Roussel sat down to the piano. Musa tuned his fiddle. "From what appears," murmured Monsieur Foa to nobody in particular, with an ecstatic expectant smile on his face, "this Musa is all that is most amazing."

As he begged me to sing him a little song, I hummed Cadet Roussel, which he did not know; the "three hairs" made him laugh till the tears ran down his cheeks, but he paid dearly for this excess of gayety. When I rose to leave he was seized with a paroxysm of weeping, and I had much trouble in consoling him. I repent having excited him so much.

My regiment was at the head of Wathiez's brigade and had behind it the 24th Chasseurs. The 11th Hussars were in the rear.

And at the potent voice of Maximian Roussel the offender was pushed silently into the seat he had risen from, and Bonaventure gave the word again. "In-com-pre-hen-si-ca-bil-i-ty!" And Sidonie, blushing like fire, returned to the task: "I-n, een" She bit her lip and trembled. "Right! Right! Tremble not, my Sidonie! fear naught! yo' loving school-teacher is at thy side!"
"Now that the three branches of the Roussel family are extinct, who remains? Don Luis Perenna. In default of the natural heirs, who inherits the property? Don Luis Perenna." "Lucky dog!" "That's what people are saying, Chief.
How so? 'That is to say, not to you; but, saving that, you owe him great gratitude, answered old Roussel." "Let us see; explain yourself a little more clearly," said Germain, smiling. "That is exactly what I said to the keeper: 'Do speak more clearly. Then he answered, 'It is not Germain, but his pretty little visitor, who has been full of kindness for your sister.

Madame's shoulders went up to her ears in a heave of disgust: "Thou mayest as well know it, Marie: Léon Roussel is promised to Elise Lesage, and they were together in the market. See what thy folly has caused!" But Marie scarcely heard her mother's reproaches.
