As they issued from the banquet hall the Vagres found themselves face to face with two slaves who, having fled through another issue, were running distracted with their torches in their hands. Each Vagre seized one of the slaves by the throat. "Extinguish your torch," said Karadeucq, "and lead me straight to the ergastula, or you die this instant."
Whenever the sun sets in that fashion and the wind blows from the west the tempest lasts two, three, sometimes four and five days. The next morning Karadeucq will be out on the beach to shoot sea-gulls while they graze with their wings the still raging waves. It is the lad's amusement my pet is such a skilful and expert archer!
It is said positively that they assemble at the fountain of Lyrwac'h-Hen, which lies in the thickest of the large oak forest that shades several druid stones. I have gone thither three times and all the three times I saw nothing " "Luckily for you that you saw nothing Karadeucq, because it is said that the Korrigans never meet for their nocturnal dances except near the sacred stones.
When I saw him dangling in the air his corpse was already half eaten up by the carrion crows, and both his hands and feet were chopped off." "Are you quite certain you saw the name of Karadeucq on that gibbet? It would be truly a great deliverance for the country." "Glorious King, his name is so uncommon in our country that it struck me the moment I saw it; hence I remember it well."
It seems to me I hear a voice calling " "Alas! mother, some misfortune threatens our house you said it " "Roselyk, my child, do not add fuel to your mother's fright. What is there astonishing in a traveler calling from without to have the door opened to him " "His cries are not human I am frozen with fear " "You come with me, Kervan, seeing that your mother wishes to keep Karadeucq near her.
After the peddler left the house, before he disappeared at the turning of the road, and as he waved us a last adieu, I said to Madalen: "Well, now, you silly thing! You poor frightened mother did the angry gods punish my pet Karadeucq for having wished to see the Korrigans? Where is the misfortune that this stranger was to bring down upon our house?
Karadeucq left, wiping his tears. Three or four times he turned around to look at his mother he then disappeared behind the trees. The day passed. My favorite did not return. The chase must have carried him far away. He will be here in the evening. I started to write this narrative that sorrow interrupted. It grew dark. Suddenly someone burst into my room.
He will demand the life of my bear of the seigneur count, who can refuse nothing to such a noble guest!" The Frank is vainglorious; his pride delights in the most exaggerated praises of himself; Karadeucq was aware of this; moreover, by addressing himself exclusively to the royal bodyguard, he expected to throw once more the apple of discord between them and the count's leudes.
"Chram is not King in this burg, Neroweg," cried Sigefrid, one of the principal starters of the quarrel that was allayed just as Karadeucq entered the hall with his bear. "No, King Chram cannot by a word deprive us of an amusement that it pleases you to afford us. Neroweg is King in his burg." "No, no," loudly chimed in the other warriors of the count, "we want to see the fight with the bear.
After having skilfully thrown the firebrand in the midst of the leudes of the King and the count, Karadeucq saw with pleasure the flames of angry rivalry between the two sets of barbarians flare up a third time, after twice having been appeased; and it was with delight that he noticed it rage in such manner that both he and his bear were lost sight of.
