             States.  The sole fact of this unexpected recall to the same post 
             which he had been compelled to vacate in spite of himself six 
             months before, appeared inexplicable to the Chapters of the Lake 
             and of Bertrand.  It was thought that there was reason to fear 
             everything from this turbulent spirit, who was the declared enemy 
             of the Lake.  Independently of the question of changing F. Sorin, 
             everybody would have been shocked at the return [of this man].

             impossibility of removing him from N.D. du Lac, and he himself

             it his duty to telegraph to FF. Cointet and Gouesse to remain at 
             their respective posts until it had been decided that he himself 
             could quit his post, the other changes depending on this one.
