Ball of Fat 22
They were finishing their coffee when the orderly came to fetch the gentlemen.
Loiseau joined the other two; but when they tried to get Cornudet to accompany
them, by way of adding greater solemnity to the occasion, he declared proudly
that he would never have anything to do with the Germans, and, resuming his seat
in the chimney corner, he called for another jug of beer.
The three men went upstairs, and were ushered into the best room in the inn,
where the officer received them lolling at his ease in an armchair, his feet on
the mantelpiece, smoking a long porcelain pipe, and enveloped in a gorgeous
dressing-gown, doubtless stolen from the deserted dwelling of some citizen
destitute of taste in dress. He neither rose, greeted them, nor even glanced in
their direction. He afforded a fine example of that insolence of bearing which
seems natural to the victorious soldier.
After the lapse of a few moments he said in his halting French:
"What do you want?"
"We wish to start on our journey," said the count.
"No."
"May I ask the reason of your refusal?"
"Because I don't choose."
"I would respectfully call your attention, monsieur, to the fact that your
general in command gave us a permit to proceed to Dieppe; and I do not think we
have done anything to deserve this harshness at your hands."
"I don't choose—that's all. You may go."
