Yet he left France with his self-respect restored, and he even waved her a fond adieu, as the creaking Antoine broke heavily into the waters of the Bay of Biscay, while he cried: "My little ship, It bears me far From lights of home To alien star. O vierge Marie, Pour moi priez Dieu! Adieu, dear land, Provence, adieu."
This last small advance cost the British more casualties than all the other operations during the two days' fighting. Meanwhile the Allied troops the French on the south, the British on the north made steady progress in hemming in Combles. The French increased their gains by storming Le Priez Farm and against severe attacks held their gains north and south of Bouchavesnes.
Market women returning to their cottage homes after a long day's chaffering disposal of their fruit, vegetable, and flower- wares in the town, paused in their slow trudge along the dusty road and crossed themselves devoutly, a bargeman, lazily gliding down the river on his flat unwieldly craft, took his pipe from his mouth, lifted his cap mechanically, and muttered more from habit than reflection "Sainte Marie, Mere de Dieu, priez pour nous!" and some children running out of school, came to a sudden standstill, listening and glancing at each other, as though silently questioning whether they should say the old church-formula among themselves or no?
Priez pour nous. It was a sad little place, very neglected and lonely, and yet it was nice, Anthea thought, that poor travellers should come to this little rest-house in the hurry and worry of their journeyings and be quiet for a few minutes, and think about being good.
Antoinette, priez le gentilhomme de 'asseoir." The leetle gal offered me a stool, but I didn't set down. "Mounseer," said I, in some French manufactured for the occasion, "I havey broughtee you sommey oysteries," and I showed him the kittle, with the kiver off. I thought his eyes kind of vatered at the sight, but he sighed, and turnin' to the leetle gal, said,

On the 17th they completed their work in Berny and Vermandovillers south of the Somme, and on the 18th added Deniécourt.
A mon tour, aujourd'hui, bienheureuse Marie, Je tombe a vos genoux; Daignez donc m'ecouter, car c'est vous que je prie, Vous qui priez pour nous. Which may be thus interpreted: O Virgin blest! by whom the bitter draught So often has been quaffed, That, for thy sorrow, thou art named by us The Mother Dolorous!
"That is very sad, Therese; a Christian woman much less well provided for than this pagan, Hamilcar here! what does she have to say?" "Monsieur, I never speak to those people; I don't know what she says or what she sings. But she sings all day long; I hear her from the stairway whenever I am going out or coming in."

There were some very disagreeable people with him; and he once affected me very much by turning suddenly to me, and grasping my hand and saying: "The blister I have tried for my breath has betrayed some very bad tokens; but I will not terrify myself by talking of them. Ah! priez Dieu pour moi." Mme.
"O Marie," they ended, "conçue sans péché, priez pour nous qui avons recours a vous!" As I dressed again after the bath, I had one more sight of the young man. He was being led out by a kindly attendant, but his face was all distorted with crying, and from his blind eyes ran down a stream of terrible tears.
