But what do you mean to do with her ? ' cried La Chouette , ` since she must be put out of the way for two months . ' ` There is a way , ' said the Schoolmaster ; ` we are going to the Champs Elysees ; we will stop the carriage near the guard-house ; you will go and look for Bras-Rouge at his tavern . It is midnight ; you will find him there ; bring him with you ; he will take La Goualeuse to the post , and declare she is a gay girl , whom he found near his tavern . As they are condemned to three months ' imprisonment when they are caught on the Champs Elysees , and Goualeuse is still on the police lists , she will be arrested , and sent to Saint Lazare , where she will be as well guarded and concealed as in the cellar of Bras-Rouge . ' ` But , ' replied La Chouette , ` the Goualeuse will not suffer herself to be arrested ; once at the guard-house , she will tell all , she will denounce us . Supposing , even , that she is imprisoned , she will write to her protectors ; all will be discovered . '
