"And if you meddle again with what does not concern you, La Goualeuse, we will serve you the same."
"Yes, that we will."
"But that is not all!" said La Louve. "La Goualeuse must ask our pardon for having called us cowards. She must and she shall! If we don't put a stop to her goings on, she will soon leave us without the power of saying our soul is our own, and we are great fools not to have seen this sooner."
"Make her ask our pardon."
"On her knee."
"On both knees."
"Or we will serve her precisely the same as we did her protégée, Mont Saint-Jean!"
"Down on her knees! Down with her!"
"Lo! we are cowards, are we?"
"Dare to say it again!"
