"Ah! ah!"

"You understand! one does not easily renounce such a woman."

"No, I feel for you."

"You jest."

"No, on my word, and the proof is, that if you will give me my
instructions, I will watch this evening."

"You retract your decision?"

"There is no one but the pope infallible; now tell me what I am
to do."

"You will have to hide a little way off, and if a man enter, follow
him to find out who he is?"

"But if, in entering, he close the door behind him?"

"I told you I had a key."

"Ah! true; then there is only one more thing to fear, that I should
follow a wrong man to a wrong door."

"You cannot mistake; this door is the door of an alley, and at
the end of the alley there is a staircase; mount twelve steps,
and you will be in a corridor."
