Excerpt from Chez Nous
Il y en avait d'une parure plus opulente il n'y en avait pas de meilleures à voir. Ses quatre murs, solides, fortement liés, de tout repos, inspiraient d'abord confiance. Les pierres étaient vieilles mais, à chaque printemps, elles faisaient leur toilette à la chaux, et il n'y avait guère de maisons aussi blanches dans toute la paroisse. Et voyez vous comme, sur cette blancheur mate et chaude, les volets verts se détachaient et réjouissaient l'oeil Une petite vigne cana dienne, accrochant ses vrilles aux balèvres du long pan, grimpait du solage aux acoyaux, cou rait sous le larmier, et allait vers le soleil pous ser ses plus belles feuilles au pignon. Le toit aussi était agréable à regarder, avec ses bar deaux goudronnés, la lisière blanche de son cadre, ses lucarnes en accent circonflexe, son.
