Three years before, Mrs. Gray had come to the Souris Valley, and settled on the hill farm. It had been owned by a prospector, who once in a while lived on it, but went away for long periods, when it was believed he had gone north into that great unknown land of fabled riches.
Turning toward her, he approached, ashamed of having struck her, but feeling in the bottom of his heart as a husband, a relentless hatred toward this woman who had deceived the former husband, Souris. A white-haired old man begged us for alms. My companion, Joseph Davranche, gave him five francs.
"Just listen here's Rossini's 'Barbier de Seville, and Grieg's 'Anitra's Dance' from the 'Peer Gynt Suite, and here's that most entrancing 'Barcarolle' from the 'Contes d'Hoffman' you remember it?"

The process termed by Chalks 'working the growler' was of ancient institution in the Café des Souris; and I believe it is not unknown in other seats of learning a custom handed down from generation to generation of students, which, like politeness, costing little, yields generous returns.
We hesitated for a time between "Le Gris" and "Souris," two much-vaunted animals, belonging to Paquette, the interpreter. At length, being determined, like most of my sex, by a regard for exterior, I chose "Le Gris," and "Souris" was assigned to young Roy; my own little stumpy pony, "Brunet," being pronounced just the thing for a pack-saddle.
"Will you be frank, very frank with me?" "Why yes, my dear." "Well then, tell me truly did you never feel tempted to to to deceive that imbecile Souris?" Mme.
