  9       II|          Marie-Anne found time to say, in a low voice:~ ~“I think
 10      III|          have nothing! That is to say—yes—I have an old hen left
 11      III|           would have hesitated to say on seeing this pallid and

 15        V|      insult Marie-Anne—that is to say, to injure, to strike, to
 16       VI|         peasant girls; that is to say, on the day of her marriage
 17       VI|     impose.~ ~Now she could truly say that she knew Maurice’s

 41      XVI|         of hope.~ ~What should he say to Maurice?~ ~He had reached
 42      XVI|           you hear what I have to say. I am not of your party;

 77    XXVII|          once to my son. You will say to him that his dying father
