She and her husband were a brave and noble-minded couple at a time when the craven-hearted always the accomplices of tyrants were in the ascendancy everywhere. They sheltered Guadet and his companions in a cave under their garden. The fugitives had first thought of hiding in the old quarries, but they realized that they would be much safer in the cave.
