There left Paris some weeks ago--many weeks now--two gangs of--of emigrant convicts for--for the New World. One cordon was of men, the other of--of women. Have they, are--are they there in that great pest house?
gpt
The men are there.
human
My God!
gpt
They arrived yesterday.
human
Have they sailed--put to sea? For New France?
gpt
I know not. There are, I tell monsieur, no ships. Those which were to transport those gallows' birds would not perhaps come in. They may have gone elsewhere.
human
And the women?
gpt
I know not. If they are there, they will work in the streets--the men at burning and burying. The women at nursing.
human
Have many persons there succumbed?
gpt
Many! Of those in the town almost half; at least a half.
