It is, said Gauthier;

What former conduct? Did those hands ever receive gold from the coffers of an enemy? Speak freely. You shall not suffer from anything you may say here.

You have been the means by which posts have been delivered to an enemy. We remember hearing of the surrender of Marmalade, Gros Morne, and some others.
gpt
I was the means, as you say; but it was done by a wiser will and a stronger hand than mine. In that transaction my heart was pure. My design was to lose rank, and to return to poverty by the step I took. You ought to have inquired into facts, clearly understood by all who know me, before you proceeded to insult me. Have you more to say?
human
It was natural that we should believe that he through whom posts had been delivered would deliver posts again; and this was confirmed by rumours, and I believe, even by letters which seemed to come from yourself, in relation to the posts now in question.

gpt
To our being mulattoes we owe our disgrace.

I have beloved friends of your colour, said Toussaint.
gpt
Believe me, however, the complexion of your souls is so disgusting that I have no attention to spare for your faces. You must now depart.
human
Change our punishment! said Gauthier.
gpt
Consider that I am an emigrant officer. Some other punishment!
human
No other, said Toussaint.
gpt
This is the fit punishment--mean as your design--ridiculous as your attempt. Are the French Commissaries in waiting, Laroche? Let them be announced.
