"Not a battle I ever fought before, Monsieur," said Michael; "nor do I ever wish to fight another; it's horrid weary work, this of knocking men's brains out, not to talk of the chance a man runs of losing his own." "But ain't you one of the Vendeans, my gallant comrade?" asked Auguste.
She suspected Anthony of exaggerating his losses in order to draw out Dorothy and Michael and Nicholas and John, and wallow in their moral beauty. He, too, was arrogant. He was convinced that, though there might be girls like Dorothea, there were no boys like his three Sons.
'My father is my father; but Joseph is just as much my uncle as he's yours; and you have no right to sequestrate his person. 'I do no such thing, said Morris doggedly. 'He is not well, he is dangerously ill and nobody can see him. 'I'll tell you what, then, said Michael. 'I'll make a clean breast of it.

Everyone was in a hurry, for the means of transport would be much sought after among this crowd of banished people, and those who did not set about it soon ran a great risk of not being able to leave the town in the prescribed time, which would expose them to some brutal treatment from the governor's agents.
