UN SIMPLE KERD
ab Gustave Flaubert
I
Unte un pwolsecule, ias burgesas os Pont-l'Evêque jalouseer Mme Aubain ob aysu slougu Félicité.
Po cent francs ielg yar, ia cocit ed puw, syuhsit, liev, gliet, siegv dverwnes un ekwem, piwone i plukels, churnes id butter, ed remien derv dia sien potnia, - qua lakin eet nia amat anghen.
Ia hieb snuben un bell aunbayga pwarn, mohrn in-kap 1809, ay linkwnd-ye dwo meg yun purts con pelu dulgs. Tun, ia pohrn sien binas, ploisko id farm os Toucques ed id farm os Geffosses, quom rentes ludeer do 5000 francs hogst-ye, ed ia likwit sieno dom os Saint-Melaine kay wikes alyo minter costeus, bayghus sien atavia ed oistahnd apter id mercat hall.
Tod arduasenkeramiden dom wohs inter un perigumt ed un gatva adducend ei rivier. Id hieb in se nivelldifferences qua kwehlpihr. Un angh vestibule separit id cucin ud id sall quer Mme Aubain wohs seddend unte id hol dien prokwem id pengereh in un kalmenstron. Protiev id kwitpigen pelp eent ardeht oct mahogany stuls. Un veut piano tohl, sub un barometer, un pyramidal kowp om scattules ed cartons. Dwo taamcadeiras oistahr ye ieter flank ios vatra ex gehlb marmor ed os style Louis XV. Medsu to hol, id pendulesaat kip un temple as Vesta, - ed id hol appartment eet lyt moffic, idghi podloga lyohgit ghemer quem id garden.
Ye id prest etage eet preter id kamer as Madame, baygh plaut, samt tapete om palla flors ed id portrait os Monsieur in costume os muscadin. Id communicit con uno smulker kamer samt dwo magvencouchettes, aun matrass. Dind wohs id salon, semper cluden, ed plehno med drapcovohrna meubles. Poskwo duxit un corridor uni maktab ; buks ed khartas garnier ia gjias uns bibliotheque qua periembh unte tri gons un weru scribtable ex swordo dreu. Id reste ios mur eet kohlen ab pennrissems, gouache landspects ed grehvens os Audran, souvenires os un seller tid ed uns forswohnden luxe. Un luckern, ye id dwot etage, beluc Félicités kamer, quod uperspohc ia lungs.
Ia eestaht ub yant octent, mae lipses id messe, eewiwehrct tiel vesper ; dind, khatem id dinner, enaurdhen id vescell ed suacluden id dwer, ia ee-bedehlft id log sub id bur ed eenarct ant id vatra, rosarghesor. Nimen, in wesneihsas, ee-bevidt meis inatia. Dayir kiestet, id schleivmen aysen castrols eedesperet alter slougas. Iktissadic, ia ee-eddt lent-ye, ed eekwaht sien fingher ep id maja ia ferumes os sien dvan, - un dwodempund khlayb, pohkwt makhsus pro iam, ed quod ee-duret dwogim diens.
In ielg saison ia eevehst un indienne handchirk pact in sien regv med un spilk, un colpak quod eekehlt ays kays, greisa choraps, un rudh jupon, ed epter sien camisole un bavette mandile, kam ias hospital sanitaras.
Ays lige eet maigher ed ays voc schrill. Dwogimpenkat kwohk ia quargimat ; yant penkgimtiat skieu ia neideti oumer ; - ed, semper silent, samt rect lengv ed midta gestes, tengicit un dreun gwen, wehrgend ye un automatic weidos.

IA hieb haben, kam alya, sien liubhstoria.
Ays pater, uno murar, hieb nohcen fallus kata un handam. Dind ays mater mohr, ays swesters diaspohr, un dorver prim iam, ed iam employit quayque meg yun kay gwopahe ruri. Ia krusel subter lumps, pohsit brous id wed ex ia padwls, eet plagelt ob neid, ed buit vichasset ob un klehpt om trigim groscha quod ia ne hieb committen. Ia buit sista do alyo dorev, bihsit ter henghehrd pieg, ed dat ia plaisit i besens, ays dusti jalouseer iam.
Sem vesper os august (ia eet tun octdemat), i dribh iam do id fest os Colleville. Ia buit fauran sturdihn, hayran ob id thambra iom musicians, ia luces in ia drus, ia poik trakhs, ia dantelles, ia golden cruces, tod masse em comskandend leuds. Ia stahsit apank-ye kienkiu, quan un yuwen os sudehn apparence ed qui dum sien pipe samt bo olans ep id dexel uns onwogh, gwohm ad invite ad danse. Is ay pieyghit cormat, cofie, placunt, un halstuk, ed, fikernd ia tierkit quo isghi iskwit, bohd wehghe iam dom. Ye id leizd uns koperagher, ia volvih iam brutal-ye. Paut lambh iam ed ia bicricit. Is abdrahsit.
Sem alyo vesper, untitner kye Beaumont, ia udgwahsit uno mier seinwogho quod movit lent-ye, ed oistreipus ids kwekwls ia recognih Théodore.
Is wohkwit iam sakwn-ye, saygend ia tohrb indulges hol, chunke eet « id fault os drehnk ».
Ia ne wois quo antwehrde ed wohnit mwaungsoue.
Fauran tolkit is de ia opsens ed iens notables ios commune, eysghi pater hieb likwn Colleville pro id dorev iom Ecots, yoitkwe nun i wohs niebers.
Ah ! Ieyit ia.
Is nabahsit od eet iskwt kem is nipagiet. Zowngschie is ne hieb hast, ed wohlp un gwen ye sien gust. Ia spohcit ghom. Tun is oisprohg iam an ia mohn de snumbes. Ia namlu, smeihnd-ye, od eet mal goile.
Bet no, vos kassamo !
Ed med sien levter brakh periembh is ays lendv. Ia ghieng stohmt ab eyso strineg ; nilenteer. Id wind eet moll, ia stars blig, id enorm woghklad os sein wip ant i ; ed i quar ekwi, sehlkend-ye ir stieups, ieyreer duilo. Dind, aun porunc, i tour dextro. Is kuss iam iter. Ia disprohp do id skadh.
Théodore, ye id sehkwnd hevd, hassilit mulakats ud iam. Eeghatent ye id bud iom ghehrds, apter uno mur, sub un schajra. Ia ne eet innocent de id weidos iam potnikas, - animals hiebeer bedarst iam ; - bet raison ed honor instinct ay stabh cedde. Tod resistence exasperit id liubh os Théodore, tem quem so (maghses nayive-ye) viprohsc iam. Ia kung de credihes iom. Is oiswohr megil oits.
Mox itirief is semjecto ghyalir : eys parents, peruti, hieb ei kaupen un tayer pro id armee ; yed ye cada dien, iter is poiss bihe vanen ; id idee os draukhte dekhschiet iom. Tod couardice buit pro Félicité un pruv os tenderesse ; ayso redoublit. Ia eeskapt nocts, ed unte ia mulakats,Théodore eeganapt iam med sien sweurghs ed insistences.
Bad mohld is od isswo gwahiet id Prefecture kay istifsare, ed reikiet niebst mingo, inter oindem saat ed midnoct.
Ye saycto tid, ia curs kyom lieubher.
Vice iom, ia trohv oin eysen prients.
Is manthih iam ia neti dohlg revide iom. Kay se behrge ud conscription, Théodore hieb wohden un meg riche anua, Mme Lehoussais, os Toucques.
Tod buit un aunaurdhen gomra. Ia se xubh ghomtro, emiss cries, kiel iom sell Div ed oistunit mon ruri tiel solweus. Dind ia rik id dorev, declarit ia iskwit linkwes id ; ed, ye id end ios munt, dakus sien denars, ia vulbh sien pauk maals do un handchirk, ed gwahsit Pont-l'Evêque.
Ant id herbehrg, ia suwiel un burgesu vehsend un vidvchador, quasmee iskw un cokwin. Ia gwenak ne siegv pelu, yed kwohk tant suamenos ed hant tem pauk demandes quem Madame Aubain visieyg :
Estu, io vos accepte !
Félicité, pos oin quardel hor, eet installet bay.
Preter, ia gwivit in un sorte os tremblen, suwen ay ab id « genos ios dom » ed id mehmen os Monsieur swehbend uper quant ! Paul ed Virginie, uter septat, altra payn quarat, ay kwohkeer skipt ex sem precieus materia ; i rid ep iam kam ep un ekwu ; ed Mme Aubain ay forbohd biuces i ye cada minute, quo mortificit iam. Lakin ia khiss noroct. Id mliieke ios milieu hieb smohlden ays aytan.
Khamsis, nityi eegwehme ad likes un partie os boston. Félicité ee-preparet in perodhia ia cartes ed ia gverehtors. Ee-arrivent ye exact-ye oct saat, ed ee-asimatent pre id oindem saat frid.
Mundies aghyerns, is brocanter qui logit engwn id allee eesternt ghom sien schrots. Dind id urb eepehldt med un vocdrehnen, quei se eeblandent ekwenhingols, agnenblehghens, swinengrundyens, con id stump blosk iom carretts i id strad. Circum middien, kun id mercat eet chepranst, eeprehpt ep id soyl un veut bulando nowngmin, samt kulah slahn retro ed vreg nas, so eet Robelin, is farmer os Geffosses. Pau wakt pos, eet Liébard, is farmer os Toucques, smulk, eroudh, obese, vehsend un greiso jaquet ed gamascha samt sperens. Bo eeschehnkent iri sutrice hens au caises. Félicité semper ee-distaraght ir hilas ; ed ee-abgwahnt namosti dia iam.
Ye sem zamans, Mme Aubain eebiht faungmoenen, ab iom marquese os Gremanville, oin om sien onclens, ruinen ab ayars ed qui eegwivt in Falaise ep id senst perakendes os sien araszi. Ee-arrivit semper ye obeddsaat, con un keapay puddel qual pods eemurdareihnt vasya meubles. Nespekent sien efforts kay kwehke gentleman pati ayre sien hat ielgs kun is ee-sayct : « marhoum mien pater », eys adet eereict ed is eeschehnct sib glas pos glas, ed mlu khalazats. Félicité iom eepusct tun extro polite-ye :
Yu sollte ses strak nun, Monsieur de Gremanville ! Tiel mox !
Ed ia eezaghyant id dwer.
Ia eeghyant id khalal ant M. Bourais, prever wakile. Eys albh cravat ed eys kalvtat, id haussal os eys camiss, eys ample brun redingote, eys weidos os oisnifes tabak beughend-ye sien brakh, eys hol person eedeught in iam tod trouble quetro id spectacle iom extraordinar wirs nos bringht.
Dat is eemanaget ia vetats as Madame, is ee-kyalbehndt-se con iam unte hors in id maktab os Monsieur, ed semper eebayt se compromitte, eerespectet aunfin-ye id magistrature, eepretendt sagve latin.
Kay bedarse amat-ye i purts, is im dahsit ka hadia un geographia grehvenbuk. Eent kips ex tienxia, em ptorkufyet anthropophags, uns kiep rabend un potnika, em bedouins in id desert, uns kiet quel bihsit harpounen, etc.
Paul gjuchienit ta grehvens ad Félicité. Ta buir hatta ays holo literar education.
Tod im purts eet tyict ab Guyot, uno miser wir employeito ios Ratusch, fameus ob eys bell khat, ed qui eeschiawkient sieno kniv protie sien baut.
Quan eet suadin, ee-abgwahnt aus do id farm os Geffosses.
Id ghehrd est kleitut, id domo medsu id ; ed id mar, dalgi, prehpt kam un greis gloi.
Félicité eestract ex sien sack fels os srig miems, ed ee-obeddent in un appartment sekwos id melgarie. Eet id saul etiloikw unios nun disparihn yowrlanliew. Id tapete ios sten, nun lumpic, eeweipt sekwent ia airdrunas. Mme Aubain eeclihnt sien chol, uperkwohlmt ab mehmens ; i purts neti eedeursent bahe.
Leicte ghi ! Eeayt ia.
Ee-diswarpent.
Paul eesteight do id horgn, eekapt avs, ee-ricocheteiht petras ep id poul, we eetundt med un gazd ia taungh butts qua eeclanghent kam tamburs.
Virginie eefoddert i cuincules, ee-precipitet-se kay karpe blou flors, ed id okutat aysen jambs ee-aunstehct aysa smulk altien pantalons.
Ye sem osyern vesper, i likw unte ia charagahs.
Id hilal beluc un deilo ios waurn, ed uno nebule swohbh kam un scharf uper ia sinuositats ios Toucques. Auxi, keihndi medsu id travos, spohc sakwn-ye ti quar menscens prighange. In id trit bred, oiks oistieur ub, dind skip un rund ant ians. - « Mae bayte ! » iey Félicité ; ed murmurend un sorte os riouda, ia bruk id regv ios prokwst ; is parvols, alyi imiteer iom. Bet quan id sehkwndo charagah buit tohrt, un athime mugeihsa lud. Eet un taur quom kohl id nebule. Is oistohmb kye bo gwens. Mme Aubain sa-drahsit.
No ! No ! Minter oku !
Ias lakin stiup meis-ye jaldi, ed ieur aptos un stets proscher swehner annem. Eys kaphs, kam hammers, stiemp id gras ios lung ; eno nun galoppit ! Félicité vols ed wul dwighesor ardhplacks qua ia xubh do eys okwi. Is clih sieno snas, scussit sien horns ed tremblit ob furor mugeihnd-ye horrible-ye. Mme Aubain, ye id bud ios charagah con sien dwo magvens, iskwit strehmghalv quer upergwahe id barrier. Félicité dar stohmb retro ant iom taur, ed dayim xubh travgrunza qua blins iom, menxu ia cricit :
Spehdte ! Spehdte !
Mme Aubain stighit ghom id grov, puscit Virginie, Paul dind, fiell plurs peitend-ye beglehme id taluss, ed samt pelu courage vikamyieb.
Is taur hieb trohngen Félicité protiev un leuxmen ios barrier ; eys bava gwohl do ays enokwo, unte plus oin secunde is proe-exgventeriet iam. Is hieb kafi wakto kay sniges inter dwo stanghs, ed is piwon biest, alnos surpris, hielt.
Tod wakya, unte pelu wetsa, buit un conversation topic in Pont-l'Evêque. Félicité traxit neid gurur, ne hatta aumend ia hieb kwohrn semject heroyic.
Virginie beswurgh iam exclusive-ye ; - iamghi gvolit, sekwos ays dekhschat, uno nerveus illat, ed Mr. Poupart, is liek, riedh ia marbalnias os Trouville.
Unte tod tid, ne eent meg perikwohlt. Mme Aubain istifsier, consultit Bourais, kwohr garwis, kam pro un long safer.
Ays paquets buit abwohghen perdini, in id carrett os Liébart. Posdini, so brigh dwo ekwens, ex qui uter hieb un gwenseddel, samt un zamtclinter ; ed ep id cloin dwoters un rollt mantel skip un genis sedd. Mme Aubain rid tel, apter iom. Félicité maimouriesc med Virginie, ed Paul sess ep iom asel os Mr. Lechaptois, laynen sub condition os meg kaure de iom.
Id strad eet tem khako quem ids octo kilometers nieudheer dwo saats. I ekwi dub tiel uper ir kaps do mudh, ed wip brusk-ye ir cloins kay salge tetos ; we i stus protiev ia weghias ; alyes, i tohrb skande. Ia ekwa os Liébart, ye sem stets, stopit fauran. Is intizier ke sa trohtyit ; ed is tolkit dei persons quim vetats lizd id strad, addeihnd iri storia sema moral reflexions. Also, medsu Toucques, kun i rid pri fensters qua trapeols periembh, is sieyg, samt un plecten :
Ena, Mme Lehoussais, sib hat payght un yuwen...
Félicité ne ieur id reste ; i ekwi troht, is asel galoppit ; quanti gwahr unte un paund, un barrier buit wohrten, dwo pwarns prohp, ed i stigheer ghom ant id sruskwrnt, ep idpet dwersoyl.
Ia mater Liébard, dyehrcus sien potnia, bevisit sien megil joy. Ay servit un obedd, quer eent beufregv, schkembeh, blutwurst, kierk fricassee, spoimic cormat, un compotentarte ed eau-de-vie pruns, samt un wolga politessen ad Madame qua kwohk waler, ad Mademoiselle biht « schungjin », ad Monsieur Paul aunsam-ye « nerterascus », aun myehrse ir defuncts grandparents, qui i Liébarts hieb gnohn, serviceneund id familia pon plur generations. Id farm hieb, kam i, sem awkweit. Ia tavanbalks eent vehrmsaup, ia walls dumkyohrnen, ia giams duilgreis. Un aigen dressuar tohl vasyalg samans, potires, stinscetils, wolfenkapans, owennojits ; un enormo sringa glihihsit i magvens. Vasya drus iom tri ghehrds hieb auter baungs ye sien base, we in sien urads un wiskchuff. Id wind hieb nivolvihn plurs. Ia hieb recrohscen ab ir medio ; ed vasya flexeer sub id wakel iren appels. Ia dakhs, lik ad brun zamt ed uns inegal tuge, resisteer ia nertst windcutts. Lakin id carpentia gadriebh. Mme Aubain sieygit ia permeidiet ed wohl redverwnes i yugsments.
Dar oin pwolhor buit tohrpto pre nake Trouville. Id smulk caravan hielt pre upergwahe ia Ecores, un behrg hangend uper navs ; ed tri minutes serter, ye id bud ios quie, entreer id ghehrd ios Agneau d'or, bay mater David.
Virginie, yant ia presta diens, khiss minter slab, resultat ios airchange ed ios action iom balnias. Ia eenigviet in camiss, bila yukwi ; ed ays bays ee-reduit iam in un doaner kalive quod eedaught im balnyers.
Posmiddiens, eereident con iom asel trans ia Roches-Noires, ye id gon os Hennequeville. Id paund preter stigh inter travplordalins samlik ad parks, dind arrivit ep un plateau quer alterneer breds ed plught aghers. Ye id leizdo ios wegh, in id gacrohscos iom brimbels, stieur arfuls ; ter ed cer, un bulando turso schajra riss protiev id azur sem zigzaghs med sien ozda.
Quasi semper eerahatent in un lung, samt Deauville levter, Le Havre dexter ed front-ye id hol mar. Id eet solargu, glat kam un specule, tem mliako quem ids murmure eet aurt ; kohlt gurobels eepipent ed id platu akmen eestect to hol. Mme Aubain, seddend, eekmehnt sien syumenwehrg ; Virginie prokwem iam eetreict yoins ; Félicité eekarpt lavande flors ; Paul, quom to eeplictisset, ee-abgwahskwt.
Alyes, peromus id Toucques, eepaurskent kiauts. Id ebb eeaunstehct mareghis, pectenkiauts, medusas ; ed i magvi eedrahnt, kay sizes skumflockens qua id wind ee-forpleuct. Ia sneud flutts, fallend-ye ep id sand, ee-disvolvent engwn id strand ; id oistrohc tiel vidleus, yed ye landgon hieb ka limite ia dunes qua separeer id ud id Marais, lung tem weur que un asprese. Quan eereikent unte her, Trouville, ye id bud ep id kleitu ios coteau, pos ielg stieup eecrehsct, ed med sien quant inegal doms eekwehct se paydrane do un vessel disaurdhen. Ye pior chalda diens, ne ee-salgent ir kamer. Id blindend exokweitert xud luce stanghs inter ia miecha iom jalousien. Neid blosk in id village. Niter, ep id trotuar, nimen. Tod spohrt silence ee-auct id sakwnia iom jects. Dalgi, ia hammers iom calfats eestampent scrocks, ed un gwaru brise eebringht id rayha ios katran.
Id magno laab eet id reiken iom barks. Yant ia hieb uperhaulen ia schamanduras, ia ee-inkapent lavire. Ir seghels ee-descendent tiel ia dwo tridels iom masten ; ed, iro trinquete tumt kam un ball, ia eevoghent perodh, eesneigent in id gaclapos iom volns, tiel medsu id port, quer eet fauran fundarn. Dind, id nauk eeplacet-se protiev id quie. Ies matroses eexeubhent uperbord palpitend piskens ; uno massaf om carretts eeskehpte iens, ed gwens vehsend cotoncolpaks ee-elanent-se kay ghende ia corbhs ed kunes ir manns.
Oin ex ians sem dien wohkwit Félicité, qua pau pos entrit id kamer, hol joyeus. Ia hieb trohft un swester ; ed Nastasie Barette, esor Leroux, prohp, dehrjend un ditil protie sien pizdan, med dexter hand alyem magv. Levter quem ia un lytil yungh samt peungsta ep sien hinks ed id berett ep id aur.
Pos oin quardel hor, Mme Aubain cungid iam.
Eent semper incontren prokwem id cucin, au unte ravans. Is mann eet naiwo viden.
Félicité vistyohrg i. Ia kieup im un blanquet, camissa, un ochag ; okwivid-ye profiteer iam. Tod sliebe irritit Mme Aubain, qua eti ne kiem ia familiaritats ios nepot, - isghi sieyg « tu » aysi son ; - ed, dat Virginie kwies ed dat id saisono neti eet khauris, i rik Pont-l'Evêque.
Mr. Bourais exclarit iam de id cheus uns collegium. Tod os Caen ghohld ka id gohdst. Paul buit yisto tetro ; ed sieyg bolt-ye sien adieus, satisfacen de gwahe gwive in un dom quer is habiet dustens.
Mme Aubain se resignit ei dalgses os sien son, ob to eet lasim. Virginie mohn stets minter de. Félicité regretit eyso thambra. Men un occupation gwohm ad distrage iam. Ab Natal, ia duxit cadadien iam pieg do catechisme.

QUAN ia hieb gnubohdt, ia eeghanct perodh sub id hogo kyrknav inter id double ligne iom stuls, eeghyant id benk as Madame Aubain, ee-seddt ghom, ed ee-ambiglect.
Ies pwarns dexi, ias piegs levi, eeplehnt ia cuvoukels ios khor ; is pleban eestaht prokwem id lectrin ; ep un vitral ios apsis, is Iser Ansu epkih iam Virgen ; alyo iam skieu genuend ant iom Purt-Jesus, ed apter id tabernacle, un dreun grupp kip Sainto Michel qui gvohn iom ogvi.
Is pryster lohg preter un bragvyen ios Iser Historia. Ia credih vide id paradays, id deluge, id tor os Babel, hol urbs in flammes, mehrnd folks, volviht idols ; ed ia gwup ex tod mentarg id respect ios Ubsell ed id baysa os eys grassab. Dind ia pliengit kleund-ye id Passion. Ma hieb ies crucifix iom, quige kyarihsit i magvens, piut ia meneghs, schifit i blinds, ed hieb volen, ob mliieke, gnahe medsu i paupers ep id gworgwor unios mandra ? Ia sehsas, ia ghiesens, ia torcules, tasmee familiar jects de qua tolct id Euanghelium eewehse in ays gwit ; Divs prigumt hieb iseriht ia ; ed ia kiemit meis tender-ye iens agnens ob liubh ios Agnios, ians columbs ob iom Iser Ansu.
Ay eemoliet fiker eys person ; isghi eet ne tik av, sontern eti un ogwn, ed alyes un annem. Kad est eys luce quod dwajt ana ia muraischa, eysum soluko quod pusct ia nebsa, eys voco quod harmonieuseiht clocks ; ed ia mien in un dyeia, brungend id khuldet iom murs ed id sakwnia ios kyrk.
De ia dogmes ia ghieb neid, ne hatta se strohng ad ghabe. Is pleban eelehct, i magvi ee-recitent, fin-ye ia eenarct ; ed ia eegehrt fauran, quan abgwahnd-ye eeclackeihnt ir klumps ep ia flises.
Ye tod weidos, pelu kekleuvs id, uc ia id catechisme, sien religieus education esus neglegen in sien yuwent ; ed tuntos ia imitit Virginies quanta dyinsta, fiest kam ia, se confess con iam. Ye id Corpus Christi, ias comkwohr un reposenaltar.
Ays prest communion aziyiet iam in perodhia. Ia kieur de ia schous, id rosar, id buk, ia guants. Kam tremblant hohlp ia ays mater ad due iam !
Unte id hol messe, ia spruv angst. Mr. Bourais ay kohl un gon ios khor ; bet just face iam, id churd iam virgens behrnd albh crons epter ir niterslaht setaras oiskip kam uno sneigvplor ; ed ia recognih dalgtos iam kyar magv ob ays meis kawayi coll ed ays anamnetic attitude. Id clocko kluyt. Ia caps dientoweer ; buit un silence. Kun id orghen bikien, ies chantres ed id menegh entonier id Agnus Dei ; dind id defilee iom pwarns inkiep ; ed pos iens, ias piegs oistahr ub. Stieup pos stieup, ed samt yuct hands ias ghiengeer kyid hol illuminen altar, genuer ep id presto stieupen, prim id nafore ein pos ein, ed sekwent id samaurdhen rik ira prie-dieus. Quando buit Virgines roig, Félicité se clih kay vide iam ; ed, med id imagination quod dahnt druv tenderesses, ay kwohk od iasswo eet sa magv ; tas enokwo bihsit ayso, tas rogv vohs ia, tas kerd biet in ayso xiongbu ; kun vahsit ghyane sien stohm, cludend-ye sien oklids, ia quasi disbayaldissit.
Posdini, baygh aus, ia se presentit do id sacristia, kay is poti pleban ay dahsit id communion. Ia prim id devotion-ye, yed ne samt id sam wohn.
Mme Aubin buwskwit sien dugter un accomplihn person ; ed dat Guyot ghohd doce neter englisch ni music, ia karrier enpensione iam bi ians Ursulines os Honfleur.
Ia magv nel-ye objexit. Félicité kwohster, pehndend Madame rhayr-kheissas. Dind ia mohn kad ays potnia ieg prabh. Talg jects udcompetenceer iam.
Bad, sem dien, un veuto diligence stopit ant id dwer ; ed tetos sielg una munkin po Mademoiselle. Félicité klas id bagage ep id tavandeck, berul iom cocher, ed dehsit do id coffer six pots om murabbas ed douzen piren, con un bouquete om menexis.
Virginie, ye id sensto moment, buit lambhen ab uno mier sleuct. Ia glieb sienu mater qua biuc ayso chol, repeteihnd-ye :
Hay ! Courage ! Courage !
Id ubgwader buit slaht ub, id coch fortrohc.
Tun Mme Aubain khiss newal ; ed unte id vesper ays quant prients, domestia Lormeau, Mme Lechaptois, ias potnikas Rochefeuille, Mrs. de Houppeville ed Bourais gwohm ad console iam.
Ses beghis sien dugter preter meg-ye gvolit iam. Yed tris hevdi eedact un brev ud iam, ye alya diens eescript ay, eespasseret in sien garden, eeleist lyt, ed ye tod weidos eepleht id kenos iom hors.
Aghyerns, ob adet, Félicité ee-entrit Virginies kamer, ed eespehct ia walls. Iam eeplictisset neti tehrbe pehctum ayso kays, schneurtum ays bautins, lyeictum iam do ays crovat, - ed neti mudam visym eys latif enokwo, neti dehrjtum ays hand quan ias com ee-salgent. In sien kassala ia pit mehsge dantelle. Ays pior gwaur finghers eebrehgent ia siouls ; ia eewehnt neid, hieb lusen swehpen, sekwent sien werd, eet « enderminen ».
Kay « se distrage », ia prohg ke poiss primes sieno nepot Victor.
Is eegwehmt mingos pos id Messe, samt pemb gians, barexiongbu, ed odend kam id rur is hieb tohrt. Fauran, ia eesternt id meja. Ee-obeddent face mutu ; ed, iamswo mejend bilkull lyt kay spare, ia eestofft iom tant med pitu quem is eenarct end-ye. Ye id prest vesperfrid, ia ee-probeudt iom, eebeurst eys pantalon, eenodet eys cravat, ed eegwaht id krk, kneigvend ep eys brakh samt matruwo gururo.
Eys parents semper eemaimoureihnt iom med sib udprehge semject ud iam, kam un pack brunsuker, sapun, eau-de-vie, yando hatta denars. Is eebringht siena nippes kay ia meremettisit ia ; ed ia ee-acceptet tod besoyn, norocta de un waurmen quod ei eedwinght rikes.
In august, eys pater brigh iom ei cabotage.
Eet id tid iom ferias. Id reiken im purts consolit iam. Bet Paul bihsit capricieus, ed Virginie neti hieb id oumer os bihe wohkwna med « tu », quo dehsit un zakhmat, un barrier inter ians.
Victor gwahsit successive-ye Morlaix, Dunekyrk ed Brighton ; tsay ex ielg safer, is ay eeschehnct un hadia.

Semo mundie, dien 14 Jul 1819 (ia ne myohrs id tarikhe), Victor mohld is eet hoyert pro un voyage, ed, unte uperposdini noct, med id lignenav ex Honfleur, fortrehciet ad joine sien schouner quod sollit disfundare mox ex le Havre. Is saferiet, maghses, unte dwo yars.
Id prospect uns talg absence desolit Félicité ; ed kay ei sayge iter adieu, credie vesper, pos id dinner as Madame, ia uwit gsietaus, ed ghieng ub ia quar leuks qua separe Pont-l'Evêque ud Honfleur.
Quan ia buit ant id Calvar, vice tournes levtro, ia tour dextro, se forghieng in verfts, rik sien itner ; leuds ia wohkwit ay riedh spehde. Ia begir id navpehldend bassin, hurt palamars. Dind id terrain ghemiesc, luces cruceer mutu, ed ia credih ses foll, dyehrcend-ye ekwens in id waurn.
Ana id quie, alyi hingoleer, dekhschaten ab id mar. Un palank ieyr i dind sklas i do uno nav, quer wieurg mussafers inter cormatbutts, caise kista, grainsacks ; eent aurn hens kane, is capitan rughiet ; ed un yungho naknigv olan-ye ep id davit, indifferent dia to hol. Félicité, qua ne hieb recogniht iom, cricit « Victor ! » ; is oispohc ub ; ia se elien, quan id layter buit fauran stract.

Félicité, regwahnd-ye pri id Calvar, mohldskwit ad Div quo ia meist kyarih ; ed ia mohld diu, stahnd, sien face madhen ab dakrus, spehcend ub kya nebhs. Id urb swohp, doaners oispassereer ; ed wed fiell aunstop unte ia torms ios sclus, samt un torrentblosk. Dwo saat swohn.
Id parluar ne ghyahiet ant diewo. Un chitay weidwos balahniet Madame ; ed, nespekent sien desire os biuces alter magv, ia gwirliey. Ias herbehrgspiegs oisbud, kun ia entrit Pont-l'Evêque.
Isghi sekia vahsit fanzowe unte munts ep ia flotts ! Eys prever safers ne hieb dekhschaten iam. Ex England ed Breithen nohs anghen. Bet America, ia Colonias, ia Insules eent forlyohct in un rhayr-yakin iklime, ye alter bud ios mund.
Tuntos mohn Félicité tik de sieno nepot. Unte suadindiens, ia se aziyiet de teurst ; quan eet rlayu, biey pro iom dayir keraun. Kleund-ye id wind quod grohm in id camin ed abblahsit ia arduases, ia vis iom titundmen ab tod sam storm, atopp un bohncto mast, eys hol corpos supihn, sub un skumwakel ; autah, - mehmen ios grehvengeographia -, is bihsit praess ab i yeambans, kapt in un shienrlin ab kieps, eet mehrnd engwn un deserto strand. Ed naiw eetolct ia de ta sweurghs.
Mme Aubain hieb alya amiwa de sien dugter.

Ia slouga jawieb mliak-ye :

Ed, plectus, Mme Aubain stioupyit, quo mieyn : « Io ne mohn de !... Eti, ne kauro de ! Un yungh, un gheus, quod un besoyn !... menxu mien dugter... Mehnte ghi !... »
Félicité, quayque obischnuet ad kieurde, buit indignat contra Madame, poskwo myohrs.
Ay kwohk hol simple luses sieno ment ob iam pieg.
Bo magvi hieb un egal importance ; un diemen os ays kerd unicit i, ed ir beurts dohlg ses id sam.
Is apotheker manthih iam od Victors vecel hieb arrivet do Habana ; is hieb list tod istikhbara in un gazette.
Ob ia cigars, ia eefikert Habana ka un land quer ee-dideument, ed Victor eekwehliet bayna negros in un tabaknebh. Ghohd anghen « sei necessar » koimrikes per land ? Kam dalg eet tod ud Pont-l'Evêque ? Kay woide to, ia suwiel Mr. Bourais.

Ia se clih kyid map ; tod netwehrg lignen strakihsit ays vid aun doce ay ject : ed Bourais invitevs iam ad sayge quo embarassit iam sa prohg iom kem ay deikiet id dom quer bieytel Victor. Bourais liv sien brakh, sternuit, glihsit enorm-ye ; un liko candor excitit eyso joy ; ed Félicité ne ghieb ids grund, - kad ia exspectit vide hatta id portrait sienios nepot, tantghi begrancet eet ays intelligence !
Penkdem serter, Liébard, ye id mercatsaat kamadet, entrit id cucin ; ed ay uperdehsit un brev quod ays daiwer yis ay. Neuter sagvend lises, ays potnia buit prohgen.

Is hieb mohrn. Neid meis eet saygen de. Félicité se fallsis ep un stul, kneigvend cap-ye protiev id tabique, ed clusit sien lids, qua bihr pemb fauran. Dind, samt clihn chol, hangend hands, starnd okwi, ia repetihsit intervall-ye :

Virginie slabiesc.

Ia trohv un arrangement con un wogharendator, qui eewehght iam do id convent ardies. Est in id garden un terrasse samt ijmal uper id Seine.

Virginie hieb uno pneumonia ; kad eet aunspeh.
Ne bad ! Iey is liek.
Ed bo stigh do id wogh, sub twehrnda sneigvflockens. Vahsit nehkwe ed meg srigehsit.
Félicité se precipitit do id kyrk, kay dahe un schama. Dind ia aptercurs id cabriolett, quod ia naviex oin hor serter, skiend dexios aptos, quer is antgrip ia torsades, quan ay enfiell : « Id ghehrd ne eet cluden ! An furs enbrehgient ? » Ed ia stigh ex.

Ia Suor hieb id regret os sayge od « ia hieb just oisliten ». Sammel, id daunoscampan os Saint-Léonard redoublit.
Félicité ghohd do id dwot etage.
Yant id soylo ios kamer, ia dyohrc Virginie lyehgend regv-ye, samt yugen hands, ghyanen stohm ed supiht cap sub un swordo cruce clihn kyam, inter ia still cortins, minter pall quem ays enokwo.

Munkins abnihr Mme Aubain.
Unte dwo nocts, Félicité ne likwit iam mortu. Ia repetih ia sam prehgens, aspers ia charsafs med agiasme, rik sedde, ed dyi iam. Ye id end os preter daunoswakht, ia kieusit od id enokwo hiebit gohlben, ia lipps moderascen, id nas anghascen, ia okwi duben. Ia biuc plurs ia ; ed ne habiet spruft un immense staunos sei Virginie habiet reghyant ia ; pro lik atmens id supernaturalest hol simple. Ia tualettit iam, vulbh iam do ays kafan, lyig iam do ayso jenasa, sreg ayso chol, ster ayso kays. Id eet blond, ed extraordinar-ye long pro ays oumer. Félicité segit oin teug fitil tetos, quos dwidel ia snig do sien pizdan, gwaukana de mae aiwo disfanghe id.

Ia sohgnit de sieno nepot, ed khakend sepules iom, hieb dar meis aytan, kamsei habient begrabht iam con alter.
Mme Aubain sbei desperation buit aunlimite.
Preter pamrlien ia contra Div, iom pehndend neprabh ob ghendus ays dugter, - iam, qua hieb naiwo harmt, ed quas conscience eet tem pur ! - Bet no ! Ia habiet tohrpto bringhes iam do Provence.

« Iam ? » namlu Mme Aubain, kamsei ia gehriet. Ah ! Ya !... ya !... Yu ne myehrste iam !

Félicité eegwaht id ielg dien.
Ye exact-ye quar saat, ia eeghanct pri ia doms, eesteight id caust, eeghyant id barrier, ed ee-arrivet ant Virginies grabh. Eet uno smulk colunn ex pembo marmor, samt un flise ye sien base, ed zangirs qua ghohrd un kapos. Ia lekhas disparihr sub un florencovehr.

Ye semo noct, is weghtor ios diligence mohld in Pont-l'Evêque id Jul Revolution. Un nov sub-prefect, oika diens serter, buit taukilen : baron de Larsonnière, ex-consul in America, ed con quom gwiveer, ulter eys gvibh, eysa gelou con tri potnikas, ja terwn. Ops eent dyohrct ep ir gason, vehsend sem leikend blouses ; ias ieygw uno negro ed un papagall. Faungmoeneer Mme Aubain, ed vice-versa. Yant ias prohp dalgi, Félicité accurs kay warne. Bet tik oin jecto ghohd emove iam, ia brevs ud ays son.
Is khiek sehkwe un carriere, se fordrehnkend in creschmas. Ia eepayght eys dulgs ; is eekwehrt alya ed Mme Aubain sbei kwehsters, quando sa eemehsct claus id fenster, eeghehdent ad Félicité, qua eewehrt sien jentera in id cucin.

Tod eet id prest ker irs gwit, Mme Aubain ne esend uns demonstrative buhsa. Félicité buit schakir dia iam de to kam de un barakat, ed tuntos kyarih iam samt bestial devotion ed religieus dyeia.

Id prest eet semper ghom id caust, id dwot ant id postamt, id trit prokwem medsu id strad. Buir rivalitats de tod, ed ias parwoikerins vichus id ghehrd as Mme Aubain.

Bet is Pleban ijieb tod permission ; ia buit tem norocta de to quem ia prohg iomkem acceptit, quan ia habiet mohrn, Loulou, sien saul rey.
Ex ardie do sabd, predien os Corpus Christi, ia kwies frequent-ye. Ye id vesper, ays lige eet grippet, ays lipps glohmer protiev ays halks, ia bivomih ; ed posdini, ye prue, kheissend meg newal, ia kalihsit un pryster.

Félicité ex tid do tid wohkwit skadhs. Ias matrones abgwahr. Ia Simonne obess.

Est is wal ? Aziyatta de iom papagall.
Ays agonia inkiep. Un kharkhar ieyr aysa kyosta. Spoim vibrohn ye aysa serkwens, ed ays hol corpos tremblit.
Mox buir enderkwit id snarcen iom ophicleides, ia kweiter vocs im magvs, id deub voc iom wirs. Hol tieyc intervall-ye, ed id stieupbat, quod flors buffer, gohn id sam blosko quem un churd ep travos.
Id clero prohp in id ghehrd. Ia Simonne glohm ep un stul kay nake id okwn, ed it uperkihsit id reposenaltar.
Glend sregs hieng ep id altar, ornet med volans in Englisch plohcta. Medsu eet uno smulk fraum arehgend reliquias, dwo burtukals in ia angules, ed, engwn id hol, argwrntgwaks ed giki vases, quois lud solflors, lils, piyuns, yuessuekphels, chuffs om hortensias. Tod kowp om argu colors descens dighmo-ye, ex id prest etage tiel id kelim nastehcend ep ia adoquins ; ed kutongs attraxeer ia okwi. Un sukernitsa ex aliw hieb un menexisreg, pendeloques ex Alençon petras twis ep moss, dwo chinese schirms dik ir landspects.

Un azursteum stigh do Félicités kamer. Ia stulb sien nastorms, ensorbend-ye id samt uno mystic sensualitat ; dind clusit sien oklids. Ays lipps oismihr. Ays kerdmovs nilenteer ein pos ein, stets vagher, swadher, kam un fontan se exhaust, kam un echo forswehndt ; ed, quan ia ann sien ramak, ia credih vide, in id enderghyanen warwn, un gigantesk papagall, swehbhend uper ays cap.
