Excerpt from The Nymph Only three deaths, Madame la Marquise, and one of them was a suicide. The young Priest checked a derisive smile. N 0 one seated at this refined dinner-table could see any difference between a death and a suicide, as far as church fees were concerned, and they all wondered what hidden sense of humour prompted the hilarity of their good shepherd. A silence ensued, during which the guests busied them selves with the contents of their plates; whilst the servants paraded noiselessly round the table, pouring out wine, and helping the fish which had been caught that morning in the Loire.
