Which two lines in this excerpt from Guy de Maupassant's short story "Boule de Sulf" show that relations between most French and German people remained friendly despite the war?
At the end of a short time, once the first terror had subsided, calm was again restored. In many houses thg. Prussian officer ate at the same
table with the family. He was often well-bred, and, out of politeness, expressed sympathy with France and repugnance at being compelled to
take part in the war. This sentiment was received with gratitude; besides, his protection might be needful some day or other. By the exercise of
tact the number of men quartered in one's house might be reduced; and why should one provoke the hostility of a person on whom one's whole
welfare depended? Such conduct would savor less of bravery than of fool- hardiness. And foolhardiness is no longer a falling of the citizens of
Rouen as it was in the days when their city earned renown by its herolc defenses. Last of all-final argument based on the national politeness-
the folk of Rouen sald to one another that it was only right to be civil in one's own house, provided there was no public exhibition of familiarity
with the foreigner. Out of doors, therefore, citizen and soldier did not know each other, but in the house both chatted freely, and each evening
the German remained a little longer warming himself at the hospitable hearth.
