"Very well, you have only to choose; there are the hinges. What else do you need?"
"That's all."
"It is not much."
"Get my goods ready at once, Daddy Micou, I will take them as I pass;
I have some more errands to do."
"With your cart? I say, I saw a bale of goods in the bottom; is it something more that you have taken from everybody's cupboard, little glutton?"
"As you say, Daddy Micou: but you don't eat this; don't make me wait for my iron, for I must be back to the island by twelve o'clock."
"Don't be uneasy, it is eight o'clock; if you are not going far, in an hour you can return, all will be ready, Will you take a drop?"
"To be sure; you can well afford to pay it!"
Daddy Micou took out of an old chest a bottle of brandy, a cracked glass, a cup without a handle, and poured out the liquor.
"Your health, old 'un!"
