Pol, Amiens, and Corbie, and finally towards evening reached Ribemont, where we found our billeting party waiting for us.

It was all very unpleasant, and we spent a cold and cheerless night.
And so long as there is no resistance, they valiantly hold the country, they slay our peasants and burn our villages; but, at the first rumor that reaches them to the effect that Monsieur is advancing with an army, and that the king is following close behind him, they intrench themselves behind Corbie; and, when they learn that there is no halting, and that the march against them is going on merrily, our conquerors abandon their intrenchments.
