1. _____ "The Marriage of Tartine."

2. _____ As he lay on the hard concrete an uneasy thought worried him, like a mouse gnawing at his shoestring. Now that he had befriended these starlings, his life would never again be completely his own.

3. _____ "The mate to the one in my buggy," he cried. "That's it!"

4. _____ "Ho, ho, ho!" he laughed in the way that Father Christmas should laugh. "Look at whose dear old grandpapa has come to see me today."

5. _____ A policeman was entering the yard. He was a stern-looking officer with a heavy coat and full-cut cape. His hat was pulled down over his thick eyebrows.

6. _____ Then the crowd of hoboes and their ladies and friends sang Christmas carols to the accordion music.

7. _____ "It isn't walls and furniture that make a home," Armand told Mosieur Brunot. "It's the family."

8. _____ The dusky gypsies were gathered around a campfire. The building peaks rising behind them made the scene one of a lonely gypsy camp at the foot of a bare Spanish mountain instead of in the crowded heart of Paris.

9. _____ "A bath!" exclaimed Armand in alarm. "At this time of the year?"

10. _____ He raced his buggy across the cobblestones toward the arch. When he arrived there, he reached up and angrily tore down the canvas with one swoop of his arm. Then he jumped back in surprise and horror.
