And now that my feet were on French soil my heart despised but still adoring was under the magnolias. In bitter mood next morning I went down to 68 THE SWALLOW breakfast at the cheap hotel near the station where I had spent the night. A bare-legged bandit mopping the floor paused long enough to bring me a tray, then returned to his bucket of dirty water. At the first taste of cold rolls and cafe au lait my American blood revolted. "Slop under foot and slop under my belt, " I commented aloud. "O...ut, monsieur" said the waiter. He was a reckless-looking bandit and had he understood would doubtless have substituted me for the mop-rag. As he did not, it gave me a petty pleasure to murmur insults in the tone of polite nothings. "Another bandit, " I cooed to the maitre d'hotel when I went to pay my bill at the office. "Filth and son of filth, why aren't you in the trenches instead of robbing innocent travellers of their last buck?" "Om monsieur" he replied with a flash of teeth through his long black moustaches.
