The farmers gave her a bed . Gasselin then went to the place where the carriage was awaiting them , and , taking one of the horses , rode to Croisic to obtain a doctor , telling the boatman to row to the landing-place that was nearest to the farmhouse . Calyste , sitting on a stool , answered only by motions of the head , and rare monosyllables when spoken to ; Camille 's uneasiness , roused for Beatrix , was still further excited by Calyste 's unnatural condition . When the physician arrived , and Beatrix was bled , she felt better , began to talk , and consented to embark ; so that by five o'clock they reached the jetty at Guerande , whence she was carried to Les Touches . The news of the accident had already spread through that lonely and almost uninhabited region with incredible rapidity . Calyste passed the night at Les Touches , sitting at the foot of Beatrix 's bed , in company with Camille . The doctor from Guerande had assured them that on the following day a little stiffness would be all that remained of the accident .
