 SECTION III. 



LIBA, un pen rassuree par la promewe de eon oncle, commenca, 

 d'une voix tremblante, son recit. Elle raoonta 1 comment elle 

 avait renverse hi petite paysanne, et comment se* OBof* avaient 

 ft* Ms*. 



" Allons ! c'est tres-bien, filiaa, tu a* e"te franche ;* commc ce 

 n'est pas trop ton habitude, je veux t'en(a) recompenser en me 

 chargeant(b) de sollicitor aussi ta mere en ta favour."* 



"Hainan," dit alors Napoleon, " j'ai encore one grace a rooa 

 demandcr. 4 Vous me donncz dix sons par(c) semaine poor mee 

 menus plaisirs.(d) Eh bien! achevez de payer le* ceofs* de oette 

 pauvre petite qui attend la ce quo tout cela va devcnir,() et TOO* 

 ne me donnerez plus rien jusqu'a ce que nous soyons qoitte*." 



" D' accord," (/) dit Madame Lcetitia en faisant approcher la 

 petite paysanne, et lui donnant un petit e'en. " Napoleon,* en 

 voilft, pour six semaines." 



L' enfant courut a, Napoleon, et voulut lui remettre 7 lea deux 

 pieces de monnaie qu'elle avait recues de lui an moment oil 

 1' accident etait arrive ; mais il refnsa.* 



Cette probite plut(^) a Madame Bonaparte,' qui alors inter- 

 rogea la petite paysanne. 10 Elle apprit que c' etait la fille d'un 

 pauvre pt'cheur, quo sa mere etait malade, 11 qu'elle demenrait 

 dans une chetive cabane, 11 BUT le bord de la mer, a quelque 

 distance 11 de 1'endroit ou son panier avait etc renverse. 



"Ta mere est malade, dis-tu, mon enfant ?' elle n'a paa de 

 m6decin qui la soigne, sans doute. J'irai la voir." 



" Oh ! maman, je vous en prie," s'ecria Napoleon, " allons-y 

 tout de suite. 15 Nous reconduirons Charlotte." 



"Volontiera," repondit Madame Bonaparte. "Allons, 1 * me* 

 enfants, partons." 



Les enfants ne se le firent(/i) pas r^'peter. Qnelqnes instants 

 apres, ils arriverent au pied d'nn rocher." 



" C'est la," dit Charlotte, en designant nne miserable cabane. 1 * 



Lorsqu'ils entrcrent, un jeune garcon de douzo an* etait 

 occupr i\ faire un filet ;' uno toute petite fille etait assist- a 

 terre(i) et mangeait une croute de pain ; uno enfant, beancoup 

 plus jeune encore, dormait dans un berceau casse,** couvert 

 d'une vieille courtepointe presque en lambeaux.
