Tuvache by his side listened to him with staring eyes. Monsieur Derozerays from time to time softly closed his eyelids, and farther on the chemist, with his son Napoleon between his knees, put his hand behind his ear in order not to lose a syllable.
Tuvache, à côté de lui, l’écoutait en écarquillant les yeux; M. Derozerays, de temps à autre, fermait doucement les paupières; et, plus loin, le pharmacien, avec son fils Napoléon entre ses jambes, bombait sa main contre son oreille pour ne pas perdre une seule syllabe.
