She did not return to the house, however, but remained standing near them, as if to watch them and to find out for what purpose they had come there. "You have come from Fécamp?" she said. "Yes," Monsieur d'Apreval replied, "we are staying at Fécamp for the summer." And then, after a short silence he continued: "Have you any fowls you could sell us every week?"

A little farther on the road passed beneath a clump of trees, which hid a few houses, and they could distinguish the vibrating and regular blows of a blacksmith's hammer on the anvil; and presently they saw a wagon standing on the right side of the road in front of a low cottage, and two men shoeing a horse under a shed. Monsieur d'Apreval went up to them.
Madame de Cadour turned to her old friend and said: "Will you come with me, Monsieur d'Apreval?" He bowed with a smile, and with all the gallantry of former years: "I will go wherever you go," he replied. "Very well, then, go and get a sunstroke," Monsieur de Cadour said; and he went back to the Hotel des Bains to lie down for an hour or two.
Neither of them replied, and when the husband asked them, rubbing his hands: "Well, I hope that, at least, you have had a pleasant walk?" Monsieur d'Apreval replied: "A delightful walk, I assure you; perfectly delightful." They went there every evening about eleven o'clock, just as they would go to the club.

Monsieur d'Apreval replied: "A delightful walk, I assure you; perfectly delightful." My friend Ledantec and I were twenty-five and we had come to London for the first time in our lives.
You chose Fécamp, which is a very dull town, without consulting me in the matter, and now you are seized with such a rage for walking, you who hardly ever stir out on foot, that you want to take a country walk on the hottest day of the year. Ask d'Apreval to go with you, as he is ready to gratify all your whims. As for me, I am going back to have a nap."
If anybody should find it, please let us know." Mother Benedict did not reply, as she thought it a very equivocal sort of answer, but suddenly she exclaimed: "Oh, here is my husband!" She was the only one who had seen him, as she was facing the gate. D'Apreval started and Madame de Cadour nearly fell as she turned round suddenly on her chair.
