Already the old servants of the late Duke of Orleans, impelled by their thirst for vengeance, were saying out loud that the matter should be decided by arms, when the lady of Giac went after the _dauphin_, who from infancy had also been very much attached to her, and she, going backwards and forwards between the two princes, was so affectionate and persuasive with both that she prevailed upon them to meet again, and to sincerely wish for an understanding.

The next day but one they returned to the place of meeting, attended, each of them, by a large body of men-at-arms.

They advanced towards one another with ten men only, and dismounted.

The Duke of Burgundy went on bended knee.

The _dauphin_ took him by the hand, embraced him, and would have raised him up.
