"It" they liad n't, Jules would much like to see the

 scratch one's self a little, it would not be a serious 

 matter. Besides, we will turn our attention to the 

 processionary of the pine, less to be feared than that 

 of the oak. At the warmest part of the day we will 

 go and look for a caterpillars ' nest in the pine wood ; 

 but Jules and I will go alone. It would be too hot 

 for Emile and Claire. "
