“No, Madame.”
“To what province are you going?”
“Brittany.”
“When?”
“At six o’clock tonight.”
“Have you a wife?”
“Yes, Madame.”
“Will you do something for me?”
“With the greatest pleasure!”
“Well, keep that casque in your hand until you arrive in Brittany. Then give it to your wife. She will always love you for it and your children will never forget such a father!”
