nine in the evening
Roland had not wasted his time with the captain of gendarmerie and the colonel of dragoons . They on their side did not forget that they had their own revenge to take . Roland had informed them of the subterranean passage that led from the church of Brou to the grotto of Ceyzeriat . At nine in the evening the captain and the eighteen men under his command were to go to the church , descend into the burial vault of the Dukes of Savoy , and prevent with their bayonets all communication between the subterranean passage and the quarry . Roland , at the head of twenty men , was to inclose the woods in a semicircle , drawing in upon it until the two ends should meet at the grotto of Ceyzeriat . The first movement of the party was to be made at nine o'clock , in conjunction with the captain of the gendarmerie . We have seen , from what Morgan told Amélie , the nature of the present intentions of the Companions of Jehu .
