In Paris, Yorick meets a barber and has a new wig fitted. Once there, Yorick spies the woman again and eventually writes her a letter and, in turn, agrees to deliver a letter from the woman to her friend in Paris, Madame de R. Later, they arrive in Nampont and hear the story of the dead donkey that spooked La Fleur’s horse. They set off and Yorick is soon joined in his carriage by La Fleur, whose horse is spooked and runs away. La Fleur is a pleasant-if not particularly talented-young man who will accompany Yorick throughout his journey. Yorick travels to Montriul and, once there, hires a boy named La Fleur as his servant. Yorick closes the deal for the carriage quickly, remembering a rival travel writer called Smelfungus, whom Yorick dislikes. They share a conversation before the hotel owner returns and informs the woman that her brother has arrived, causing her to depart. Yorick and the woman get inside a small carriage and then find themselves locked inside. After a series of failures, the hotel owner returns with the store key and shows off his wares. While waiting to enter the carriage store, Yorick tries to start a conversation with the woman.
The monk is nearby and he and Yorick exchange snuffboxes Yorick is desperate to make amends for the non-existent insult. He accidently insults her, eventually deciding that the monk told her a bad story about him. While walking to the carriage store, Yorick finds himself caught alone with a young woman. Eventually, he is interrupted and returns to the hotel, where he finds the owner and discusses the purchase of a carriage. He describes the various types of travelers, breaking them down into categories. Yorick sits it the carriage and begins to write his travelogue.
