Chaillot

The two comrades go off, helping each other along with slow steps as long as they are on the quays.

A little quicker when they get near Chaillot, briskly enough as soon as they believe themselves to be out of sight.

Two police agents, skeptics by profession and nature, had witnessed the incidents of this adventure.

They surreptitiously followed the acolytes and went to a tavern where a company of no very edifying appearance was awaiting them.
