No, they said,
gpt
Mme. Alexandre had gone with Dubroca and his wife to that movie of Sarah.
human
And also with M. Beloiseau?
gpt
Ah, now, madame exclaimed,
human
I'll be very glad if that time ever comes,
gpt
Then you billieve in the second love?
human
Ah, in a case like that! Indeed, yes. In their first love they both were happy; the second would be in praise of the first.
gpt
And to separate them there is only the street, Castanado suggested,
human
--he made a wary motion--
gpt
Well, madame said,
human
Yes, and beside', I have some good news for you; news anyhow to me.
gpt
You 'ave another letter from Dubroca!
human
Yes. He's again wounded and in hospital.
gpt
Oh-h, terrible! tha'z to you good news?
human
Yes. Look, monsieur; he has, at the front, the chance to be hit so many times. If he's hit and only wounded his chances to be hit again are made one less, eh? And while he's in hospital they are again two or three less. Shall we not be glad for that? And moreover, how he got his wound, that is better. He got that taking, by himself, nine Boches! And still the best news is what he writes about his friend Castanado.
gpt
Ah, Mélanie! And you hold that back till now? And you know we are without news of him sinze a month! He's promote'? He's decorate'?
human
He's found a treasure. I think maybe you'll get his letter to-morrow. Me, I got mine soon; passing the post-office I went in and asked.
gpt
But how, he found a treasure? and what sort?
human
Mélanie! What are you saying?
gpt
What he says. And that's all he says. I hope you'll hear all about that to-morrow.
human
Oh, any'ow tha'z the bes' of news! Castanado said, kissing his wife's hand and each temple.
gpt
Doubtlezz he's find some lovely orphan of that hideouz war; we can trus' his good sense, our son. But, Mélanie, he muz' have been sick, away from the front, to make that courtship.
human
I do not know. Everything happens terribly fast these days. I hope you'll hear all about that to-morrow.
gpt
Mélanie, how is that, you pass that poss-office, when it is up-town, while you--?
human
Mélanie!
