Aramis attempts to warn the Abbott of an imminent violent threat approaching the monastery, but his concerns are dismissed as worldly restlessness. The scene highlights the conflict between Aramis's soldier past and his current life of faith as he struggles to protect the orphans under his care.
ARAMIS: We should leave the monastery immediately. For the sake of the children -
ABBOTT: The children, yes. It is past the hour for their lessons, brother.
ARAMIS: With the greatest of respect Abbott, I do not think you realise the danger -
ABBOTT: The children have lost their homes and their families, yet you seek to take their last refuge from them. The conduct of the war is no concern of ours.
ARAMIS: These men were not soldiers. What I saw on the road was cold-blooded murder. We cannot protect ourselves here. Not alone.
ABBOTT: We are never alone, brother. We have the best protection of all. God watches over us.
