He took his army to the priest’s, where they devoured as much provision as would have lasted him for two months, and to the cornet’s, who performed wonders; but as Planchet said, "People do not eat at once for all time, even when they eat a good deal."
Il mena son armée chez le prêtre, auquel on dévora sa provision de deux mois, et chez le cornette, qui fit des merveilles; mais, comme le disait Planchet, on ne mange toujours qu'une fois, même quand on mange beaucoup.
