Excerpt: ...tell you, I do not see any trees." "Not on the big road?" "I can't see anything." "We've made a mistake." I could say nothing, for I did not know where we were, nor where we were going. "Let us walk for another five minutes and, if we do not see the trees, we will come back here. I might have made a mistake on the road." Now that I knew that we had gone astray, I Pg 188 seemed to have no more strength left. Vitalis pulled me by the arm. "Come, come." "I can't walk any farther."

"What is that light to us?" he asked; "it is a lamp burning on the table of some worker, or it's near the bed of a dying person. We cannot go and Pg 189 knock at those doors. Away in the country, during the night, you can ask hospitality, but so near Paris . we must not expect hospitality here. Come." A few steps more and I thought I could make out the cross-roads and a black mass which must be the trees. I let go of my master's hand to go ahead quicker. There were deep ruts in the road.
