After the battle, she had allowed Étienne to bring back Catherine muddy and half dead; and as she was undressing her, before the young man, in order to put her to bed, she thought for a moment that her daughter also had received a ball in the belly, for the chemise was marked with large patches of blood.
Apres la bataille, elle avait laissé Étienne ramener chez eux Catherine, boueuse, a demi morte; et, comme elle la déshabillait devant le jeune homme, pour la coucher, elle s'était imaginée un instant que sa fille, elle aussi, lui revenait avec une balle au ventre, car la chemise avait de larges taches de sang.
