On the road from Grandchamp to Plescop, a line of wagons were now visible, the tail of which was still hidden in the woods. This line was motionless; evidently some unforeseen obstacle had stopped it. In fact, about a quarter of a mile before the leading wagon they perceived the two hundred Chouans, under Monte-a-l'assaut, Chante-en-hiver, Fend-l'air, and Giberne, barring the way.
"So that, if I deploy from Meucon to Plescop " "You'll bar the way." "That's all." Cadoudal called his four lieutenants, Chante-en-hiver, Monte-a-l'assaut, Fend-l'air, and La Giberne, to him, gave each of them fifty men, and each with his men disappeared like shadows in the heavy mist, giving the well-known hoot, as they vanished.
The general stooped, and Monte-a-l'assaut said a few words in his ear. "Benedicite has already warned me," said Georges. Then turning to Roland, he said, "Something of importance is to happen in the village of the Trinite in a quarter of an hour, which you ought to see. Come, hurry up." And, setting the example, he put his horse to a gallop. Roland did the same.
He was soon to know, for they had ridden five hours and a half and the day was breaking. Beyond the village of Tridon they turned across country; leaving Vannes to the left, they reached Trefleon. At Trefleon, Cadoudal, still followed by his major-general, Branche-d'Or, had found Monte-a-l'assaut and Chante-en-hiver.
"Didn't Benedicite and Monte-a-l'assaut notify you?" he inquired. "Yes. Is that the diligence from Ploermel to Vannes that you are bringing back?" "Yes, general. It was stopped between Trefleon and Saint-Nolf." "Is he in it?" "We think so." "Act according to your consciences; if it is a crime toward God, take it on yourselves; I take only the responsibility toward men.
Cadoudal gave the call of the cuckoo with such perfection that Roland looked about him for the bird. "It was I," said Cadoudal, "you need not look for it." "Is the messenger going to come?" "Not-going to, he is coming." The messenger had already started, and was rapidly approaching; in a few seconds he was beside his general. "Ah!" said the latter, "is that you, Monte-a-l'assaut?"
