On the fifteenth of Fructidor, La Rochelle writes that "its public distributions, reduced to seven or eight ounces of bread, are on the point of failing entirely." For four months, at Painboeuf, the ration is but the quarter of a pound of bread.
"Why am I to be disturbed?" said Gaston, helping himself to a thick slice of one of the largest salmon that had ever ascended the Loire to be captured between Painboeuf and Saint-Nazaire. "There is a messenger from Paris. Oh! but after monseigneur has breakfasted will do; there is plenty of time." "From Paris!" cried the prince, letting his fork fall. "A messenger from Paris, do you say?
"You must confess," continued he then, aloud, and addressing the fisherman for his part of a suspicious man was imposed upon him by the object even of his mission "you must confess, my dear monsieur, that these stones travel in a very curious fashion." "How so?" said the fisherman "They come from Nantes or Painboeuf by the Loire, do they not?" "With the tide."
It appears to me that to come from Painboeuf to Pirial, and go from Pirial to Belle-Isle, is as if we went from Roche-Bernard to Nantes, and from Nantes to Pirial." "By water that would be the nearest way," replied the fisherman imperturbably. "But there is an elbow?" The fisherman shook his head. "The shortest road from one place to another is a straight line," continued D'Artagnan.
An old fisherman replied to M. Agnan, that the stones very certainly did not come from Pirial or the marshes. "Where do they come from, then?" asked the musketeer. "Monsieur, they come from Nantes and Painboeuf." "Where are they going, then?" "Monsieur, to Belle-Isle."
