Excerpt: ...the road, the range of the beams reaching out and climbing the tree trunks in sheltered spots, or flung back and huddled about the front wheels when a blast of fresh snow was swept in from the open valley on the left. "We must be getting to Marbashe?" "Hardly yet, mon capitaine. It was unlucky the brigadier should be at Thionville. I could have mended the spring on the lorry myself, but it wants two men to tow in the car." "This is Marbache!" In the shelter of the hamlet the lights leapt forward and struck a handful of houses, thickened and rounded with snow. Almost immediately darkness swallowed them up, and a drift of snow flung up by the wind burst in powder over the bonnet and on to the glass. "The plain outside. Now we go down a long hill.

No." "Yes, lamps. With the beam broken by the snow." "Go slow." For fear of blinding the driver of a lighted vehicle which might, after all, be moving, one of the men put out his hand and switched off the headlights, and the car glided forward on its own momentum. Thus they came upon Fanny, in the hollow torn by the lamps out of an obscurity which whirled like a dense pillar above her, seated on her mudguard, blanched and still as an image, the iron bar for a weapon in her right hand, the torch ready as a signal in her left. "Julien!" "Well, yes, my poor child!" And she saw the man behind him, and laughed. "Help me down. Within and without I am set in plaster." "You look like a poor, weather-chipped goddess, or an old stone pillar with a face." "Be careful, that leg will not stand.... Oh, look, look how the snow clings. It's frozen on my lap." "We...
