Then the red face bent within a few inches of my own, and for the first time I saw that it had recently been young "I say I do your sweep for you" it translated pleasantly. I thanked it; and the vulture, exclaiming: "Good. Good. Not me. Surveillant. Harree does it for everybody. Hee, hee" rushed off, followed by Harree and the tassel.
He picked up two more, one in each arm, and threw them away. They fell on top of the first. You should have seen the Surveillant. He had run away and was saying, 'Capture him, capture him. The plantons rushed Jean, all four of them. He caught them as they came and threw them about. One knocked down the Surveillant. The women cried 'Vive Jean, and clapped their hands.
Once, twice, thrice he smote himself, before the plantons seized him and suddenly his whole strength wilted; he allowed himself to be overpowered by them and stood with bowed head, tears streaming from his eyes while the smallest pointed a revolver at his heart. This was a little more than the Surveillant had counted on.
Anyway it was accomplished, and that in several fifths of a second. Now let the curtain fall, and the reader be satisfied with the significant word "Asbestos," which is part of all first-rate performances. The Surveillant, I fear, distrusted his balayeur. For this deplorable reason they inevitably carried notes to and fro between les hommes and les femmes.
I was sure that the Gestionnaire was a very fierce man probably a lean slight person who would rush at me from the nearest door saying "Hands up" in French, whatever that may be. The door opposite me stood open. I looked in. There was the Surveillant standing, hands behind back, approvingly regarding my progress.
The boys having eaten an unlimited quantity of "gaufres," and drank several bottles of Louvain beer, amid the shades of a garden made and provided for such crams, petitioned the director for leave to take a row on the etang. Half a dozen of the eldest succeeded in obtaining leave, and I was commissioned to accompany them as surveillant.
I suppose," added he, on seeing that all prepared to obey him, except the surveillant officer, "you have no orders to object, this time?" And D'Artagnan almost triumphed while speaking these words. This plan would prove the safety of his friends. The blockade once raised, they might embark immediately, and set sail for England or Spain, without fear of being molested.
A sweeper was appointed from time to time by the Surveillant, acting for the Directeur, from the inhabitants of La Ferte; as was also a cook's assistant. The regular cook was a fixture, and a Boche like the other fixtures, Marguerite and Richard.
"You're lucky not to be there with him! Do you understand?" "With my friend I should be well content in prison!" I said evenly, trying to keep looking through him and into the wall behind his black, big, spidery body. "In God's Name, what a fool!" the Directeur bellowed furiously and the Surveillant remarked pacifyingly: "He loves his comrade too much, that's all."
I have rarely seen the Surveillant so pleased with himself as after producing this bon mot. As nobody could prove anything about Meme, he was not locked up in a dungeon; but he lost his job of sweeper which was quite as bad, I am sure, from his point of view and from that day became a common inhabitant of The Enormous Room like any of the rest of us. His successor, Garibaldi, was a corker.
