Cholet--the men of Cholet will surely second us--they are as fond of
their sons and their brethren as we are. Cholet will join us, and
Beaupreau, and Coron, and Torfou. We will go and ask them whether they
prefer the Republic to their homes--whether the leaders of the

CHAPTER III
DURBELLIERE.
The chateau of Durbelliere, the family seat of the Larochejacquelins,
was situated in the very centre of the Bocage, between the small towns
of Chatillon and Vihiers--in the province of Poitou, and about twelve
leagues from St. Florent.
It was a large mansion, surrounded by extensive gardens, and a
considerable domain.
