"Maurin was treading warily. He nearly slipped at one point, and was just in time to save himself from falling. He called out a quick “Take care!” to his companion. But the warning came, apparently, just a few seconds two late for in answer to his call there came a sudden cry accompanied by a few vigorous swear words, quite unlike the usual pedantic speech of Monsieur le Professeur. The lawyer turned round at once and saw that learned gentleman sprawling on the ground.”
