When Sabot entered the inn at Martinville it was a signal for laughter. What a rogue he was, this Sabot! There was a man who did not like priests, for instance! Oh, no, oh, no! He did not spare them, the scamp. He was a tall, thin, than, with gray, cunning eyes, and thin lips, and wore his hair plastered down on his temples.
Here and there occurred considerable patches of herbage, called sabot, and many large, fine trees. Amongst the smaller ones, for the first time, we came upon the senna plant, some of the leaves of which our people plucked. Higher up, in Aheer, is apparently the native soil of this plant.
"Twice?" repeated Sabot. "Yes." The priest smiled. "You understand perfectly that you must have a general cleaning up, a thorough cleansing. So I will expect you to-morrow." The carpenter, much agitated, asked: "Where do you do that?" "Why in the confessional." "In that box, over there in the corner? The fact is is that it does not suit me, your box." "How is that?"
I will resume: "'Others' goods thou shalt not take Nor keep what is not thine. "Have you ever taken in any way what belonged to another?" But Theodule Sabot became indignant. "Of course not, of course not! I am an honest man, m'sieu le cure, I swear it, for sure. To say that I have not sometimes charged for a few more hours of work to customers who had means, I could not say that.
Sector of Souain: The German lines round about Souain described a wide curve. Close to the French trenches, to the west at the Mill and to the east at the wood of Sabot, they swerved to the extent of about a mile to the north of the village and of the source of the Ain.
But Sabot was silent, not knowing where to begin. The abbe then came to his aid. "My child, I will ask you questions, since you don't seem familiar with these things. We will take, one by one, the commandments of God. Listen to me and do not be disturbed. Speak very frankly and never fear that you may say too much. "'One God alone, thou shalt adore, And love him perfectly.
Even this is not enough. He adds a third figure, not gathering the ear, but about to do so, standing, but stooped forward and bounded by one great, almost uninterrupted curve from the peak of the cap over her eyes to the heel which half slips out of the sabot, and the thing is done. The whole day's work is resumed in that one moment.
We had also again the adwa, several trees, and the kaiou or kremka, the only plant we have yet seen with a truly tropical aspect. The adwa bears a fruit something like the date, and is eaten by the people in Soudan. As to the sabot, above mentioned, it is a kind of herbage, which covers the beds of the valleys in this region of primitive rock: it forms the principal food of our camels.
He stopped a few seconds, for breath, and then resumed in a calmer tone: "I can understand that it pains you to see a work of such importance entrusted to a carpenter from a neighboring parish. But I cannot do otherwise, unless but no it is impossible you would not consent, and unless you did, never." Sabot now looked at the row of benches in line as far as the entrance door.
That would be well worth the two thousand francs that had been demanded of the church administration. Theodule Sabot could not sleep for thinking about it. Never, in all the memory of man, had a country carpenter undertaken a similar piece of work.
