So they made a bad fight of it at Saumur ?" "They had two men to one against us, besides the advantage of position, discipline and arms, and yet they marched the best part of their troops off in the night without striking a blow." "Thanks be to the Lord, we will have our King again; we will have our dear King once more, thanks be to the Almighty," said the old man, eager with joy.

"And they fled, did they, without striking a blow!" "Some of them did, father; but some fought well enough; it was desperate sharp work when poor Charles was wounded." "God bless him! God bless him! I didn't doubt it was sharp work; but even with valour, or without valour, what could sedition and perjury avail against truth and loyalty! they were two to one; they had stone walls and deep rivers to protect them; they had arms and powder, and steel cuirasses; they had disciplined troops and all the appanages of war, and yet they were scattered like chaff; driven from their high walls and deep moats, by a few half-armed peasants; and why?
why have our batons been more deadly than their swords?
because we have had truth and loyalty on our side.

Why have our stuff jackets prevailed against their steel armour; because they covered honest hearts that were fighting honestly for their King.

His Majesty shall enjoy his own again, my boy.
