"Are they still living?" "My father died June 15th, 1530; my mother survived him three years and twelve days." "Have you any brothers and sisters?" "I had one brother, who only lived three months.

Guerre's eldest sister was first summoned, and she, after a momentary glance, ran to the new comer and embraced him, crying, as the report goes, "Oh, my brother Martin Guerre, I acknowledge the error into which this abominable traitor drew me, and also all the inhabitants of Artigues." The rest also identified him; and his wife, who was the last of all, was as demonstrative as the others.
