"The sacked nun is in one of her tantrums," muttered the populace; and that was the end of it.For that sort of woman was feared; which rendered them sacred.people did not then willingly attack one who prayed day and night.

"Mother," said the child, "while you were talking with that lady in the bole, a big dog took a bite of my cake, and then I bit it also."

"What, sir, did you eat the whole of it?" she went on.

"Mother, it was the dog.I told him, but he would not listen to me.Then I bit into it, also."

"'Tis a terrible child!" said the mother, smiling and scolding at one and the same time."Do you see, Oudarde?He already eats all the fruit from the cherry-tree in our orchard of Charlerange.So his grandfather says that be will be a captain.Just let me catch you at it again, Master Eustache. Come along, you greedy fellow!"
