All the white beds the "lits d'ange," as they were poetically termed lay visible at a glance; all were empty: no sleeper reposed therein.

In vain did les femmes strain their necks and eyes to find the black man who was stronger than six Frenchmen. And B. and I noticed our bed-clothing airing upon the window-sills. When we mounted, Jean was patting and straightening our blankets, and looking for the first time in his life guilty of some enormous crime. Nothing however had disappeared.
