down from your horse, and let me take it. I will stable it at the

"Oh, but that is impossible."
"Impossible? Why?"
"For several reasons. One of them is that you haven't considered
what will happen to you if you do such a thing."
"To me? Do you suppose I am afraid of that pack of oafs sent by M.
Lesdiguieres? I have committed no sedition."
"But it is almost as bad to give aid to one who is wanted for the
crime. That is the law."
"What do I care for the law? Do you imagine that the law will
presume to touch me?"
"Of course there is that. You are sheltered by one of the abuses I
complained of at Rennes. I was forgetting."
"Complain of it as much as you please, but meanwhile profit by it.
Come, Andre, do as I tell you. Get down from your horse." And then,
as he still hesitated, she stretched out and caught him by the arm.
