Grillo conduisait Fabrice à cette chapelle, il lui ouvrait le petit escalier du clocher : son devoir eût été de l’y suivre, mais, comme les soirées commençaient à être fraîches, le geôlier le laissait monter seul, l’enfermait à clef dans ce clocher qui communiquait à la terrasse, et retournait se chauffer dans sa chambre.
Grillo escorted Fabrizio to this chapel, and opened the little stair to the belfry for him: his duty would have been to accompany him; but, as the evenings were growing cold, the gaoler allowed him to go up by himself, locking him into this belfry which communicated with the terrace, and went back to keep warm in his cell.
