“Will you accompany me to Vincennes?” he said. “If you are engaged I will go alone.”
“Alone!” I replied. “How will you be able to find the spot?”
“Oh, I shall easily recognize it. Do you not remember that I saw it in my dream?”
I was curious to know how far he was correct in this. “Very well,” I said, “I will go with you.”
“Get ready, then, while I write to Giordano. You will let Victor take the note for me, will you not?”
“He is at your disposal.”
“Thank you.”
Ten minutes afterwards the letter was despatched. I then sent for a cabriolet and we drove to Vincennes.
When we reached the cross-paths Lucien said, “We are not far off now, I think.”
