"Tiens! mon enfant" I heard her say as we turned away, "suppose they don't come back again!" We had promised to be gone not longer, than twenty minutes, or at most half an hour. Müller led the way straight to the Toison d' Or. I took him by the arm as we neared the gate. "Steady, steady, mon gaillard" I said.
