A sentinel was placed over the ruins to protect the property, and the party adjourned to Tentaillon's to break their fast at the Doctor's expense. The bottle circulated somewhat freely; and before they left the table it had begun to snow. For three days the snow continued to fall, and the ruins, covered with tarpaulin and watched by sentries, were left undisturbed.
About eleven Casimir arrived; he had caught an early train to Fontainebleau, and driven over, to save time; and now his cab was stabled at Tentaillon's, and he remarked, studying his watch, that he could spare an hour and a half. He was much the man of business, decisively spoken, given to frowning in an intellectual manner.
Their entrance into Gretz was heralded and accompanied by a most furious barking; all the dogs in the village seemed to smell the treasure in the noddy. But there was no one in the street, save three lounging landscape-painters at Tentaillon's door.
"Hullo!" cried Casimir, "there goes the stable-boy with his luggage; no, egad, he is taking it into the inn." And sure enough, Jean-Marie was seen to cross the snowy street and enter Tentaillon's, staggering under a large hamper. The Doctor stopped with a sudden, wild hope. "What can he have?" he said. "Let us go and see." And he hurried on. "His luggage, to be sure," answered Casimir.

"There is no more fear of snow." "My friend," returned Casimir sententiously, "you had better wait till you get paid." The Doctor winced, and began dragging his offensive brother-in-law towards Tentaillon's. In the house there would be fewer auditors, and these already in the secret of his fall.

On one of the posts before Tentaillon's carriage entry he espied a little dark figure perched in a meditative attitude, and immediately recognised Jean-Marie. 'Aha! he said, stopping before him humorously, with a hand on either knee. 'So we rise early in the morning, do we? It appears to me that we have all the vices of a philosopher. The boy got to his feet and made a grave salutation.

And here, for instance, Doctor Desprez, a man past forty, who had made what is called a failure in life, and was moreover married, found himself at a new point of departure when he opened the door of the loft above Tentaillon's stable. It was a large place, lighted only by a single candle set upon the floor.
