Proud of this service, which necessitated the hire of an extra horse, Pierrotin was wont to say: "We went at a fine pace!" But in order to do the twenty-seven miles in five hours with his caravan, he was forced to omit certain stoppages along the road, at Saint-Brice, Moisselles, and La Cave. The hotel du Lion d'Argent occupies a piece of land which is very deep for its width.
Madame de Reybert thereupon reminded, or, perhaps, informed the whole country-side of Madame Moreau's former station. The words "waiting-maid" flew from lip to lip.

As Pierrotin drove down the narrow road to Moisselles, Georges, who had so far not ceased to talk with the farmer of the beauty of the hostess at Saint-Brice, suddenly exclaimed: "Upon my word, this landscape is not so bad, great painter, is it?" "Pooh! you who have seen the East and Spain can't really admire it." "I've two cigars left!
