"I am sure she will have her grandmother's valor in the same degree that she is endowed with her beauty." Henory, the child's mother blushed with joy at these words and said smiling to Mamm' Margarid: "I dare not blame Guilhern for having interrupted you; it brought on the pretty compliment."
Like many other women of her kin, she wore a coral necklace round her neck, bracelets inwrought with garnets and other trinkets of gold and silver fashioned at Autun. Around Mamm' Margarid played the children of Guilhern and several other of her kin, while their young mothers busied themselves preparing supper. "Margarid," said Joel to his wife, "I bring a guest to you."
"And the third sacrifice, dear child?" asked Mamm' Margarid; "Who is it?" Hena did not answer.
"Unless the healthy hand take an axe," said the brenn, "and cut off the foot from which the evil proceeds." "And what becomes of the body that is thus mutilated, Joel?" put in Mamm' Margarid who all the while had been listening in silence.

One of the young women hurried with a casket of lint and salves, in which was also a little vial of mistletoe water.
Mamm' Margarid looked around and said: "Let us retire, my children; it is late; to-morrow at break of day we must begin our war preparations;" and turning to the traveler: "May the gods grant you a good rest and pleasant dreams!"
"And our beautiful white heifers with yellow heads!" said Mamm' Margarid shrugging her shoulders and never quitting her distaff, "our sheep whose fleece is so nice and thick.... Come, a good caning for these Romans!" "And the powerful horses of the stock of your magnificent stallion Tom-Bras," put in the traveler.
After lowering her distaff as a sign that the combat was over Mamm' Margarid stepped toward the wounded combatant to give him her attention, while Joel said to his guest, reaching him the cup: "Friend guest, you shall drink this old wine to the triumph of Julyan." "I drink to the triumph of Julyan and also to the valiant defeat of Armel!" responded the stranger.
