9. GUY DE MAUPASSANT ORIGINAL SHORT STORIES Translated by ALBERT M. C. McMASTER, B. A. A. E. HENDERSON, B. A. MME. QUESADA and Others VOLUME IX. TOINE He was known for thirty miles round was father Toine--fat Toine, Toine-my-extra, Antoine Macheble, nicknamed Burnt-Brandy--theinnkeeper of Tournevent. It was he who had made famous this hamlet buried in a niche in the valleythat led down to the sea, a poor little peasants' hamlet consisting often Norman cottages surrounded by ditches and tree...s. The houses were hidden behind a curve which had given the place the nameof Tournevent. It seemed to have sought shelter in this ravine overgrownwith grass and rushes, from the keen, salt sea wind--the ocean windthat devours and burns like fire, that drys up and withers like thesharpest frost of winter, just as birds seek shelter in the furrows ofthe fields in time of storm. But the whole hamlet seemed to be the property of AntoineMacheble, nicknamed Burnt-Brandy, who was called also Toine, or Toine-My-Extra-Special, the latter in consequence of a phrase currentin his mouth: "My Extra-Special is the best in France:" His "Extra-Special" was, of course, his cognac.
