The Cornet of Horse

CHAPTER 19: The Evasion
10/27

The messenger who brought the letter has started again, and has taken with him a led horse of mine.

He will be at the hostelry of Henri the 4th, at the place where you will stop tonight.

He will not know who you are, I have told him that a friend of mine will call for the horse, which I had promised to send him.
"When you halt for the night, the doctor will order you to be carried into his own room.

You will find two or three suits of clothes in the litter, a lackey's suit of our livery which may be useful, a country gentleman's, and one of mine.

When you are alone with the doctor and all is safe, get up, put on the country gentleman's suit, say goodbye to him and go straight to the stables at the Henri the 4th.
