The driver, however, was not in the least disturbed.
He kept turning his head to left and right, but I could not see anything through the darkness.
Suddenly, away on our left I saw a faint flickering blue flame.

The driver saw it at the same moment.

He at once checked the horses, and, jumping to the ground, disappeared into the darkness.

I did not know what to do, the less as the howling of the wolves grew closer.

But while I wondered, the driver suddenly appeared again, and without a word took his seat, and we resumed our journey.
