Le Petit Chose Part 32

30 silent the hammer heavily the prayer the shade the cap he had a lantern in his hand the door opened of its own accord I mistook him for a German

31 brandy lean, thin the quince m.u.f.fled up the bal.u.s.ter the navy the man with a moustache they were just finishing supper they began to talk together

32 a lamp-shade to bow (_intr_) to disturb the eyegla.s.s to stammer the information right at the back of the study when he had finished, he turned to me what do you want me to do with that?

33 thanks to the forefinger the whiskers a shoulder to add on the contrary it was he who broached the subject a bunch of keys to grind one's teeth

34 willingly the frenzy a loss to wander the wire lattice to take one's bearings if you stir, beware!

at long intervals he was coming to meet me

35 wrinkled slender, slim lank shrivelled the fairy fencing he looked very good-natured on the way he told me stories I readily accepted

36 a confession commonplace to burst the hearth the goal the treatise a shake of the hand I will do it by myself a man's duty to his friends

37 the window-pane the figure, number the bedside the salary the speech a dream to wake up with a start to walk up and down the half-bottle of wine to which they are ent.i.tled

38 out of breath the priest to romp the inch the devil joyful hat does not matter he did not return my bow the biggest was the first to speak

39 the frock-coat the belt the box to fill the garrison to drag away to make some one's acquaintance I want you to be one of the party on the whole, you have fallen on your feet

40 the stick to roam to jostle the pun shameless to drive away it is not her fault gradually _or_ little by little he was talking loudly, with his gla.s.s in his hand

41 the day before to disdain proud a scamp solemn to retire as one might have thought he proposed Daniel's health they looked at me more favourably

42 to threaten the desk to whisper to swell to chirp sneering more and more he climbed the pulpit steps they never did me any harm

43 to boast (_intr_) the rabbit the paw the tale fright according to to fold one's arms to open one's eyes wide three times a week

44 dumb average to despise to reward to scold the witness I never told any more stories it broke my heart not to be able to do it he is dest.i.tute of everything

45 the stain the penknife to spread out the torture the lawn the carnet to bear some one ill-will as fast as possible from top to bottom

46 crooked in rags the ugliness to comb the gutter bandy-legged it was no good my shouting to them . .

that is easily seen from his manners tousled hair

47 the cloud, swarm the monkey the shoe the knot stiff laughable to be upon the enemy's heels I have gut hardly any more as if there were nothing the matter

48 to jest the fist the cake the square to be ashamed to get under way to play some one a trick with a submissive look he thought he was very beautiful

49 to bend to sweat a master-piece the farrier to bleed the staff he had sat down on the ground from that day forth to rub one's hands

50 to spit hideous near (_adj_) to horrify the beard to kiss I should have succeeded in doing it the day when he left what will become of him?

51 chubby a snare coa.r.s.e proud implacable the truce to be on the look-out he knows his trade well in spite of oneself

52 to sew to spin the heel the spectacles the ca.s.sock to forget my window looks out on to the courtyard he was walking with long strides on the first storey

53 the mist the library the bookseller dest.i.tute the smallpox the scamp cost what it may I have a great mind to go and see her not a corner which was not full

54 to explain the silk to unhook to project, jut the elbow to smoke so so _or_ as well as one can sitting astride what a funny idea!

55 the shelf to lend the nail the trade to take away to spoil by the way, I forgot to tell you..

he might just as well not have come you need not blush

56 to suspect the trust the suffering empty the fly a stride you can take my word for it with gilt edges you will never pull through

57 the flag the tent the velvet the sponge the crowd bald I cannot stand it any longer he did not seem to suspect it everywhere at the same time

58 the flag to lie fallow threadbare coaxing careless proudly this way! this way!

good-bye till next year the band struck up a march

59 the skirt the lawn the swan to whip the hay to suck I spend my days in reading if I could have gone to go bird-catching with a bird-call

60 to guess to add the illness the eyelash the dawn to bless how are you this morning?

to retire with a low bow I have been told to wait upon him

61 to sigh to light without fail shrewd to place kindness to pout in utter despair he went away I cannot make up my mind to speak

62 beforehand hush!

to steal sugar to dismiss to shot in you take my meaning nor the days after either as a crowning misfortune

63 the rest, repose a clock the wheelwork usual to stream fiercely to profit by sg.

how short the holidays are!

from top to bottom

65 to wind up harsh to embitter to outflank a riot to hiss thanks to his efforts I cannot bear it any longer in the dead of night

65 a point the frog the sample the scoundrel the farm the demeanour in a trice to laugh at some one I am not particular about it

66 unheard of indignant the gesture afresh the firmness contemptuous he struck him a violent blow with his fist I tried to keep my composure we'll see about that

67 to lose a leap to complain to drive away to rea.s.sure the triumph to clap one's hands to bring some one to his senses I was afraid in my turn

68 to mumble painful guilty the dormitory the tie the chin he got off with a good fright without appearing to do so, he was looking at them towards seven o'clock

69 the buffalo wild to avenge to inflict an insult to wriggle he has failed in his duty he has been kept to his bed for the last two days I was careful not to reply

70 the executioner to shudder the neighbour-hood the drawing-room cruelty a victim they laughed in my face such details as to make one's hair stand on end twenty times running

71 to threaten naked the gymnasium to superintend the fencing-master I take no more trouble about them sheltered from the bad weather here and there

72 the ladder the beam the ring noisily the din to surprise half torn out without saying anything to anyone you did not suspect that I was here

73 the fog an event elsewhere deaf the somersault to resound they were shouting at the top of their voices I started reading again for the time being

74 the cask the novel a sign broad for fear of the corner as far as the eye can reach that will please him very much in reality he is very fond of him

75 the brain on purpose to disturb to get rid of a staircase the certainty he gave me a queer look the most natural thing in the world I went up the steps four at a time
