No, replied the savage. I viii have
nothing to do with the affair.
It was not an easy task to drag you
without assistance from the place where
you were lying, out into the open air, down
the steps, and to put you into my convey
ance, which was standing outside; but l
managed to do it. The next thing l had
to accomplish was the feat of driving two

I led my own horse round to TIE gate Of

a halter to the back of ny carriage, and
then leading my own beast by the bride l

(though only at foot-pace) wo turned
our backs upon the Teto Noire. And now
you know every thing.
I feel, Castaing, as if I should never be

of it again. It wears, somehow or other
such a CHASTITY aspect. that l sicken at the
mere memory of it.
