Explore "Martin's Girl" by Guy De Maupassant on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It happened to him one Sunday after Mass. He came out of church and was following the sunken road that led to his house, when he found himself behind Martin's girl, who also was on her way home.
The head of the house marched beside his daughter with the consequential step of the prosperous farmer. Disdaining a smock, he wore a sort of jacket of grey cloth, and on his head a wide-brimmed felt hat.
