As we walked on through the mist and rain, it became necessary to circumvent a fierce-looking bull, and Mignot and the accomplice told rival tales of the dangers to which pedestrians are exposed from the violence of the cattle on some montagnes, where the bulls are allowed to grow to full size and fierceness.
Two of the soldiers entered, and groped their way through the darkness. The master of the house heard their footsteps, and timidly called out: "Who's there?"
