Near them some men were listening: Levaque, with clenched fists; Pierron, turning his back and much annoyed that he had no longer been able to feign a fever. There were also Father Bonnemort and old Mouque, seated side by side on a stump, lost in deep meditation.
Pres d'eux, des hommes les écoutaient: Levaque les poings serrés, Pierron tournant le dos, tres inquiet de n'avoir pu prétexter des fievres plus longtemps; et il y avait aussi le pere Bonnemort et le vieux Mouque, côte a côte, sur une souche, l'air profondément réfléchi.
