"What in the name of all the saints have you there?" The old priest, resting on the edge of the bed, proudly held up a magnificent potato. "You may well stare, dear women, all of you," he replied. "These delicate vegetables--indigenous to Chili and Peru, and for the discovery of which we are indebted to heretics over the water--are of my own growing, among the first reared in Champagne." "And are we going to feast on them this very night, dear father?" asked Regine. The little lady had two weaknesses: she was just a trifle epicurean, and she delighted in any kind of diversion, especially games of hazard. "That depends," said the priest, putting back his potato and screwing up the ends of his skirt. "That depends upon good behaviour." He dropped his voice almost to a whisper. "Is it for poor defenceless lambs to fly at the wolf? Come, come, my dear little lady, reserve your--your temper----" "Temper, do you call it?" Regine was again on the point of vehement outburst, but Father Floryet knew how to deal with feminine waywardness. "As you please, madame, --I mean, citizen--exactly as you please. Pout, sulk, to your heart's content, vituperate like a fish-wife, disobey orders, no absolution to-morrow. And, remember, orthodox priests are not as thick as blackberries just now----ahem--in the place you come from, in the place you are going to, if ever you get back again, I should not like one of my flock to go unabsolved for years, who knows, to the grave."

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Tono-Bungay H. G. Wells - Tono-Bungay by H.G. Wells is a story about George Ponderevo, who is persuaded to assist his uncle Edward in developing selling Tono-Bungay, a patent medicine. George spends seven years organizing and manufacturing the product, despite his belief that it is "a damned swindle." He then abandons day-to-day operations in favour of aeronautics. Still, he remains associated with his uncle, who develops into a first-rate financier and is on the verge of achieving social and economic dominance when his business empire implodes. George attempts to rescue his uncle's faltering finances by having stolen large quantities of a radioactive compound known as "quap" from an island off the coast of West Africa, but the excursion fails. George then arranges for his uncle's escape from England in an experimental aircraft he built. Still, the bankrupt entrepreneur-turned-financier contracts pneumonia and dies in a village near Bordeaux, despite George's efforts to save him.
