On his return to Havre, the First Consul held a review on the Place de la Citadelle, and visited the artillery barracks, after which he received, until the evening, a large number of public dignitaries and merchants; and the next day, at six o'clock in the morning, we set out for Dieppe. When we arrived at Fecamp, the town presented an extremely singular spectacle.
"Delighted, monsieur." "You will sleep here," he continued, as though he suspected her of sleeping anywhere but there, "and dine with us in the officers' mess at seven. Until then, please stay in the citadelle in case I need you." She heard his footsteps go up the corridor, the lieutenant following him.
'Your chocolate is getting cold, said Daddy kindly. 'We thought you would probably stay in there. We're going over now. It's very late, Rogers added. They said good-night again. She closed and locked the great door of the Citadelle behind them, hearing their steps upon the cobbles in the yard, and for some time afterwards upon the road. But their going away seemed the same as coming nearer.
Rogers found his thoughts were much in that cosy mountain village: the children capered by his side all day; he smelt the woods and flowers; he heard the leaves rustle on the poplar's crest; and had merely to think of a certain room in the tumble-down old Citadelle for a wave of courage and high anticipation to sweep over him like a sea. A new feeling of harmony was taking him in hand.
It was one or the other; I forget exactly, then suddenly 'No, no, I've got it it was the analysis of the father's mind when he found 'Yes, yes, interrupted Rogers. 'We were just passing the Citadelle fountain. I saw the big star upon the top of Boudry, and made a remark about it. His cousin was getting sadly wumbled. He tried to put severity and concentration into his voice.
The next second, in a twinkling, he was gone. He had left them. His body had been waked up by the birds that sang and whistled so loudly in the plane tree outside his window. Monkey and her guide raced on alone into the very room where he now sat up and rubbed his eyes in the Citadelle.
It was unnecessary to specify where, for that same second they found themselves in the room of Mlle. Lemaire. At this hour of the night it was usually dark, except for the glimmer of the low-turned lamp the sufferer never quite extinguished. From dusk till dawn her windows in La Citadelle shone faintly for all to see who chanced to pass along the village street.
'The Dustman! they cried with excitement, easily recognising his energetic yet stooping figure; and Jimbo added, 'the dear old Dustman! while Monkey somersaulted after him, returning breathless a minute later with, 'He's gone; I couldn't get near him. He went straight to La Citadelle
And the old woman in the bed sometimes opened her eyes and peered curiously, expectantly, about her. Even in her sleep she looked for things. Almost, they felt, she seemed aware of their presence near her, she knew that they were there; she smiled. A moment later they were in mid-air on their way to the Citadelle, singing as they went:
Down the dark corridor of the Citadelle, before she left, she did not hear the muffled laughter among the shadows, nor see the movement of two figures that emerged together from the farther end. 'He'll be on the sofa by now. Shall we go for him? It was the voice of Monkey. 'Leave it to me. Jimbo still meant to be leader so far as these two were concerned at any rate. Let come later what might.
