When they were at last in the street, they could find no carriage, and began to look for one, hailing the cabmen they saw passing at a distance.

At last they found on the quay one of those ancient nocturnal cabs that one sees in Paris only after dark, as if they were ashamed to display their wretchedness during the day.
