"No; but I wish to guarantee you in any case. You shall give me back the sum at my return. At what value do you estimate your horse and cabriolet?" "Five hundred francs, Monsieur le Maire." "Here it is." M. Madeleine laid a bank-bill on the table, then left the room; and this time he did not return. Master Scaufflaire experienced a frightful regret that he had not said a thousand francs.
At Saint-Pol he had the horse unharnessed at the first inn he came to and led to the stable; as he had promised Scaufflaire, he stood beside the manger while the horse was eating; he thought of sad and confusing things. The inn-keeper's wife came to the stable. "Does not Monsieur wish to breakfast?" "Come, that is true; I even have a good appetite."
He had a vague feeling that he might be obliged to go to Arras; and without having the least in the world made up his mind to this trip, he said to himself that being, as he was, beyond the shadow of any suspicion, there could be nothing out of the way in being a witness to what was to take place, and he engaged the tilbury from Scaufflaire in order to be prepared in any event.
