"Art thou come to deliver up the Castle to its rightful lord?" "No, Messire Oliver," replied Gaston. "I come to bring the reply of the Castellane, Sir Eustace Lynwood, that he will hold out the Castle to the last extremity against all and each of your attacks." "Sir Eustace Lynwood? What means this, Master Squire? Yonder knave declared he was dead!" "Hear me, Sir Oliver de Clisson," said Gaston.
His most important pictures are: "The Torrent," 4 1/2 x 6 feet, owned by the Toledo Art Gallery; "The Abandoned Mill," 4 1/2 x 6 feet; "The End of the Island," 6 x 8 feet; "Clisson Castle," 3 x 4 1/2 feet, a water-color; "After the Storm," 3 x 5 feet; and "Winter in Holland," 3x4 feet.
Christopher stared out of the window for so long that the head clerk thought he had forgotten the matter and was disagreeably surprised when he spoke again. "I shall be at Stormly this week and will see if Timmins wishes to retire or not. You have no fault to find with him as a gardener, I suppose?" Mr. Clisson smiled. "A man who has served for twenty years will not be an indifferent workman sir.
And here this youth of mine, not yet with his spurs, though I dare say full five years older than you, must needs look sour upon it, because he has to sleep on a settle for one night and that, too, when he has let Oliver de Clisson slip through his fingers, without so much as a scratch taken or given on either side!

Their bad influences, however, still surrounded him; an attempt to assassinate Olivier de Clisson, the Constable, was connected with their intrigues and those of the Duke of Brittany; and in setting forth to punish the attempt on his favourite the Constable, the unlucky young King, who had sapped his health by debauchery, suddenly became mad.
"When all is still, I will go round and waken our comrades, while you creep forth by the hole beneath the bartizan, and warn Clisson that the secret passage is nought, but that when he sees a light in old Montfort's turret " Tristan suddenly trod on his foot, as a sign of silence, as a step descended the stairs, and Sir Eustace stood before them.
She was presented to him, and bent the knee before him. He considered her charming. Seeing with what pleasure he looked upon her, the constable, Oliver de Clisson, said to Sire De Coney, "By my faith, she will bide with us." The same evening, the young king said to his councillor, Bureau de la Riviere, "She pleases me: go and tell my uncle, the Duke of Burgundy, to conclude at once."
Moreover, it is only accidentally that he mentions the circumstance to his landlord; "he came to see him for another purpose." Cf. "The Revolution," vol. Wallon, "Histoire du Tribunal revolutionnaire de Paris," V., 368. "After the rout at Clisson, says the woman Laillet, he appeared in the popular club with a brigand's ear attached to his hat by way of cockade.
