Abbe Pierre Froment has joined his brother in his home. He was wounded after the attack. Pierre is doing the service for Guillaume and his friends. He had contact to the socialist sects and he is touched by the idea of humanitarian communism but he dislikes the cruelty of the attack. The idea of justice is his aim, like the anarchist will do it with force and the rich with money. He finds that charity is worthless and beliefs in nothing.
