o’clock
Then he remembered the little wood , and doubted not that they had been resting there when he passed . He installed himself at a little inn , which had the advantage of being opposite the principal hotel , where he doubted not that Monsoreau would stop ; and he remained at the window watching . About four o'clock he saw a courier arrive , and half an hour afterwards the whole party . He waited till nine o'clock , and then he saw the courier set out again , and after him the litter , then Diana , Rémy , and Gertrude on horseback . He mounted his horse and followed them , keeping them in sight . Monsoreau scarcely allowed Diana to move from his side , but kept calling her every instant . After a little while , Bussy gave a long , shrill whistle , with which he had been in the habit of calling his servants at his hotel .
