Saturday at six in the evening
I will myself take the coach , as postilion , from Mâcon to Belleville . I will undertake to settle the colonel , and one of you must be responsible for Fouché 's agent . As for M. Roland de Montrevel , no harm will befall him , for I have a means , known to me alone and by me invented , by which he can be prevented from leaving the coach . The precise day and hour at which the mail to Chambéry will pass the Maison-Blanche is Saturday at six in the evening . Answer in these words , `` Saturday , six of the evening , '' and all will go on rollers . MONTBAR . At midnight Montbar , who had complained of the noise his neighbor made , and had removed to a room at the opposite end of the inn , was awakened by a courier , who was none other than the groom who had brought him his horse ready bridled and saddled in the morning .
