"Good heavens, yes! they are leaving the main road." She gave a cry, clasped her hands, and ran straight across the flower beds to her bedroom, where her husband was still sleeping soundly. "Get up! get up! get up at once," she cried, pulling him by the arm. GOOD HEAVENS YES THEY ARE LEAVING THE MAIN ROAD SHE GAVE A CRY CLASPED HER HANDS AND RAN STRAIGHT ACROSS THE FLOWERBEDS TO HER BEDROOM WHERE HUSBAND WAS STILL SLEEPING SOUNDLY GET UP GET UP GET UP AT ONCE SHE CRIED PULLING HIM BY THE ARM
 that her husband was still asleep. Already she heard the snores of two coachmen and a groom, who were taking their siesta in the stable, after having dined copiously. But she was still sitting in a bower from which the deserted high road could be seen, when all at once her attention was caught by a light cloud of dust rising in the distance. After looking at it for some moments, she ended by making out several vehicles, closely following one another. First came a light calash, with two places, in which was the general, wearing his large and glittering epaulettes, with the colonel. This was followed by another with four places, containing the captain, the aide-de-camp and two lieutenants. Further on, came the celebrated regimental vehicle, the present owner of which was the major, and behind that another in which were packed five officers, one on his comrade’s knees, the procession being closed by three more on three fine bays. “Are they coming here?” thought the mistress of the house.
