Still such yielding spurred us on to hastier speed, when we looked up after delay and saw the self-denying far ahead.
The Hastiers are an honest family in Lyons, doing business, it is said, on the Place des Terreaux, from father to son, and would be much humiliated to learn that their heir had become a cabinet courier, and rode the highways with the national pack on his back.
