The carriage-door was open for a minute to let her little boy, who had just come from I don't know where, get in. She hasn't changed scarcely at all. Well, why should those women change? they never worry themselves about anything. Only the Coccoz woman looks a little fatter than she used to be.
We remain for ever children, and are always running after new toys. Same day. In the oddest way that Coccoz family has become associated in my mind with the Clerk Alexander. "Therese," I said, as I threw myself into my easy-chair, "tell me if the little Coccoz is well, and whether he has got his first teeth yet and bring me my slippers."
"Yes, Monsieur; and it is time for me to go and skim it." "Good! but don't forget, Therese, to take a good bowl of soup out of the pot and carry it to Madame Coccoz, our attic neighbor."
My housekeeper was on the point of leaving the room when I added, just in time: "Therese, before you do anything else, please call your friend the porter, and tell him to take a good bundle of wood out of our stock and carry it up to the attic of those Coccoz folks. See, above all, that he puts a first-class log in the lot a real Christmas log.
"It is certainly unreasonable to bring little unfortunates into the world. But the thing is done every day, my dear Therese and all the philosophers on earth will never be able to reform the silly custom. Madame Coccoz has followed it, and she sings. This is creditable at all events! But, tell me, Therese, have you not put the soup to boil to-day?"
