"I have heard," said Latour, unlocking his door and entering the room with his visitor, "I have heard the whole story. The fools have been outwitted. I have just left this man Barrington." "Citizen, I do not think you have heard the whole story." Latour turned quickly. Something in the man's tone startled him. "Mademoiselle was taken to the Abbaye prison this afternoon," said Sabatier.
And he drew away from Napolitas, of whom he had been very suspicious from the first. Then he said to his pals in an undertone: "He is on the bottom step of the Abbaye de Monte-a-Regret, but I am the Prior! I will show you how well I know how to come round the beaks. I mean to snatch this boy's nut from their jaws." "For the sake of his breeches!" said Fil-de-Soie with a smile.
"He was justified perhaps in not trusting me on so slight an acquaintance. I do not blame him. Still, I am much puzzled by his subsequent actions, and the fact remains that while Lucien Bruslart has done little for you, or so at least it appears, this man Latour most certainly risked his life to get you out of the Abbaye prison."
The road is shaded by tall trees when it begins to descend into the steep rocky gorge of the Cance with its tumbling waterfalls that are a charming feature of this approach to Mortain. High upon the rocks on the left appears an enormous gilded statue of the Virgin, in the grounds of the Abbaye Blanche.

M. Forain expressed the desire to visit the chief French hospital of the Scottish women at the Abbaye de Royaumont.
Strangely enough, as soon as my eyes and ears were shut off from the sounds and sights immediately round me, I once more became conscious of the horrible and awful din which was going on, not only on the other side of our prison walls, but inside the whole of the Abbaye building and in the street beyond.
"Do what he bids you!" said Fil-de Soie. "You don't say so?" retorted la Pouraille, looking at his pal. "What a flat you are! You will be booked for the Abbaye!" said le Biffon. "You have no other door to budge, if you want to keep on your pins, to yam, wet your whistle, and fake to the end; you must take his orders." "That's all right," said la Pouraille.
"Twill be well to know the fellow's character, for there may be the occasion to commend him to the gentlemen of the abbaye, when all is over.
By and by howls and shouts were heard, and the tocsin was heard, ringing, alarm guns firing, and reports came in to the prisoners of the Abbaye that the populace were breaking into the prisons. The clergy were all penned up together in the cloisters of the Abbaye, whither they had been brought in carriages that morning.
