"What does she say?"
"She tells them to hold the foot of the ladder steady."
"Oh! do you see, it was in taking away the long ladder which was against our window that they made such a noise just now."
"I hear nothing more."
"What are they doing with the ladder now?"
"I can't see anything more."
"Do you hear nothing?"
"No."
"Oh, Francois, it is, perhaps, to get into brother Martial's room by the window that they have taken the ladder?"
"That may be."
