Un tapage de ruche ou de ruisseau, dès qu’elles sont seulement cinq ou six à travailler, — puis quand midi sonne, le silence !… Les doigts s’arrêtent, les lèvres bougent, on dit la courte prière de l’Angelus. Quand celle qui l’a dit a fini, tous répondent mélancoliquement : Amen ! et les carreaux se remettent à bavarder…
La mince veilleuse remonta dans l’air avec un bruit de chaîne. Bientôt retentit sur le pavé un saut régulier de sabots que suivait un frôlement de corde traînant, et la maigre cloche jeta l’Angelus du soir à travers les brumes grandissantes.
