Excerpt from The Red Neighbour
The crowd of blue and brown smocks began to clatter off in their wooden shoes, and the agent vainly en deavoured to restrain them by threats of immediate ruin. But the dead man down in the river, whose body had caught a inst an angle of the river's wall, was staring u at t em with eyes wide open. They had no stomach or a fight. And seein there was no hope the agent also took to his heels an finding his horse, rode at a gallop out of the town.
The Marquis, leaving Loches and the miller on guard, departed to find the mayor of the town, and persuaded him with much difficulty to come and see for himself what they had discovered in the mill. With due solemnity that dignitary and the town-clerk came and expressed their official horror at the enormities which were being practised at the king's e ense under their vc noses, sealed u all the sacks an the door of the m' and finally t e drawbrid e. Never was such a sealing in the town of Meaux. En a long report was drawn up, a copy of which was transmitted to Monsieur de Louvois by the Marquis, and it was nightfall by the time these things were accomplished. Two of the town watch were set to guard the drawbrid e in case the oficial seals should prove insufficient, an the Marquis, well satisfied with his first discoveries, decided to continue his 'ourney the next day.
