When they reached the house where Pillerault , the Ragons , the Abbe Loraux , and Popinot the judge were waiting for them , these five choice people assumed an air and manner and speech which put Cesar at his ease ; for all were deeply moved to see him still on the morrow of his great disaster . `` Go and take a walk in the Aulnay woods , '' said Pillerault , putting Cesar 's hand into that of Constance ; `` go with Anselme and Cesarine ! but come back by four o'clock . '' `` Poor souls , we should be a restraint upon them , '' said Madame Ragon , touched by the deep grief of her debtor . `` He will be very happy presently . '' `` It is repentance without sin , '' said the Abbe Loraux .
