Chapter XIII
STOP, KING! With Isidore riding before it, the royal conveyance flew over the road between St. Menehould and Clermont. Night was falling; the coach entered Argonne Forest crossing the highway. The Queen had noticed the absence of Charny, but she could not slacken the pace or question the postboys. She did lean out a dozen times but she discovered nothing.
