"'Find me a sure man to negotiate with Moreau; for the Army of the Rhine will be our sole resource, cried Carnot, who had been plunged in meditation. "Ah!" said de Marsay, pausing, "those men were right. They were grand in this crisis. I should have done as they did"; then he resumed his narrative.
