"That is nothing to me." The duchess made a gesture of despair.
I waited there five minutes perhaps. The inn-keeper did not reappear, so I returned to my place. I had finished my meal before he came out.

I am the inn-keeper of Montfermeil! Do you understand?
But he is the son of an inn-keeper, and he has common manners. Let us pass him by. There is yet the Sweet Jesus. Do you know the sweet Jesus, Abbé Ridoux? Yes, it is the Abbé Simonet. The Abbé Simonet, said Marcel, I know him; we were together at the Seminary. Do they call him the sweet Jesus? He was a terrible lazy fellow.
In two years' time you will go to Taianfu, the city near the Great Mountain, and there we will meet again." Dung began to feel ill at ease.
