He had counted upon my lying the night in one of the intervening towns, for the journey was over-long to be accomplished at a stretch, and wherever I might chance to lie, there I should have to reckon with his assassins. The nearer Toulouse although I knew not this the thicker grew my danger.
The bright beauty and colour of her oval face held him, and he looked over-long looked till she resented, and her own eyes, long-lashed and dark, met his in cool survey. From his face they travelled in evident amusement down to the big revolver at his thigh. Then her eyes came back to his, and in them was amused contempt. It struck him like a blow.
Janetoun and one of her sisters-in-law were the only members of our party who had a hatchet to bury; and the burial was over so quickly being but an extra hug and an explosion of kisses that I should have known nothing about it but for the over-long tongue of Misè Fougueiroun: who, in a kindly way, is as thorough-going a gossip as ever lived.
