Struggling with her big basket and breathing hard, Gervaise slackened her pace and let her body relax as she walked up the street, feeling a vague sensual craving, made stronger still by her tiredness. She’d have loved something nice to eat. Looking up and seeing the sign of the Rue Marcadet, she suddenly had the idea of dropping in on Goujet at the forge.
