"Yes, but you and your men?" "Ah, faith! In God's care; we are defending his cause, it is for him to take care of us." "Well, you see, colonel," said Cadoudal, "how easy it all is. Let us mount, colonel! Good luck, Coeur-de-Roi!" "Which of these two horses am I to take?" asked Roland. "Either; one is as good as the other; each has an excellent pair of English pistols in its holsters." "Loaded?"
You, Coeur-de-Roi, post thirty men in the courtyard; I want messengers to send in different directions. By the way, tell some one to bring the best that can be got for supper in the village." "For how many, general?" "Oh! two." "Are you going out?" "No, only to meet the man who is coming." Two or three men had already taken the horses of the messengers into the courtyard.
"Oh!" said Georges, "I do not trouble myself about that; he will be executed." One of the two men who had brought in the supper table now entered the room. "Brise-Bleu," said Cadoudal, "tell Coeur-de-Roi that I wish to speak to him." Two minutes later the Breton presented himself. "Coeur-de-Roi," said Cadoudal, "did you not tell me that the murderer Thomas Milliere was at Roche-Bernard?"
Coeur-de-Roi and his four men, covered with mud and sweat, had just arrived, but too late for the battle. Roland cast a last glance at the battlefield, sighed, and, waving a last farewell to Cadoudal, started at a gallop across the fields to await, on the road to Vannes, the wagon-load of wounded and the prisoners he was asked to deliver to General Hatry.
