It will compose your spirits, Elvira, I am sure." And without waiting an answer he began to strum the symphony. The first chords awoke a young man who was lying asleep upon a neighbouring bench.

If not " he shrugged his shoulders superbly, and the conversation closed. It was a troop train apparently, and in the course of time it would arrive at Marseilles perhaps. It would not be comfortable. "Mais, que voulez-vous, M'sieur? c'est la guerre."

But rabbits and chickens are robbed of their consolation; the baby is bundled into the house; and, once she is safe safe as any one can be safe in bombarded Nancy! nobody thinks about the air raid. Que voulez-vous? If one thought about these things, smiles a blonde girl in white, they might really get upon one's nerves, and that would never do! "It is this moonlight," she explains.
