At the same moment Catinat, seeing Cavalier's gesture, drew a pistol from his belt.

As it was at full cock, it went off in his hand, a bullet piercing Guy's hat, without, however, wounding him.
At the noise of the report shouts were heard about a hundred yards away.
It was the Camisards, who had been on the point of leaving the town, but hearing the shot had turned back, believing that some of their brethren were being murdered.

On seeing them appear, Cavalier forgot Catinat, and rode straight towards them.

As soon as they caught sight of him they halted, and Ravanel advanced before them ready for every danger.
"Brethren," he cried, "the traitor has come once more to tempt us.
Begone, Judas! You have no business here." "But I have," exclaimed Cavalier.

"I have to punish a scoundrel called Ravanel, if he has courage to follow me." "Come on, then," cried Ravanel, darting down a small side-street, "and let us have done with it." The Camisards made a motion as if to follow them, but Ravanel turning towards them ordered them to remain where they were.
They obeyed, and thus Cavalier could see that, insubordinate as they had been towards him, they were ready to obey another.
Just at the moment as he turned into the narrow street where the dispute was to be settled once for all, Moses and Guy came up, and seizing the bridle of his horse stopped him, while the Camisards who were on the side of Cavalier surrounded Ravanel and forced him to return to his soldiers.
