Ball of Fat 25
Luncheon was a gloomy affair; and there was a general coolness toward
Ball of Fat, for night, which brings counsel, had somewhat modified the judgment of her
companions. In the cold light of the morning they almost bore a grudge against
the girl for not having secretly sought out the Prussian, that the rest of the
party might receive a joyful surprise when they awoke. What more simple?
Besides, who would have been the wiser? She might have saved appearances by
telling the officer that she had taken pity on their distress. Such a step would
be of so little consequence to her.
But no one as yet confessed to such thoughts.
In the afternoon, seeing that they were all bored to death, the count proposed a
walk in the neighborhood of the village. Each one wrapped himself up well, and
the little party set out, leaving behind only Cornudet, who preferred to sit
over the fire, and the two nuns, who were in the habit of spending their day in
the church or at the presbytery.
The cold, which grew more intense each day, almost froze the noses and ears of
the pedestrians, their feet began to pain them so that each step was a penance,
and when they reached the open country it looked so mournful and depressing in
its limitless mantle of white that they all hastily retraced their steps, with
bodies benumbed and hearts heavy.
The four women walked in front, and the three men followed a little in their
rear.
Loiseau, who saw perfectly well how matters stood, asked suddenly "if that
trollop were going to keep them waiting much longer in this Godforsaken spot."
The count, always courteous, replied that they could not exact so painful a
sacrifice from any woman, and that the first move must come from herself.
Monsieur Carre-Lamadon remarked that if the French, as they talked of doing,
made a counter attack by way of Dieppe, their encounter with the enemy must
inevitably take place at Totes. This reflection made the other two anxious.
"Supposing we escape on foot?" said Loiseau.
The count shrugged his shoulders.
