`` Here I am , like the hand of the clock . '' `` Come , '' replied Thomas Seyton . And , preceding her , he crossed some open fields ; and turning down a deserted alley near the Rue Cassini , he stopped half way down the lane , which was barred by a turnstile , opened a small door , motioned to the Chouette to follow him ; and , after having advanced with her a few steps down a path overgrown by thick trees , he said , `` Wait here , '' and disappeared . `` That is , if you do n't keep me on the ` waiting lay ' too long , '' responded the Chouette ; `` for I must be at Bras Rouge 's at five o'clock to meet the Martials , and help silence the diamond-matcher . It 's very well I have my ` gulley ' -LRB- poniard -RRB- . Oh , the vagabond , he has got his nose out of window ! '' added the hag , as she saw the point of the stiletto coming through the seam in the basket .
