ten o'clock
Itchoua , however , is not with them . At the last moment , a fear has come to Ramuntcho of this accomplice , whom he felt to be capable of everything , even of murder ; in a sudden terror , he has refused the aid of that man , who clutched the bridle of the horse to prevent it from starting ; and feverishly , Ramuntcho has thrown gold into his hands , to pay for his advice , to buy the liberty to act alone , the assurance , at least , of not committing a crime : piece by piece , to break his engagement , he has given to Itchoua a half of the agreed price . Then , when the horse is driven at a gallop , when the implacable figure has vanished behind a group of trees , Ramuntcho has felt his conscience lighter -- `` You will leave my carriage at Aranotz , at Burugoity , the inn-keeper 's , who understands , '' said Arrochkoa , `` for , you understand , as soon as you have accomplished your end I will leave you . -- We have business with the people of Buruzabal , horses to lead into Spain to-night , not far from Amezqueta , and I promised to be there before ten o'clock -- '' What will they do ? They do not know , the two allied friends ; this will depend on the turn that things take ; they have different projects , all bold and skilful , according to the cases which might present themselves . Two places have been reserved , one for Ramuntcho and the other for her , on board a big emigrant vessel on which the baggage is embarked and which will start tomorrow night from Bordeaux carrying hundreds of Basques to America . At this small station of Aranotz , where the carriage will leave both of them , Ramuntcho and Gracieuse , they will take the train for Bayonne , at three o'clock in the morning , and , at Bayonne afterward , the Irun express to Bordeaux .
