As they issued out from Susa they found the troop of cavalry awaiting them. The officer in command was well known to Hector, and said: "So it is you that I am to escort to Chivasso, Monsieur Campbell?" "Yes; I am sorry to give you occasion for so much trouble." "No trouble at all; we have not been in the saddle for the past week, and a ride to Chivasso will make a pleasant change.
At the theatre she had been much amused by the air of apprehension with which Odo had appeared to seek, among the dowdy or vulgar inmates of the boxes, the sender of the mysterious billet; and the contrast between the elegant gentleman in embroidered coat and gold-hilted sword, and the sleepy bewildered little boy of the midnight feast at Chivasso, had seized her with such comic effect that she could not resist a playful allusion to their former meeting.
On the other hand, while the affluents of the Po send off a great quantity of water into canals of irrigation, the main trunk loses little or nothing in that way except at Chivasso.

"Don't do anything foolish, ninny!" cried Bonaparte; hastily; "I should feel still worse if I lost you." "Really, general, you are the hardest man to please that I know of," said Roland with his harsh laugh. And this time he took his way to Chivasso without further delay. Half an hour later, Roland was galloping along the road to Ivrae in a post-chaise.
The artillerymen ran up to the walls, only to find that the guns had been spiked, and they were powerless to inflict any serious damage upon the retiring force. Prince Thomas ordered a sally, but at this moment a regiment of cavalry from Chivasso was seen dashing across the plain, and being without artillery or cavalry the order was countermanded.
