"The folk have just gone out to fill the racks of the cattle," answered Margarid; "they will be back shortly. If our guest is willing we shall be pleased of his company at supper." "I thank the wife of Joel, and shall wait," said the unknown. "And while waiting," remarked Joel, "you can tell us a story "
The magistrates of Vannes have also sent out messengers in all direction ordering that fires be lighted from hill to hill, and thereby give immediate notice of the imminent danger from one end of Britanny to the other."

Mamm' Margarid shook her head after a second inspection of the wound, while Julyan steadying himself against the wall sought to hold up his friend.

"And the third sacrifice, dear child?" asked Mamm' Margarid; "Who is it?" Hena did not answer.
