There was not a soul to be seen, and the reek of the roast sheep told him that Petrus and his household were assembled at supper. "I might come inopportunely on the feasters," said he to himself, as he threw the buck over from his left to his right shoulder, and looked up at Sirona's window, which he knew only too well.
