“But what diligence?”
“The one which your mother was in.”
“The diligence my mother was in?”

“The diligence my mother was in was attacked?”
“You have seen Madame de Montrevel, and she didn’t tell you?”
“Not a word about that, anyway.”
“Well, my dear Edouard proved a hero; as no one else defended the coach, he did. He took the conductor’s pistols and fired.”
“Brave boy!” exclaimed Roland.
