The soldiers of the fourth regiment of artillery were roused by the beating of the assemblée. They rushed, half-dressed, on to their parade-ground.
"Ah! monsieur, nevare! nevare it vill do. Ah! ver doll. It is like von assemblee of le Quaker." "I am determined to endure it no longer." "But what can monsieur do? How, capitaine?"
