed by a change of name, so that, M. Lapierre or St. Pierre becomes Mr. Stone, M. Dupont Mr.
You Poussette have been no exception to this rule in the past you know the habit of life to which I refer and now here is this new trial, this new difficulty about your wife. Even were I able to do anything for you because it is a lawyer, a notary you require, not a minister I could have nothing to do with your marrying again. That I must tell you plainly is out of the question.
Renaud now called on the minister and Poussette to make haste; he had been delayed by the accident to Miss Cordova and already large flat flakes were falling. "Just the size of half-dollars, eh? The idea is, Poussette, to bring madame home; that is to say, the curé's idea, but he's gone off with another woman. I suppose you are jealous now, of this one I mean, not the other." "Not me, much.
Come make me the promise now and if you break it, as you may do, come to me and tell me of it; make it a second time and so each interval may be longer, do you see if you 'take the pledge' as it is called, it is likely to be in public, and your friends and fellow-drinkers hear about it, and ridicule you and laugh at the idea, and so you are driven to drink again. What do you say, Poussette?"
"Yes, and because you have no children to think about. If you had you'd understand. While Schenk's alive he may find me any day in New York, but I don't believe he'd ever think of looking for me here. My mother'd know how to send the children along, I guess, and they'd always have enough to eat and drink, and fresh air and a place to play in, and I'm sure Mr. Poussette would be kind to them.
But, but well, I may just as well out with it. Mr. Poussette has proposed!" "To you?" Miss Cordova stopped in her work. "Yes. He seems to be serious and I like it here, like him too, so I guess we'll fix it up somehow. Of course his wife's living, but she's not right in her head, so she don't count."
Poussette, for I see that you'll miss me when I'm gone, and that's not a bad idea about your children. I hope I'll never have any; I'd be afraid, I'd be afraid. Well, I'll accept the umbrella then, in memoriam if you like. And you take the white dress, and these long yellow gloves, and this sash for Maisie, and here's a bijou imitation watch and chain for Jack eh? What's the matter?"
