Chapter XXV
I RESUME MY ORIGINAL PROFESSION. It was nine o’clock in the evening. I went to look after my horse, which I had left in a house by the barrier. They gave it back to me as promised, and I retook it to the stables, always using the name of M. Drouet. I took a receipt for it, and at ten o’clock I entered the Rue St. Honoré.
