"How many men have you?"
"Eight on leaving Montaigu; but the gars of Vieille-Vigne joined us. We must be sixteen or eighteen by this time."
"How many guns?"
"Each man has one."
"Good. Where are they stationed?"
"Along the edge of the forest."
"Bring them together."
"Yes."
"You know the crossway at the Ragots?"
