It affects my whole life," she added in a deeper voice. "There's something up there I have to find out!"

Madame Lorilleux turned round and stared at her. Here was a wheedler trying to get round them. To-day she asked them for ten sous, to-morrow it would be for twenty, and there would be no reason to stop. No, indeed; it would be a warm day in winter if they lent her anything. "But, my dear," cried Madame Lorilleux. "You know very well that we haven't any money! Look! There's the lining of my pocket.
Abbe Mouret let the storm blow over him. At the old servant's wrathful words he experienced a kind of relief. 'Come, my good Teuse, he said, 'you will first put your apron on again.
