The newspaper published throughout the Department the names of the jurors, and Madame de Renal, to the inexpressible terror of her husband, decided to come to Besancon.

Le journal répandit dans le département les noms des jurés et Mme de Rênal, à l’inexprimable terreur de son mari, voulut venir à Besançon.
