Sons of the Soil

CHAPTER VIII
29/43

The men to whom the Emperor gave titles make common cause with the old nobility.

They all want to crush the people, re-establish their former rights and take our property from us.

But we are Burgundians; we must resist, and drive those Arminacs back to Paris.

Return to Blangy; you shall be agent for Monsieur Polissard, the wood-merchant, who is contractor for the forest of Ronquerolles.

Don't be uneasy, my lad; I'll find you enough to do for the whole of the coming year.
