"Not wishing to exasperate you by his presence, he said to me: 'Give this to that brave soldier; it is my revenge." Dagobert looked at Mdlle. de Cardoville with surprise, as he mechanically opened the little parcel.
Captain Erhardt, on the report being made to him, repaired to head- quarters, and requested of Colonel Nugent a force of soldiers to protect the officer in the discharge of his duty.

They ridiculed and refuted the reasons he had given for returning to that fortress, after his scandalous re-encounter with the French squadron; and, in order to exasperate them to the most implacable resentment, they exaggerated the terrible consequences of losing Minorca, which must now be subdued through his treachery or want of resolution.
He saw the necessity of persevering in the attempt at conciliation which he had so reluctantly commenced. And yet, with strange infatuation, he proposed an accommodation in a manner which was deemed insulting, and which tended only to exasperate.
