REALISTS

Chapter XXI Jupillon was a true Parisian: he loved to fish with a pole and line. And when summer came they stayed there all day, at the foot of the garden, on the bank of the stream—Jupillon on a laundry board resting on two stakes, pole in hand, and Germinie sitting, with the child in her skirts, under the medlar tree that overhung the stream.
