I propose that we go the first stage without halting as far as our horses will carry us.

I think we can get to Orleans.

There we will put them up, and take rooms.
Then Margot must slip out in her own dress and buy two peasant girls' attire, and I will pick up at some dealer in old clothes a suit which will enable me to pass as a wounded soldier making his way home.

Then we will strike off from the main road and follow the lanes and get on some other road.

They will inquire all along the road and will hear of a gentleman and two youths, and will for a while have that in their minds.
