Sir Isaac was among them. "Are ye there, traitor?" he cried. "Where is my daughter?" Sir Guy was about to reply when Phoebe put her hand on his arm. "Hush!" she whispered. "Hearken!"
Three thousand provincials were detached on this expedition, and in two days the fortress had surrendered, and 9 armed vessels, 60 cannon, and sixteen mortars, and a vast quantity of ammunition were taken possession of.

Occupying Verona in the first days of June, he immediately afterwards detached to the southward a corps under Augereau to enter the Papal States; and at the same time another small division, commanded by General Vaubois, started from the upper valley of the Po, ostensibly destined to proceed against Rome by passing through Tuscany.
