Laud, Foret and Cathelineau joined M. de Lescure at Clisson, and on the day afterwards, the soldiers of the Republic, when attempting to collect the conscripts at a small town near Clisson, were resisted and treated as they had been at St. Florent.
After having again consulted for some time, Bonchamps said to Cathelineau: "I do not think you can do better than name Adolphe Denot." This was said in a low voice, but Adolphe's ears were not slow to catch his own name, and he was once more happy. Though he was named last, he would be equal with the others.
It will be nearly sunset before Salomon can arrive at that town and, if we engage him at dusk, he will lose half the benefit of the discipline of the regiment of gendarmes who will, no doubt, accompany him." "I quite approve of that plan, monsieur," Cathelineau said. "Are you all of the same opinion, gentlemen?" There was a general expression of assent.
"I never knew what a woman was till now," said he; "and how much better is it that I should die this moment, with your image before me, than return to a world, such as mine has been, where all henceforward would be distasteful to me." "Should you live, Cathelineau, you would live to be honoured and valued.
"Indeed, and indeed you will not stir," said Henri, who stood behind his chair, and placed his hands heavily on the postillion's shoulders. "It was you that brought us here," said de Lescure, "and you must not now avoid the responsibility." "Ah! M. de Lescure," said he, "there are so many more fitting than me." "Not one in all La Vendee," said M. Bonchamps: "sit where you are, Cathelineau."
Cathelineau! were he ten times lower than a postillion by birth, he would still be twenty times made noble by achievements and by character, and yet I would not wish but nonsense! he thinks no more of wedding Agatha than I of Diana."
In the meantime, the Generals tried to reassure the men. Cathelineau explained to them that they had brought on themselves the evils which they now suffered by their absurd attempt to act without orders; and de Lescure and Larochejaquelin endeavoured to rouse their energies by pointing out to them the necessity of recovering their favourite cannon. "Ah!
"Not a foot," said Peter; "that is just why they sent me, instead of any common messenger; that I might explain it all to you properly. You are not to stir a foot after them; but are to remain here, just where you are, till they return." "That is impossible," said d'Elbee. "What good on earth can I do, remaining here?" "Why, Cathelineau will know where to find you, when he wants you."
"I know, Mademoiselle, that I am dying, and, believe me, I do not fear to die. Your kind care can make my last few hours tranquil and easy, but it cannot much prolong them. Let me have the pleasure of telling you that I appreciate your kindness, and that I give you in return all that a dying man can give my prayers." "And I will pray for you, Cathelineau," said Agatha.
De Lescure and four others, voted for attacking Nantes. Bonchamps, and five others, declared for proceeding at once to Paris, with the view of arresting the present leaders of the Convention. Cathelineau was then called on to express his opinion, which would of course be decisive. "I think M. de Lescure is right," said he, "I think we are not in a position to advance to Paris.
