Selection From the Writings of Guy De Maupassant, Vol. 4 (Classic Reprint) by Guy de Maupassant Pdf
Excerpt from Selection From the Writings of Guy De Maupassant, Vol. 4 I was sound asleep when my skipper Bernard awoke me by throwing up sand at my window. I opened it, and or my face, on my chest, in my very soul, I felt the cold delicious breath of the night. The sky was a clear blue gray, and alive with the quivering fire of the stars. The sailor, standing at the foot of the wall, said: "Fine weather, sir." "What wind?" "Off shore." "Very well, I'm coming." Half an hour later I was hurrying down to the shore. The horizon was pale with the first rays of dawn, and I saw in the distance behind the Baie des Anges the lights at Nice, and still further on the revolving lighthouse at Villefranche.
