Did Monsieur leave here by rail?

That I cannot tell.

Do you mean you can't, or won't?

I know nothing, Monsieur, except that I have been paid well, and told that I may go home as soon as I like, and by what route I like, having delivered the letter to Monsieur. My young master gave me enough to return with the donkeys to Mentone all the way from Chambéry by rail if I chose; but I prefer to walk down, and keep the extra money for my _dot_. It will make me a good one.
