Excerpt from Little Gervaise: And Other Stories
For a moment Ger vaise stood looking at him, her eyes blazing with indignation. Would he never give her credit for what she did: would he never put her upon a level with himself; would he always despise her, wound her, jeer at her; would it always be the same? Would she go on year after year until she was a grown woman, and would Paul, whom she loved so much, whom she looked up to and almost reverenced, would he never understand that there was something in her that even a clown could not touch? But no: it could not go on forever; no, no, not even though his father was very powerful, one of the most celebrated clowns in France, for a day would come Thou wilt have to go for a soldier, she burst out indignantly.
