Chapter 8

At last he turned and looked at me with an expression¹ that made me feel guilty² enough at having asked. “But that isn’t all, m’sieur; I haven’t told you the worst part yet. Last week his father—Fran?ois’s father—came here to see me. He asked me if I knew anything about Fran?ois—how he died. What could I say? Of course I couldn’t tell him. I saw him fall—that’s all I said. And I was glad, then, that I hadn’t done it.... No, I can’t talk about it any more, m’sieur. Don’t ask me to, please!”
