"Will Madame la comtesse wait here under shelter?" asked the coachman, pointing to the chief inn of Ballan. She made a sign of assent, and we stayed nearly half an hour under the vaulted entrance, to the great surprise of the inn-people who wondered what brought Madame de Mortsauf on that road at eleven o'clock at night. Was she going to Tours? Had she come from there?
Whichever comes back alive will tap at her door, and call her in to share the repast with him she's not off the premises. But we must not alarm her now; and above all things we must not let the inn-people see us go out; it would look so odd for two to go out, and only one come in. Ha! ha! 'Ha! ha! exactly. 'Are you ready? 'Oh quite. 'Then I'll lead the way.
I ran once more through all the house, calling the painters, but no one made answer; the inn-people stared at me, the postilion cursed, the horses neighed, and, at last, completely dazed, I sprang into the carriage, the hostler shut the door behind me, the postilion cracked his whip, and away I went into the wide world. We drove on now over hill and dale, day and night.
