There are ten of them dead, and the rest are in our hands about twenty, I think and every man of them damaged. They fought like devils." "Many of ours hurt?" I asked. "We've not come out whole, but there's no one killed. Where's your grandfather?" "Wounded on Herm, but not seriously, M. Tourtel says." "Seen anything of Torode himself, Hamon?" asked Tourtel. "Haven't you got him?

None but the man to whom she was betrothed a waiter at the Cafe Tourtel, named Pelleas had ever paid court to her; nor was she covetous of other hearts. Yet she looked victorious, and insatiable of victories, and "terrible as an army with banners." In the hand that was not on her hip she carried a letter.

He was disappointed to find so little there, and wondered whether it was worth giving her. "If Ellen were here to add some of her 'kind words," he thought, it might do very well; "however, I'll try." Next time Mrs. Tourtel stopped to take breath he went and stood by the poor girl, and said, "Miss Crawford is ill too and cannot come to see you, but she often thinks of you.

Alas! little Sixpence, that you who have been such a blessing to-day, should become a curse to-morrow; that you who have gone forth on errands of mercy to-day, should dwell in scenes of drunkenness and theft to-morrow! Early next morning Mrs. Tourtel went to market, and left the Sixpence at a baker's shop in payment for a white loaf for her daughter.

"Then you shall give him these," said Zuleika, holding out the two studs. "Mais jamais de la vie! Chez Tourtel tout le monde le dirait millionaire. Un garcon de cafe qui porte au plastron des perles pareilles merci!" "Tell him he may tell every one that they were given to me by the late Duke of Dorset, and given by me to you, and by you to him." "Mais " The protest died on Melisande's lips.

Phil, my boy, but I'm glad to see you safe and sound. You've been on my mind since ever you left. Who are Why Krok and Henri Tourtel? Nom d'Gyu! Where do you come from?" "From Herm last. We came across after those black devils. Old Carré said they would take a bite at you as they passed.

Better look if he's among our lot. You would know him better than we would. They're all down yonder. I must go and see after Amice Le Couteur. We left him bleeding at Eperquerie. Get anything you want from our people, Tourtel. Krok, you come along with us;" and we set off over the hill past La Jaspellerie to get to La Vauroque.

When I put one of them down on a table at the Cafe Tourtel the waiter shook his head and said, "La petite monnaie, s'il vous plait!" At another place where I put down a gold piece the waiter seized it as though it were a rare and wonderful thing, and then gave me all my change in paper, made up of new five franc notes issued by the Government.

They walked on together and turned down the Rue Pigalle and, striking off, reached the Grands Boulevards. The Brasserie Tourtel enticed them. They entered and sat down to a modest supper, sandwiches and brown beer. "I wish," said Andrew, "you would do me the pleasure to speak English with me." "Why?" cried the other. "Is my French so villainous?"

I continued them in Paris, and afterwards at the great brewery of Tourtel Brothers, of Tantonville, which is admitted to be the first in France. I heartily thank these gentlemen for their extreme kindness.
