'Why ?' I said rebelliously.

'Do you think I do not know the road?
The road we are in is the way to Auch.' 'To Auch--yes,' he answered bluntly.

'But we are not going to Auch,' 'Whither then ?' I said angrily.
'You will see presently,' he replied with an ugly smile.
'Yes, but I will know now!' I retorted, passion getting the better of me.

'I have come so far with you.

You will find it more easy to take me farther if you tell me your plans.' 'You are a fool!' he cried with a snarl.
'Not so,' I answered.
