At last, hearing a great clatter in the passage of their inn, I ran to the window, and, to my great satisfaction, saw them all three go out again and travel on westward. Had they gone towards London, I should have been still in a fright, lest I should meet him on the road again, and that he should know me; but he went the contrary way, and so I was eased of that disorder.
À la fin, entendant un grand piétinement sous le porche de leur hôtellerie, je courus à la fenêtre; et, à ma grande satisfaction, je les vis tous trois ressortir et prendre la route de l'ouest; s'ils se fussent dirigés vers Londres, j'aurais été encore en frayeur qu'il me rencontrât de nouveau, et qu'il me reconnût; mais il prit la direction contraire, de sorte que je fus soulagée de ce désordre.
