First lines
"No, no, m'sieu' the governor, they did not tell you right. I was with him, and I have known Little Babiche fifteen years -- as long as I've known you. It was against the time when down in your world there they have feastings, and in the churches the grand songs and many candles on the altars. Yes, Noel, that is the word -- the day of the Great Birth. You shall hear how strange it all was -- the thing, the time, the end of it."
