I was away, but they carried off my wife as a prisoner, and burnt the house to the ground. So we have come here to see if we cannot get her out of prison.
Brenon, on being told what had happened, agreed that it would certainly be safest for them to go on board. "I have two friends living here," he said, "both of whom are carriers, and keep eight or ten horses. Tomorrow morning, early, I will take one of your horses to one and the second to the other.
I will tie them up in that shed, for the present, and then clear out a stall for them afterwards." The horses were led to a shed, encumbered with fishing gear of all sorts. "What madness has seized you, mon capitaine, to put your head into this lion's den?" "I will tell you presently, Brenon, when we get inside. I am glad that you are able to take the horses in.
