Explore "A Fisher Girl of France" by Fernand Calmettes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Silvere returned rich, for some time at least, for the _Jeune-Adolphine_ had made a great success of her cruise. She was so heavily loaded with fish that she had been hardly able to reach the market at Dieppe, which was better than that of Boulogne. They had thus gained by their delay, and when the fish were sold were well paid for their trouble.
Before going north again for the second cruise they had come to pass a week with their mothers, wives, and daughters, those who tell off day after day, like a chaplet of sorrow, the long months of absence.
