192. Peasants assembled under a vine-trellis, in front of a
guinguette, or ale-house. The principal group is composed
of two men, and a woman ; the former appear to have been
gambling, and a dispute has arisen, which has induced one of
them to rise hastily from his seat (a form), which has, in con-
sequence, fallen over ; several cards lie scattered on the ground,
and others are on a tub, which serves for a table; on the far-
ther side of it is seated the female, who, in the bustle, has care-
fully caught up the jug of liquor and glass. The quarrel
attracts the attention of a man, seated on a basket near them;
while a fiddler, standing at a distance, continues to scrape his
instrument. Three men and a woman are near the door of the
house; an old pump and a pail are on the same side and front.

194. An Exterior. A company of five men and a woman,
disposed round a table, under a vine-trellis, in the court or gar-
den of a guinguette; one of the former, who is seated on a
stool, in front, is in the act of taking a glass of liquor from his
comrade, who has risen from a form, with a pewter jug in his
hand, to present it: beyond these are four others, near a shed;
