What a thunderclap these words
were to me! Oh, the wretches;

the town-hall! My last French
lesson! Why, I hardly knew how
to write! I should never learn
anymore! I must stop there then!
Oh, how sorry I was for not
learning my lessons, for seeking
bird‘s eggs, or going sliding on
the Saar! My books that had
seemed such a nuisance a while
ago, so heavy to carry, my
grammar, and my history of the
saints, were old friends now that
I couldn‘t give up. And, M.
Hamel, too; the idea that he was
going away, that I should never
see him again, made me forget
,all about his ruler and how
cranky he was.
