"It is quite right," observed Henry to John and David, who alone remained to listen to him, "that one of us should stay in case the telegraph comes in, and there are any orders to give. I can catch the pony, you know, and ride off to Bonchamp, and if the special train is there, I shall get upon the engine." "But it is Sam and Susan who are going." "Oh, that's only because Sam is eldest.
Arthuret, indeed, was making herself the best hostess that a lady who had served no apprenticeship could be to all alike, but Arthurine or 'Atty, as Daisy and Pansy were heard shouting to her all in white flannels, a man all but the petticoats seemed to be absorbed in a little court of the second-rate people of Bonchamp, some whom, as Mrs.
In that way, if General Bonchamp fails to arrest Salomon's march, we can fall upon him; and on the other hand, if the firing should be heard at Saumur, and Menou leads out a force to assist Salomon, we can oppose him. "General Dommaigne, your cavalry would be useless in the attack on Salomon, while it might be of great value if Menou comes out.
The movement was accelerated by an outburst of shouts from the other side of the town, where Cathelineau's force poured in, burning to avenge their former losses; and as they fell upon the enemy, Bonchamp led out the defenders of the church, by a side door, and joined in the fray. Berruyer saw that all was lost.
Detricand bowed. "But see how all is changed," continued the other. "See: by this forest of Vesins de la Rochejaquelein fell.

He held up his fingers. "One two three four five six great men gone!"
The first came and told me that on your arrival at Cathelineau's, he himself praised them all, and that Monsieur Bonchamp drilled them for an hour. Then came home two wounded lads, with a story about the great fight, in which they insisted that Leigh commanded, and that they kept the army of the Blues at bay for three hours, and killed hundreds of them.
"And these are the successors of Charette, Stoffiet, Cathelineau, Bonchamp, d'Elbee, la Rochejaquelin, and Lescure!" cried a voice. The Breton turned toward him who had just spoken. "If they get themselves killed like their predecessors," said he, "what more can you ask of them?" "Well answered," said Morgan, "so that "

"Bonchamp will give him two or three days to forget the mauling that we have given him. By that time our force will have increased, and it will be well for Westermann if he manages to carry half his force back with him." The news of the burning of la Rochejaquelein's chateau, on the following day, excited the liveliest indignation.
"That is so," Bonchamp said, "and I do not expect that we shall beat them; but we must fight, or they will march through the country, wasting and destroying as they go.
