I had selected this because it was near the hiding-places and also because a secret instinct had taught me that the brothers did not care to be too near to each other. None the less, it was convenient to have Benoit not too far away,as he supplied us with fresh milk. Besides, Mad- dalena rode up on her mule with provisions several days a week, bringing with her my mail.
