“She can’t understand that,” declared Bob. “Wait, I’ll translate it to her.” Then, laboriously he said: “Le nom des hommes? Comprehendez-vous?”

“Cochon!” exclaimed Marie, and she seemed to snap out the word as a second lieutenant issues his commands to the awkward squad.
“What did she say?” chorused Ned and Jerry.
Bob was nonplussed. He scratched his head and then repeated the word to Marie.
“Cochon?” he asked.
