Adieu; I must quit you, for the hour is far advanced, and to-morrow will not be an idle day. Adieu, Adieu!
With a laugh and a cheery adieu the officer bade me good luck and pedalled off. I could not help thinking that I had had a lucky escape.

Jack and the count now returned to the house, and the next morning, after a cordial adieu to the host and hostess, he rode back with his men to Castillon.

Father wished once more to press you to his heart." The emperor and his child never met again.
