a lamp-shade
to bow (_intr_)
to disturb
the eyeglass
to stammer
the information
right at the back of the study
when he had finished, he turned to me
what do you want me to do with that?
33
thanks to
the forefinger
the whiskers
a shoulder
to add
on the contrary
it was he who broached the subject
a bunch of keys
to grind one’s teeth
34
willingly
the frenzy
a loss
to wander
the wire lattice
to take one’s bearings
if you stir, beware!
at long intervals
he was coming to meet me
35
wrinkled
slender, slim
lank
shrivelled
the fairy
fencing
he looked very good-natured
on the way he told me stories
I readily accepted
36
a confession
commonplace
to burst
the hearth
the goal
the treatise
a shake of the hand
I will do it by myself
a man’s duty to his friends
37
the window-pane
the figure, number
the bedside
the salary
the speech
a dream
to wake up with a start
to walk up and down
the half-bottle of wine to which they are entitled
38
out of breath
the priest
to romp
the inch
the devil
joyful
hat does not matter
he did not return my bow
the biggest was the first to speak
39
the frock-coat
the belt
the box
to fill
the garrison
to drag away
to make some one’s acquaintance
I want you to be one of the party
on the whole, you have fallen on your feet
40
the stick
to roam
to jostle
the pun
shameless
to drive away
it is not her fault
gradually _or_ little by little
he was talking loudly, with his glass in his hand
41
the day before
to disdain
proud
a scamp
solemn
to retire
as one might have thought
he proposed Daniel’s health
they looked at me more favourably
42
to threaten
the desk
to whisper
to swell
to chirp
sneering
more and more
he climbed the pulpit steps
they never did me any harm
43
to boast (_intr_)
the rabbit
the paw
the tale
fright
according to
to fold one’s arms
to open one’s eyes wide
three times a week
44
dumb
average
to despise
to reward
to scold
the witness
I never told any more stories
it broke my heart not to be able to do it
he is destitute of everything
45
the stain
the penknife
to spread out
the torture
the lawn
the carnet
to bear some one ill-will
as fast as possible
from top to bottom
46
crooked
in rags
the ugliness
to comb
the gutter
bandy-legged
it was no good my shouting to them . .
that is easily seen from his manners
tousled hair
47
the cloud, swarm
the monkey
the shoe
the knot
stiff
laughable
to be upon the enemy’s heels
I have gut hardly any more
as if there were nothing the matter
48
to jest
the fist
the cake
the square
to be ashamed
to get under way
to play some one a trick
with a submissive look
he thought he was very beautiful
