Then suddenly Gilles de Retz cried out in his loudest military tones "Henriet, Poitou, De Sillé, bind these maidens upon the iron altar, that Barran-Sathanas may feed his eyes on their beauty and rejoice!" And as they stood motionless upon the square of white marble, the servitors came forward and led them to the great altar of iron.
And during the ceremony Friar Gilles of the order of the Carmelites stood up more reverently than any, for now, seeing that no better might be, he had definitely renounced Barran-Sathanas and cast in his lot with God Almighty.
O Barran-Sathanas, great and only Lord, receive my sacrifice. It is the hour!" And so saying he laid hold of Maud Lindesay by the hair, and raised the curved knife on high. Then from the end of the chapel to which the Lady Sybilla had been taken there came a sound. With a great despairing effort she burst from her captors' hands and ran forward.
Gilles de Retz turned towards the image, and, lifting up his hand solemnly, he cried in a great voice, "O Barran-Sathanas, be pleased to behold this innocent blood spilled slowly in thine honour. As the red fount flows and the red fire burns, restore my youth and make me strong. Faithfully will I serve thee and thee alone, renouncing all other.
