Instantly, his anger rose.
The countess assailed him with many questions, more or less sensible, which he endured patiently until the servant had left the room. Catrina, with flushed cheeks, stood looking at him, but said nothing. Paul withdrew his gloves and submitted to the countess' futile tugs at his fur coat. Then Catrina spoke. "The Baron de Chauxville has left us," she said, without knowing exactly why.
I was not much hurt, but found the ponies half covered with stones and rocks that had rolled on to them, the wagon upside down and camping material scattered everywhere.
