Description
« My Lord, said the Abbé de Grancour, it is all useless, and we shall have the sorrow of seeing that unfortunate Tascheron die an impious man, ... he will spit on the crucifix, he will renounce everything, even hell...
— When is Tascheron to be executed? asked the Bishop.
— Tomorrow, market day, replied Monsieur de Grancour.
— Gentlemen, religion cannot be defeated, cried the Bishop. The Church finds itself in difficult circumstances. We are compelled to work miracles in an industrial town where the spirit of sedition against religious and monarchical doctrines has taken deep root... I will go and see this unhappy man. »
