 `Mat man, pig? And why look there?'

`Pardon, Monseigneur; he swung by the chain of the shoe the drag.'

 `Who?' demanded the traveller.

 `Monseigneur, the man.'

 `May the Devil carry away these idiots! How do you call the man? You know all the men of this part of the country. Who was he?'

 `Your clemency, Monseigneur! He was not of this part of the country. Of all the days of my life, I never saw him.'

 `Swinging by the chain? To be suffocated?'

 `With your gracious permission, that was the wonder of it, Monseigneur. His head hanging over--like this!'

 He turned himself sideways to the carriage, and leaned back, with his face thrown up to the sky, and his head hanging down; then recovered himself, fumbled with his cap, and made a bow.

 `what was he like?'

 `Monseigneur, he was whiter than the miller. All covered with dust, white as a spectre, tall as a spectre!'

 The picture produced an immense sensation in the little crowd; but all eyes, without comparing notes with other eyes, looked at Monsieur the Marquis. Perhaps, to observe whether he had any spectre on his conscience.

 `Truly, you did well,' said the Marquis, felicitously sensible that such vermin were not to ruffle him, `to see a thief accompanying my carriage, and not open that great mouth of yours. Bah! Put him aside, Monsieur Gabelle!'

 Monsieur Gabelle was the Postmaster, and some other taxing functionary united; he had come out with great obsequiousness to assist at this examination, and had held the examined by the drapery of his arm in an official manner.

 `Bah! Go aside!' said Monsieur Gabelle.

 `Lay hands on this stranger if he seeks to lodge in your village to-night, and be sure that his business is honest, Gabelle.'

 `Monseigneur, I am flattered to devote myself to your orders.'

 `Did he run away, fellow?--here is that Accursed?'

 The accursed was already under the carriage with some half-dozen particular friends, pointing out the chain with his blue cap. Some half-dozen other particular friends promptly hauled him out, and presented him breathless to Monsieur the Marquis.

`Did the man run away, Dolt, when we stopped for the drag?'

 `Monseigneur, he precipitated himself over the hill-side, head first, as a person plunges into the river.'

 `See to it, Gabelle. Go on!'

 The half-dozen who were peering at the chain were still among the wheels, like sheep; the wheels turned so suddenly that they were lucky to save their skins and bones; they had very little else to save, or they might not have been so fortunate.
