My answers certainly satisfied him, for he took me by the hand and said to me in a tone not without emotion: «Go, Sir, I will give you some one to accompany you; I like the English; I have seen them under fire; I was at Inkermann.» The next day, having advanced too near Courbevoie, I was arrested by a patrol, and taken before a Commander of the army of Versailles.
When they got to the crossroads at Courbevoie they were seized with admiration for the distant landscape.
Soon after my appointment, he invited me to dinner at his country-house at Courbevoie. Seated near him at table, we talked of studies, of the different modes of teaching, of ancient and modern classics, with the freedom of old acquaintances, and almost with the association of fellow-labourers. The conversation turned upon the Latin poets and their commentators.
We then rowed up the river for about a mile beyond Courbevoie. moored our boat to a friendly willow, put our fishing-tackle together, and composed ourselves for the gentle excitement that waits upon the gudgeon and the minnow. "I haven't yet had a single nibble," said Müller, when we had been sitting to our work for something less than ten minutes. "Hush!" I said. "You mustn't speak, you know."
"And if your Majesties are fully determined to go no further in this business, I will ask leave to withdraw and set out for Courbevoie at once. Every moment is precious, and an hour's delay may mean the loss of many lives." "No, no, Beaufort, I cannot let you go," cried the King, starting up.
Ride straight along the main road, as if you were making back for Paris, until you come to four cross-roads with a sign-post pointing to Courbevoie. Turn down there and go along the road until you meet a close spinney of fir-trees on your right. Make for the interior of that. It gives splendid shelter, and you can dismount there and give the horses a feed. We'll join you one hour after midnight.
