The good folk of Saint Loup stood and gaped with
amazement. What a man! What a brain! Why, to
see such a board was to think they were living at
Monte Carlo! Well, perhaps they would be having a
Casino quite soon; why not? With Kahn there was
really no telling. The women exclaimed; the men
laughed and winked, tickled by that appeal to the
newly wedded, and everyone felt very proud of their
town. Only look at the splendid advertisement—it
began on the ground and reached up to heaven!
Even the Benedifs oldest friends were too much
excited to notice their absence, while as for Eusebe's
... oh, well, he had no friends and, if one might
believe him, did not want any.
But one evening Eusebe walked forth alone to
visit that detestable board by moonlight; all alone
by the light of a scandalized moon he walked, intent
on relieving his feelings. And just how he relieved
them need not be told — it can safely be left to the
imagination.
