"I am leaving Toulouse to-day," I announced.
"Whither do you go?"
"To hell, or to Beaugency - I scarce know which, nor does it matter."
He looked at me in surprise, but, being a man of breeding, asked no questions upon matters that he accounted secret.
"But the King?" he ventured presently.
"His Majesty has already dispensed me from my duties by him."
Nevertheless, I did not go that day. I maintained the intention until sunset; then, seeing that it was too late, I postponed my departure until the morrow. I can assign no reason for my dallying mood. Perhaps it sprang from the inertness that pervaded me, perhaps some mysterious hand detained me. Be that as it may, that I remained another night at the Hotel de l'Epee was one of those contingencies which, though slight and seemingly inconsequential in themselves, lead to great issues. Had I departed that day for Beaugency, it is likely that you had never heard of me -- leastways, not from my own pen - for in what so far I have told you, without that which is to follow, there is haply little that was worth the labour of setting down.
