As for Morgan, he watched Patout till he saw him disappear down the courtyard and enter the dark stable; then, skirting the hedge which bordered the garden, he went toward a large clump of trees whose lofty tops were silhouetted against the darkness of the night, with the majesty of things immovable, the while their shadows fell upon a charming little country house known in the neighborhood as the Chateau des Noires-Fontaines.
I am no less impatient than you; so I'll ask you not to go to bed, my good Patout." "Ah! You know well, monsieur, that when you come I don't often go to bed. As for the horse Goodness! You change them every day? The time before last it was a chestnut, the last time a dapple-gray, now a black one." "Yes, I'm somewhat capricious by nature.
