"If I had heard otherwise," said the old man, looking up with a stern and menacing countenance, "you should have heard of it too." The group would have been an excellent subject for the pencil of Calotte. The van had already reached a small and stunted thicket, which was at the bottom of the hill, and which gradually hid the line of march until the last stragglers disappeared.
