Garnache Returns to Convent as Abbot Condemns Condillac
In Cheylas Garnache visits the Saint Francis convent seeking burial for a Condillac son killed at La Rochette. The Abbot condemns excommunicated dead, but Garnache insists twenty Franciscan brothers escort the body to Condillac, aiming to soften the ban and gain support for the procession. The scene shifts to the convent as moral and religious tensions surface. The narrative ends noting two English women compete in the Gordon Bennett trophy balloon race starting July 7 from Brussels.
