Arriving in good time at the little station at Verrières, where he was about to take a train to Paris to keep his appointment at the Law Courts, the old steward Dollon gave his parting instructions to his two children, who had come to see him off.
"I must, of course, call upon Mme. de Vibray," he said, "and I don't yet know what time M. Fuselier wants to see me at his office. Anyhow, if I don't come back tomorrow, I will the next day, without fail. Well, little ones, I'm just off now, so say goodbye and get home as fast as you can. It looks to me as if there was going to be a storm, and I should like to know that you were safe at home."
