Count Hannibal

CHAPTER XXIX
17/27

La Tribe from behind muttered something about the stable.
"And time too!" the man said.

"Faugh! But how come you this way?
Are you drunk?

And take them down when it is dark.
Faugh.

I wonder you did not carry the things though her ladyship's room at once! If my lord had been in and met you! Now then, do as I tell you! Are you drunk ?" With a sullen air Tignonville threw in his mattress.

La Tribe did the same.

Fortunately the passage was ill-lighted, and there were many helpers and strange servants in the inn.
