- While waiting outside La Fauconnerie, Gerfaut checks a "very pretty Breguet watch" and decides he is both late and early.
Source text: After dismounting from his steed and tying him to the branches of an oak, thus conforming to the time-honored custom of lovers, the cavalier struck his foot upon the ground three or four times to start the circulation in his legs, and then drew from his pocket a very pretty Breguet watch. "Ten minutes past eight," said he; "I am late and yet I am early." (Project Gutenberg ebook 3985)
