Meanwhile, Cavalier and his men had proceeded in a northerly direction, along the right bank of the little river Droude, one of the affluents of the Gardon.
This immense volume of water was vainly seeking an outlet through the narrow defile formed by the hills and which ordinarily sufficed for the bed of the Gardon; but, finding the passage inadequate now, it dashed itself violently against the rocks and against the supports of the aqueduct which haughtily defied the furious flood; then, converted into a mass of seething foam, it returned over the same road it had just traversed until it met the new waves that were being constantly formed by the current.
A page of high birth, but well schooled in steadiness of demeanour, went at once to announce the arrival; and Gardon and his companion had not been many moments in conversation with their acquaintance among the ministers, before the grave gentleman returned, apparently from his audience and the page, coming to Eustacie, intimated that she was to follow him to Madame le Duchesse's presence.
'Our names were Marthe and Lucie la Grasse, but Agathe and Eulalie are much prettier. 'But Maitre Gardon? still asked Berenger. 'He ought to be take and burnt, said the new Eulalie; 'he brought it all on us. 'How was it? Was my wife with him Madame de Ribaumont? Speak, my child. 'That was the name, said one girl.
Provence and Languedoc were shaken to their centres. In all the region round about the Gardon at Nîmes, in Beaucaire in Arles, in Remoulins political clubs were formed. The condition of the peasantry, who had previously been condemned to a sort of slavery, suddenly changed.

After spending about a month at Nismes, Brousson was urged by his friends to quit the city. He accordingly succeeded in passing through the gates, and went to resume his former work. His first assembly was held in a commodious place on the Gardon, between Valence, Brignon, and St. Maurice, about ten miles distant from Nismes.
And you, Madame, must, I fear me, still remain his daughter-in-law in my household; or if you bore your own name and rank, this uncle and cousin of yours might learn that you were still living; and did they claim you 'Oh, Madame, rather let me be your meanest kitchen-girl! 'To be what do they call you? Esperance Gardon will be quite enough.
Roger held his first synod in Dauphiny in August, 1716, at which seven preachers and several elders or anciens assisted. In the meantime Antoine Court again set out to visit the churches which had been reconstructed along the banks of the Gardon. He had been suffering from intermittent fever, and started on his journey before he was sufficiently recovered.
'Madame, said Eustacie, gravely, 'I shall never turn any one's head. There was only one who was obliged to love me, and happily I am nor fair enough to win any one else. 'Tenez, child. Is this true simplicity? Did Gardon, truly, never tell you of poor Samuel Mace?
