Captain Fracasse

CHAPTER XVI
31/41

He is hidden in a little wood not far off, he and his comrades--they must keep out of sight, you know.

This evening, as soon as it is dark, they will try to get in here to you--by the tree, you know.

There's sure to be a scrimmage--pistol shots and swords clashing--oh! it will be splendid; for there's nothing so fine as a good fight; when the men are in earnest, and fierce and brave.

Now don't you be frightened and scream, as silly women do; nothing upsets them like that.

You must just remain perfectly quiet, and keep out of their way.
