Note 29 — VI.—Contes des Fées.
Reading edition
The old woman rises to go to the fire, and as she stoops to take it,29 the man seizes the flint and escapes, running as if he would break his feet. But the old woman runs as fast as our runner; but she only catches him as he is jumping into the ship; she tears off the shirt, and the skin of his neck and back with it, and he falls into the ship.
