DrabbleWriMo 22: Umbrella

Dull and informative.
'Precision' can be Hyde de Neuville's escape plan; 'Gossip', Josephine Bonaparte (not yet the Empress Josephine!)

The Duc de Trélan had arrived in Vannes the day before; the whole town, as they drove in, was ringing with the news. But it had not been under safe-conduct, but under arrest, and he had not come to face a formal surrender, but a summary tribunal that duly passed a death sentence.

They had used the umbrella charge that the Duc was a rebel taken in arms — an émigré making war upon his own country, who had never intended to capitulate. Bonaparte, newly acclaimed First Consul, wished to make a salutary example. The prisoner had been taken to Paris.
