Chapter V
“Oh! oh!” said the priest, as if he had some means of judging, “it is a serious engagement; there are many men.” “The trouble for us, Monsieur Gudin,” cried Coupiau, “is to know which side will win.” The faces of all became unanimously anxious. “Let us put up the coach at that inn which I see over there,” said the patriot; “we can hide it till we know the result of the fight.” The advice seemed so good that Coupiau followed it.
