Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Eugène Sue, Vol. 13 of 20
I know not why, but for some reason this information, vague as it was, excited my curiosity; I decided to set forth immediately, and consequently ordered horses to be put to the carriage.
Oh, said the notary, I advise you not to think of venturing to travel in a carriage over those dreadful roads. 'tis a post-road, to be sure, but the nearest relay to is still five leagues off, and to get there they say one has to go through regular sand-pits, where one sinks so deep that 'tis a thousand chances to one if you ever get out again. If you take my advice you will go on horseback.
I took his word for it, and had a portemanteau fast ened behind my saddle, and thus, preceded by a postil ion, I started for the village of which was eight leagues from the city where I was staying.
