CHAPTER II
22/23

St.Florent cannot fight single-handed against the Republic.

There are others in Anjou, and Poitou also, besides ourselves, who do not wish to leave their homes and their fields.

There are noblemen and gentlemen, our friends and masters, who will lead you better than I can." "No, no, Cathelineau is our general; we will follow no one but Cathelineau." "You will, my friends, you will; but we need not quarrel about that.
Forte and I, with Peter Berrier, will visit those who we think will join us; but you must at once prepare yourselves.

You must arm yourselves.
We will distribute the muskets of the soldiers as far as they will go.
You must prepare yourselves.
