Go and light my wife's fire, she's cold'; and then, didn't I feel silly when he held out his hand and gave me a six-franc piece, which isn't worn one bit? Just look at it, madame! Oh, the kind man!

I did as she advised me, and this time my request was favourably received. The priest seized the six-franc piece which I laid on the table, looked at me and said, "Do you wish me to say six?" "No," I replied, with a feeling of indignation which I could hardly repress "No, sir, I only want three. Return to me the rest of the money; poor folks cannot afford to spend so much at once."

Send Jeremie to Corentin no, stay, the wretch would follow me send to the commandant; ask him from me for some six-franc crowns."

The duke was enchanted, for he doubtless expected a volley of stones, and he placed a six-franc piece in the hand of each of the wretches.
By this time we had reached a village called Bouvigny. We were so tired that our legs were as stiff as stakes, and for a long while we had needed a great deal of courage to take a single step. We were certain that the Prussians were no longer near, and as I had money we went into an inn and asked for a bed. I took out a six-franc piece in order to let them see that we could pay.
