"Pauvre fille." He pauses his speech as he pushes the needle through Bayabe's flesh one last time to finish closing the wound. "She hid, simple as that. I don't know for how long, or how she kept from calling out once things quieted down. But she did. Saved her life, for certain." Marcel sets down the needle and silk, wiping the affected area with a clean cloth and inspecting the sutures. "No injuries except those up here." He taps a finger to the side of his head. "I can't imagine having to live with what she must." He shrugs. "But she is young, I suppose. She will grow up, fall in love, marry some farmer or shoemaker, and have many babies. It is the way of things."Marcel moves to the sink, washing his hands vigorously. "I find folly in thinking that the French and the French alone can govern these people. Before we arrived, they lived their lives, did they not? True, the departure of the Europeans would leave Algeria in a time of strife. But eventually things would settle back to how it was. As deaths mount, the French people will not stand for it. The days of colonialism are over, doctor. I fight for the Legion and my comrades, not some ideal that France should rule over these people. If I can stop a person, be they French, Algerian, German, Italian, whatever, from dying an unjust death, I will do all in my power to do so." He speaks with conviction, his clear voice filling the surgery.[/sblock]</blockquote>
