Zola did not want to risk buyinga house; what he wanted was only to rent one, hisnative prudence making him hesitate at the expendi-ture of a large sum of money.

He rises at eight in the morning, and dressesfor the country in very rustic attire, his favouriteapparel being a suit of brown corduroy velvet, withheavy shooting-boots. Directly after rising he takesa walk with his dogs, amongst which his favourite isa little terrier, a kind of Dandie Dinmont, calledEaton, who has a great dislike to strangers ingeneral, and to interviewers in particular. Some-times Madame Zola joins in these walks, which arenever of long duration, and rarely extend beyond ahundred yards on the other side of the bridge overthe Seine frontinor which the house lies. The houseis reached again at a quarter to nine, when the firstbreakfast is served. The premier dejeuner in Franceusually consists of little beyond a roll and a cupof tea, or chocolate, or coffee.
