Quand ils eurent transporté le général jusqu’à son lit, on les conduisit à l’office, où les domestiques les traitèrent fort bien ; mais après ce repas, qui ne finit que fort près du matin, on leur expliqua que l’usage de la prison exigeait que, pour le reste de la nuit, ils fussent enfermés à clef dans les salles basses du palais ; le lendemain au jour ils seraient mis en liberté par le lieutenant du gouverneur.
When they had carried the General to his bedroom, they were taken to the kitchens, where the servants entertained them royally; but after this meal, which did not end until it was very nearly morning, it was explained to them that the rule of the prison required that, for the rest of the night, they should be locked up in the lower rooms of the palazzo; in the morning at daybreak they would be released by the governor's deputy.
