A yet more mysterious hint as to her earlier life is dropped by an imp in Brittany. She has been treated to the sight of milk boiling in egg-shells, and cries: "I shall soon be a hundred years old, but I never saw so many shells boiling! I was born in Pif and in Paf, in the country where cats are made; but I never saw anything like it!"
Every five minutes a fresh speaker would say: "I heard 'birr! birr! and a magnificent covey rose at ten paces from me. I aimed. Pif! paf! and I saw a shower, a veritable shower of birds. There were seven of them!" And they all went into raptures, amazed, but reciprocally credulous. But there was an old custom in the house called "The Story of the Snipe."
And the words were hardly out of his mouth, when 'Pif! pah! and the two new-comers were stretched dead beside him. At the sound of the gun the wild ducks in the rushes flew into the air, and for a few minutes the firing continued. Luckily for himself the duckling could not fly, and he floundered along through the water till he could hide himself amidst some tall ferns which grew in a hollow.
"Ho ho ho ho!" came the drunken sounds. "It's a long time since M'sieu dined here with his old friend Romarin! Do you remember the last time? Do you remember it? Pif, pan! Two smacks across the table, Romarin oh, you got it in very well! and then, brrrrr! quick!

THE WHORES: Bravo! Parleyvoo! Angels much prostitutes like and holy apostles big damn ruffians.
"Pif, girl; don't speak in that silly way, or I shall be angry with you. Vayate! you may take away the wine. We can come again when he awakes. Guardate! Tread lightly." Again there is the rustling of a dress; but this time as if only one of the two were moving off. The other seems still to linger by the side of the couch. The invalid queries which of the two it is.
Pif! paf! pouf! that is the way I read. And now that I can read no more, I have but one pleasure, to tell of my battles. Is not that better than your 'Thousand and One Nights, youngster?" "You have, indeed, much to tell, old Nonesuch," replied the youngster guardedly, "and you have, indeed, seen much." "Ah, have I not, though!" old Nonesuch responded.
Why, last week a railway porter brought a package here addressed to me. Janouille that's my old woman suspected nothing, though she has a sharp nose, and told him to come in. He held out the package, I went up to take it, when pif! paf! off went two pistol-shots. The package was a revolver wrapped up in oilcloth, and the porter was a convict escaped from Cayenne, caught by me last year.
