"I hear tumultuous cries the clash of arms." "Ronan, the Vagres must have come to our deliverance, the burg is on fire!" "The fire spreads look look it is as clear as day in front of the prison." "A man is running this way why, it is Karadeucq, our father!" "Loysik! Ronan! Oh! my sons." "You here, father?" "Ronan, Loysik, all of you within, join me to break down the iron railing."
Followed by the Master of the Hounds Karadeucq threw himself under the wide and massive table which, although now broken in parts, was not upset by the combat, being, contrary to the habit of the Franks, fastened to the floor.
"Woe is us! it is impossible to break down the railing!" "Free us, father!" "Oh, my sons, I shall die of rage before I fall under the axe of the Franks, if I cannot set you free." "Come, old Karadeucq, one more effort; the Franks who guarded the ergastula are now thinking of nothing else but to extinguish the fire; let us dig a hole under the railing with our poniards, with our nails."
People add that a single drop of the liquid in the cup would make one as wise as God." "And what do the Korrigans eat on that table cloth as white as snow? Do you know, Karadeucq, you who love them so much?" "The dear little darlings! It can not be costly to nourish their rosy and transparent bodies that are hardly two feet high. Sister Roselyk says they are gourmands. What is it they eat?
The King's words were received by the acclamations of the Franks, and allayed the quarrel that was on the point of breaking out. Karadeucq, however, without rising from his knees, cried: "Great King, no sum can repay me for my bear; mercy, beg the count to desist from his project." "The dogs! Here are the dogs!" "In all my life I have not seen such mastiffs!" exclaimed Chram with admiration.
Old Araim died long ago, never ceasing to sorrow over the loss of Karadeucq, his pet. Jocelyn and Madalen, Karadeucq's father and mother also are dead. His elder brother Kervan and his sweet sister Roselyk still live and inhabit the same homestead situated near the sacred stones of Karnak. Kervan is over sixty years of age; he married late; his son, now fifteen years of age, is called Yvon.
Woe to him who sees them!" "I gather that they are expert musicians and that they sing like nightingales." "It is also said of them that they like to pilfer food like cats. Yes, Karadeucq, you may laugh but you should believe me; I am no fibber," observed his sister indignantly.
Five or six soldiers armed with lances or swords would find more sores than pleasure if they rubbed against my Karadeucq with his 'pen-bas. He is so robust, so agile, so dexterous!
When Karadeucq appeared, loud roars of laughter shook the walls of the hall. It was not that the aspect of the old Vagre was amusing, but nothing could be imagined more grotesque than the appearance of the lover of the bishopess under the bear's skin.
Two of the slaves took Ronan upon their shoulders, two others raised Loysik on theirs, and at the request of his bishopess the Master of the Hounds took up little Odille in his vigorous arms as one might raise a child from its cradle, the young girl being too weak to walk. Old Karadeucq followed his two sons.
