At first the hairdresser declined to enter into the matter, pretending that they must apply to his brother at the Champ Commun; but at last he consented to take the order.

A pair-horse landau for Gavarnie was priced at fifty francs.

However, he was so pleased at having talked so much, and so flattered at hearing himself called an honest man, that he eventually agreed to charge only forty francs.

There were four persons in the party, so this would make ten francs apiece.

And it was agreed that they should start off at about two in the morning, so that they might get back to Lourdes at a tolerably early hour on the Monday evening.
"The landau will be outside the Hotel of the Apparitions at the appointed time," repeated Cazaban in his emphatic way.
