I assured him many carriages would be there , near the entrance , which was called , I believed , the pavilion of Flora ; and by showing boldness we might start from that spot as well as from any other . He abetted the reckless devil in me , and the outcome was that I crossed the Seine bridge by myself about ten o'clock ; remembering my escape from Ste. Pélagie ; remembering I should never see the gargoyles on Notre Dame any more , or the golden dome of the Invalides , or hear the night hum of Paris , whether I succeeded or not . For if I succeeded I should be away toward the coast by morning ; and if I did not succeed , I should be somewhere under arrest . I can see the boy in white court dress , with no hint of the traveler about him , who stepped jauntily out of a carriage and added himself to groups entering the Tuileries . The white court dress was armor which he put on to serve him in the dangerous attempt to look once more on a woman 's face .
