After the troop of Karadeucq was safely on the other side a vigorous shove threw the keeper off the bridge down into the fosse, in the bottom of which he disappeared. "Are we all outside of the enclosure of the burg?" asked old Karadeucq. "Yes, all all!"
"And has there never been found any courageous man to plant a dagger in the heart of such a King?" "Karadeucq, my pet, do not heat yourself in that manner. Thanks to God, that Clovis is dead. That is, at any rate, one less. Proceed, good peddler!" "Well, as I was saying, Sigebert the hunchback was King of Cologne. He had a son.
It brings bad luck " "What, mother, simply because I desire to see a Korrigan, some misfortune will befall me? What kind of misfortune?" "Hesus only knows, wild boy! I wish you would keep still; your talk frightens me." "What a tempest! The house shakes!" "And it is on such a night that Karadeucq dared to say he would give his life to see a Korrigan."
Karadeucq understood this, and addressing himself to Chram, said: "Glorious King, let your will be done; but allow me to make one last request." "Hurry up." "The spectacle will only be a butchery; my bear being chained he will not be able to defend himself." "Would you perchance leave him loose, old idiot, and have him devour us!"
The girl is called Roselyk, she is eighteen; the elder of the two boys, Kervan, is three years his sister's senior; the younger, my pet, Karadeucq, is seventeen. When you read these lines, as you will some day, my son Jocelyn, you will surely ask: "What can have been the reason that my great-grandfather Gildas made no other entry in our chronicles than the death of his father Amael?
Kervan remarks to his sister: "Good Roselyk, it was on such a night as this, many long years ago, that a cursed peddler came to our door. Do you remember the incident?" "Alas, I do! The next morning our poor brother Karadeucq left us forever.
During this doubly terrible struggle not only did the mastiff's bite cause the Vagre an intense pain, but he ran at every instant the risk of being cut to pieces, together with Karadeucq, if, by the slightest accident, he but betrayed himself; the lover of the bishopess remained true to his ursine role; he emitted no sound other than a few muffled grunts.
I still am sorry that my son spoke the way he did of the Korrigans." "Turn around, here is your Karadeucq with his hunting dog in the leash, his pouch on his back, his bow in his hand, his arrows at his side. How handsome he is! How handsome! How alert and determined his mien!" "Where are you going, son?"
"And yet was there not a single man resolute enough to plant a dagger in the monster's breast?" "Keep quiet, bad boy! This is the second time that you have given vent to those sentiments of murder and vengeance! You only do so to frighten me!" "Dear wife, our son Karadeucq is indignant, like anyone else, at the crimes of that Frankish King. By my father's bones!
While my son and his wife wrung their arms in desolation I read what my grandson had written: "Good father and good mother when you will read this I, your son Karadeucq, will be very far away from our house.
