The little walk of broken bits of brick was reddened carefully, and the one little step was scrupulously yellow-washed, which denoted that the occupants were cleanly as well as religious. Manuela's timid knock was answered by a harsh "Entrez." It was a small sombre room within, with a bare yellow-washed floor and ragged curtains at the little window.
This crowning honor the apothecary was insane enough to decline, and Agricola went away with many professions of endearment, but secretly offended because Joseph had not asked about his wound. All the same the apothecary, without loss of time, departed for the yellow-washed cottage, Number 19 rue Bienville.
The brick floor had never known other cleansing than sprinkling and sweeping, the yellow-washed walls had become with time a pale, mottled brown, the paint had disappeared under a fixed dinginess which the dusting-brush alone could not remove, and the glass of the windows had never been washed except by the rain. Yet, for all that, the place had an air of cleanliness.
Set high upon the further slope of it, from here invisible, the Grand Hotel fronted as he knew the eastward trending coast. Carteret wished the distance less, since he craved the shelter of that friendly yellow-washed caravanserai.
On the south side the ranks of these trees were broken for some thirty feet, and here the back of a small dwelling-house abutted on the cemetery. There was one window only in the yellow-washed wall, and this window a melancholy square framed in moss-stained plaster looked straight into the church porch. The flageolet-player eyed it suspiciously; but the casement was shut and the blind drawn down.
