"Wooden legs!" This epithet was heard by Mme Fauconnier, who took up the cudgels for Gervaise who, she said, was as neat as a pin and worked like a tiger. The wedding party, coming out of La Rue St-Denis, crossed the boulevard under their umbrellas amid the pouring rain, driving here and there among the carriages.
"We are all here but him, and his scent is good! Surely he can't be waiting for us still at St-Denis!" The guests, in good spirits once more, took their seats with a great clatter of chairs. Gervaise was between Lorilleux and Madinier, and Coupeau between Mme Fauconnier and his sister Mme Lorilleux. The others seated themselves.
And he added with a wink, "There will be all the more for those who do!" Then Coupeau said they would settle the account, and his friend could do as he pleased afterward. Alas! Mes-Bottes could produce only three francs; he had changed his five-franc piece, and the remainder had melted away somehow on the road from St-Denis.
