By means of the provinces which he successively won, wholly or partly, Burgundy, Franche-Comte, Artois, Provence, Anjou, Roussillon, and Barrois, he caused France to make a great stride towards territorial unity within her natural boundaries.
"Yes, Montaigne translated that or something in his book," she commented with prompt erudition. "I understand it." Beverley looked amazed. "What do you know about Montaigne?" he demanded with a blunt brevity amounting to something like gruffness. "Sh', Monsieur, not too loud," she softly protested, looking around to see that neither Madame Roussillon nor Jean had followed them into the main room.
"That's sensible talk, sir," assented Barlow. "Bah!" exclaimed Hamilton. "You might as well talk of keeping on the good side of the American traitors a bloody murrain seize the whole race!" "That's what I say," chimed in the Lieutenant, with a sly look at Helm. "They have been telling me a cock-and-bull story concerning the affair at the Roussillon cabin," Hamilton said, changing his manner.
Xavier, when Father Gibault called the people together, and at the fort, when the British flag was hauled down and la banniere d'Alice Roussillon run up in its place.

Indians presently brought word that ten thousand English were coming to attack Ticonderoga. A reinforcement of colony regulars was at once despatched to join the two battalions already there; a third battalion, Royal Roussillon, was sent after them. The militia were called out and ordered to follow with all speed, while both Montcalm and Lévis hastened to the supposed scene of danger.
Marechal de Villeroy took Huy in three days, losing only a sub-engineer and some soldiers. On the 29th of July we attacked at dawn the Prince of Orange at Neerwinden, and after twelve hours of hard fighting, under a blazing sun, entirely routed him. I was of the third squadron of the Royal Roussillon, and made five charges.
