Between the outlaw and the apostle union was natural.

Du Serre found in Cavalier a young man of robust nature, active imagination, and irreproachable courage; he confided to him his hopes of converting all Languedoc and Vivarais.

Cavalier felt himself drawn back there by many ties, especially by patriotism and love.

He crossed the frontier once more, disguised as a servant, in the suite of a Protestant gentleman; he arrived one night at Anduze, and immediately directed his steps to the house of Isabeau.
He was just about to knock, although it was one o'clock in the morning, when the door was opened from within, and a handsome young man came out, who took tender leave of a woman on the threshold.

The handsome young man was the Marquis de Florac; the woman was Isabeau.
