The visit over, he once again passed along the Esplanade, still preceded by his two Camisards, and just as he passed the Little Convent he and those with him struck up a psalm tune, and continued singing till they reached Saint-Cesaire, where the hostages were.

These he at once sent back.
Five hundred persons from Nimes were awaiting him; refreshments were offered to him, which he accepted gratefully, thanking all those who had gathered together to meet him.

At last he went off to St.Denoise, where he was to sup and sleep; but before going to bed he offered up supplications in a loud voice for the king, for M.de Villars, for M.de Lalande, and even for M.de Baville.
The next morning, Cavalier, according to promise, sent a copy of his demands to M.de Villars, who caused it to be laid before the king, along with a full report of all that had passed at the interview at Nimes.

As soon as the young chief had sent off his missive, he rejoined his troops at Tarnac, and related all that had passed to Roland, urging him to follow his example.

That night he slept at Sauves, having passed through Durfort at the head of his men; a captain of dragoons named Montgros, with twenty-five soldiers, accompanying him everywhere, by M.de Villars' orders, and seeing that the villages through which they passed furnished him with all that was needed.
