Hof. Cursing at the delay, strode
into the village inn and ordered cold
chicken and some wine to be served
for my dinner. 1t was but few more
miles TO Ilof, and mad every hope that
might deliver my papers to the prince
OH that very night, and be on my way
for France next morning with dis
patches for the emperor in my bosom.
/ will tell you now what befell me in
the inn of Lobcnstein.
The chicken had been served and the
wine drawn, and / had turned upon
both as a man may who has ridden such
u ride, when | was aware of n murmur
md scufiling in the hall outside my
loor. At first l thought il was some
brawl between some peasants in their
cups and left them to settle their own
affairs. But of sudden there broke
from the low sullen growl of the voices
Iuch n sound as would send Etienne
Gerard leaping from his dcath-bed. 1t
was the whimpering cry of woman
in pain. Down clattered my knife and
my fork, and i'm an instant was in the
thick of the crowd which had gathered
outside of my door.
