He went out to see if the cars were ready and returned to call the nurses, and in a few minutes they were off again.
The road now ran through forests nearly all the way, except where villages had cleared a space around them, as was plain to see.

They crossed little streams, and finally came downhill through the forest into the river valley that leads to Dieppe.

It was still early, and Peter stopped the cars to suggest that they might have a look at the castle of Arques-le-Bataille.

The grand old pile kept them nearly an hour, and they wandered about the ruins to their hearts' content.
