As I sat at the window of my café, watching the picturesque groups which formed in the street outside, I heard a vehement altercation going on in the archway, under which was the entrance to my hotel. "Grands Dieux!" cried the already familiar voice of my landlady, shrill as the cackling of a hen "grands Dieux! not a single soul from Ville-en-bois can rest here, neither man nor woman!
He said to me: 'If she ever wishes to see me, I would come gladly from London to Ville-en-bois', only to hear her say, 'Good-morning, Dr. Martin. 'But I will not see her now, unless she is seriously ill. I felt that he was right, Dr. Martin is always right." I did not speak when Tardif paused, as if to hear what I had to say. I heard him sigh as softly as a woman sighs.
I felt that we were perfectly secure in his keeping. Never, as long as I live, shall I smell the pungent, pleasant scent of wood burning without recalling to my memory that darksome entrance into Ville-en-bois. "We drove at last into a square courtyard, paved with pebbles.
``I suppose so, said the platoon commander, and he smoothed out his map and wearily got to the business of finding out where he was. ``Good Lord! he said. ``Ville-en-Bois! Spring in England and Flanders Very soon the earliest primroses will be coming out in woods wherever they have been sheltered from the north.
They have the fever like a pest there. No, no, m'sieur, that is impossible; go away, you and your beast. There is room at the Lion d'or. But the gensdarmes should not let you enter the town. We have fever enough of our own." "But my farm is a league from Ville-en-bois," was the answer, in the slow, rugged accents of a Norman peasant.
"Madame, I have also the honor of presenting to you two strangers from England," answered Monsieur Laurentie, while the people fell back to make way for them. Jack and Minima! both wild with delight. We learned afterward, as we marched up the valley to Ville-en-bois, that Dr. Senior had taken Jack's place in Brook Street, and insisted upon him and Minima giving us this surprise.
Yes, I am rich; and I have been planning something to do for Ville-en-bois. Would you like the church enlarged and beautified, Monsieur le Curé?" "It is large enough and fine enough already," he answered. "Shall I put some painted windows and marble images into it?" I asked. "No, no, madame," he replied, "let it remain as it is during my short lifetime."
Yet it was not without foundation. Here we were heretics amid the orthodox, and I felt it myself. Though Monsieur le Curé never alluded to it in the most distant manner, there was a difference between us and the simple village-folk in Ville-en-bois which would always mark us as strangers in blood and creed.
Madame, I believe the good God sent you here to help us." I discovered that mademoiselle's opinion was shared by all the people in Ville-en-bois, and Monsieur Laurentie favored the universal impression. I had been sent to them by a special providence. There was something satisfactory and consolatory to them all in my freedom from personal anxieties and cares like their own.
She says, 'Come to me. My husband has found me; he is here. I have no friends but you and one other, and I cannot send for him. You said you would come to me whenever I wanted you. I have not time to write more. I am in a little village called Ville-en-bois, between Granville and Noireau. Come to the house of the curé; I am there. "Behold, I am gone, dear monsieur.
