Excerpt from Contes Rapides: Sixieme
Et tandis que le bonhomme sucrait son moka, - un seul morceau, bien entendu! - devant toute la famille assise autour dela table ronde, la maman, - une boulotte de quarante ans, encore fraiche, tournant sans cesse vers son mari de tendres et intelligents regards de chien fidele, - la maman apportait le panier a ouvrage. Les trois s urs, nees a un an de distance, se ressemblant, chastement jolies, avec les robes taillees dans la meme piece d'etoffe et les honnetes bandeaux plats des filles sans dot qui ne se marieront pas, commencaient k ourler des mouchoirs; et lui, le gamin, le dernier-ne, le Benjamin, exhausse sur sa chaise haute par une Bible de Royaumont in-quarto, edifiait un chateau de cartes.

En Juillet, dans les longs jours, on allumait la lampe le plus tard possible, et, par la fenetre ouverte, on voyait un ciel orageux de soir d'ete, aux nuages bouleverses, et le dome des Invalides, tout ecaille d'or, dans la fournaise du couchant.
