As I did not call upon you, you will easily conclude that I did not call upon anybody.

I was in search of one man only, whom his dastardly instinct kept concealed from me, as if he guessed that I was on his track.

At last the fear of being discovered made me depart more precipitately than I had come.

That is the fact, my dear Theriot.

There is every appearance of my never seeing you again.
