And though he was sometimes capricious and exacting towards his friends, yet a truly great friend he was: witness the many who never forsook him, or whom he, after a temporary estrangement, always won back More, Peter Gilles, Fisher, Ammonius, Budaeus, and others too numerous to mention.
I pray God to give you good patience and I hope in Him that we may meet again in great joy in Paradise. Pray God for me and I shall pray for you." And Gilles was left alone to meditate on his crimes which he was to confess publicly at the hearing next day. That day was the impressive day of the trial.
Gilles, an illustrious doctor, who, preaching one day to the clergy, with great energy, on voluntary poverty, in the convent of the Friars Preachers, descended from the pulpit in the middle of his sermon, and in order to give force to his words by his example, he took the habit of St. Dominic, and returned to the pulpit to finish his discourse.
"Let's see," he said to himself, rolling a cigarette, "we had come to the time when that excellent Gilles de Rais begins the quest of the 'great work. It is easy to figure what knowledge he possessed about the method of transmuting metals into gold. "Alchemy was already highly developed a century before he was born.
'I could do nothing, Jehane, Gilles whimpered; 'I went to kill him. 'You fool, I know it. I saw you go. I could have stayed you as I do now. But I would not. 'Why not, Jehane? She spurned him with a look. 'Because I love King Richard, and know you, Gilles, what you can do and what not. Pshutt! You are a rat. 'Rat, says Gilles, 'I may be, but a rat may be offended.

The chronicles say that he was 'a good and hardy captain, but his 'goodness' and 'hardiness' did not prevent him from being borne back by force of numbers.
"The horse of M. Gilles Godin, the notary at the Chatelet, took fright at the Flemings and their procession, and overturned Master Philippe Avrillot, lay monk of the Celestins." "Really?" "Actually." "A bourgeois horse! 'tis rather too much! If it had been a cavalry horse, well and good!" And the windows were closed. But Gringoire had lost the thread of his ideas, nevertheless.

Gilberte remembered M. de Tregars' letter, which she had in her pocket. Taking it out, and handing it to him, "Here," she said, "is the package you deposited with me."
But the heart of Francois was pure magnanimity, the heels of Francois were mercury, as he tripped past the church of Saint Benoit-le-Betourne, stark snow and ink in the moonlight. Then with a jerk Francois paused. On a stone bench before the church sat Ysabeau de Montigny and Gilles Raguyer. The priest was fuddled, hiccuping in his amorous dithyrambics as he paddled with the girl's hand.
