 667   III|            Philippe next struck up a lively polka, and Monsieur Tournevau
 668    II|             sat up and looked at the load of shouting females through

 679    II|              to monopolize. They had lunch in the workshop, which had
 680    II|              which penetrates to the lungs.~They wanted to see the

 686    II|              and thus they proceeded majestically through the village, like

 708   III|      regretfully to the tap-room. At midnight they were still dancing.~
