Which lines in this excerpt from guy de maupassant's short story "boule de suif" suggest that the resistance activities of the civilians were more courageous than those of the armed soldiers? even the town itself resumed by degrees its ordinary aspect. the french seldom walked abroad, but the streets swarmed with prussian soldiers. moreover, the officers of the blue hussars, who arrogantly dragged their instruments of death along the pavements, seemed to hold the simple townsmen in but little more contempt than did the french cavalry officers who had drunk at the same cafes the year before. . the conquerors exacted money, much money. the inhabitants paid what was asked; they were rich. but, the wealthier a norman tradesman becomes, the more he suffers at having to part with anything that belongs to him, at having to see any portion of his substance pass into the hands of another. nevertheless, within six or seven miles of the town, along the course of the river as it flows onward to croisset, dieppedalle and biessart, boat-men and fishermen often hauled to the surface of the water the body of a german, bloated in his uniform, killed by a blow from knife or club, his head crushed by a stone, or perchance pushed from some bridge into the stream below. the mud of the river-bed swallowed up these obscure acts of vengeance—savage, yet legitimate; these unrecorded deeds of bravery; these silent attacks fraught with greater danger than battles fought in broad day, and surrounded, moreover, with no halo of romance. for hatred of the foreigner ever arms a few intrepid souls, ready to die for an idea. nextreset
