Three of these bourgeois were talking together - that is to say, two talked and one listened, 011 rather seemed to listen, so occupied was he in looking toward Vincennes. Let us turn our attention to this last. He was a man who must be tall when he stood upright, but at this moment his long legs were bent under him, and his arms, not less long in pro portion, were crossed over his breast. He was leaning against the hedge, which almost hid his face, before which he also held up his hand as if for further conceal ment. By his side a little man, mounted on a hillock, was talking to another tall man who was constantly slipping off the summit of the same hillock, and at each slip catching at the button of his neigh bor's doublet.
