On the fourth day the auditing of the marshal's accounts took place at the high table of the marshal of the province.

And then there occurred the first skirmish between the new party and the old.

The committee who had been deputed to verify the accounts reported to the meeting that all was in order.

The marshal of the province got up, thanked the nobility for their confidence, and shed tears.

The nobles gave him a loud welcome, and shook hands with him.
