Quote #10
[The] old Bishop seemed to become restless, moved a little, and began to murmur; it was in the French tongue, but Bernard, though he caught some words, could make nothing of them. (9.8.4)
Father Latour starts mumbling in French as he loses consciousness for the last time. It'd be nice if he said something poetic or inspiring, but the truth is that all of his words sound like nonsense to Bernard, the only good speaker of French in the room. This just goes to show one last time how language has a way of dancing away from us just when we want to grab hold of it most.
