In Chapter 2, M. Madeleine arranges a demanding journey by horse and tilbury, avoids explaining his destination, and pays a large guarantee. Master Scaufflaer uses forgotten calculations to identify Arras as the destination, while the mayor’s unusual movements and light disturb the cashier sleeping below his room.
