"Who is it you are talking of? Who is hungry?"
"He, the poor lad."
"Who is he?"
"Why, Monsieur Michel."
"Monsieur Michel here!"
"Didn't you know it?"
"No."
"Two hours ago--after Mademoiselle Bertha returned from the chapel, just before the soldiers arrived--he came to the kitchen."
"Didn't he go away with Petit-Pierre?"
"No."
