Grégoire (hurriedly to himself)
To-morrow—not to-day! I’ll risk that much,—
Just for the way he fought that Morbec night!
(Aloud.) Stand back, Citoyen Vardes! Your time’s not yet.
[A murmur of pleasure and congratulation from the
prisoners.
Mlle. de Château-Gui
We are so pleased, Monsieur le Baron!
Grégoire
Citoyens Rochedagon and Pincornet!
