When the Blues reached an acclivity on the road from which the plateau of La Pelerine could again be seen in the distance, Hulot turned round to discover if the Chouans were still occupying it, and the sun, glinting on the muzzles of the guns, showed them to him, each like a dazzling spot.
When you reach the summit of the slope we are now ascending you will see the plateau of Mont Pelerine in the distance. Let us hope the Chouans won't take their revenge there. Now, in going up hill and going down hill one doesn't make much headway. From La Pelerine you will still see " The young emigre made a movement at the name which Marie alone noticed.
Hulot, with two or three sharp commands, put his troop in line of battle and ordered it to return to the summit of La Pelerine where his little advanced-guard were stationed; walking last himself and looking backward to note any changes that might occur in a scene which Nature had made so lovely, and man so terrible.
The premonitory whirring of the clock spring sounded once more, followed by the slow, increasing strokes ... Again. His body wavered, on the verge of sleep, and he straightened himself sharply; then he rose and, putting back the Forgebook, undressed. Susan, at breakfast, her shoulders wrapped in a serious-toned pelerine, said little.
And she pressed her pelerine over her heart once more not perhaps on this occasion to restrain, but doubtless only to caress that generous heart. "Madame," I said, shaking my finger at her, "you have wantonly aroused the indignation of an aged man.
Having secretly admired the punishments devised by the Lady of the Enchanted Pelerine, I responded: "Then, if I understand you rightly, Jeanne, you are at once a pupil here and a mistress? It is a condition of existence very common in the world. You are punished, and you punish?" "Oh, Monsieur!" she exclaimed. "No! I never punish!"
Giving a last glance to the valley of La Pelerine before turning into that of Ernee, he thought he saw Coupiau's vehicle on the road he had just traversed. "Isn't that the Mayenne coach?" he said to his two officers. They looked at the venerable turgotine, and easily recognized it. "But," said Hulot, "how did we fail to meet it?" Merle and Gerard looked at each other in silence.
For these reasons she dressed her hair with marabouts, put on her prettiest gown of gray and pink, which allowed her fine shoulders to be seen beneath a pelerine of black lace, and took care to keep Celeste in a little silk frock made with a yoke and a large plaited collarette, telling her to dress her hair plainly, a la Berthe. At half-past four o'clock Theodose was at his post.
"Another enigma!" cried the commandant. "But I begin to see the meaning of it all." At the same moment Marche-a-Terre, who also knew the turgotine, called his comrades' attention to it, and the general shout of joy which they sent up roused the young lady from her reflections. She advanced a little distance and saw the coach, which was beginning the ascent of La Pelerine with fatal rapidity.
"Hey, Monsieur Gudin, if it gets into the pockets of your Reverence, they won't be weighed down with it." When the Blues marched by, after the encounter on La Pelerine, they were in such haste to reach Ernee that they passed the little inn without halting. At the sound of their hasty march, Gudin and the innkeeper, stirred by curiosity, went to the gate of the courtyard to watch them.
