I well remembered a remark of Ensign Ronan, as the firing went on. 'Such, turning to me, 'is to be our fate to be shot down like brutes! "'Well, sir, said the commanding officer, who overheard him, 'are you afraid? "'No, replied the high-spirited young man, 'I can march up to the enemy where you dare not show your face. And his subsequent gallant behavior showed this to be no idle boast.
"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."
Propagate that doctrine among your brothers, and the end will be reached without the spilling of blood." Saying this the hermit-laborer relapsed into his previous silent revery. "Twice have I camped on the trail of that last king of Auvergne king by the grace of pillage and massacre," said Ronan, "and both times I failed to catch him.
When at the close of the repast Ronan gave his companions the signal for the songs and dance, they ran away tumultuously from the place of the recent banquet to give a loose to their bacchic gayety and indulge in a giddy dance on the sward of another and nearby clearing.
At this moment, Ensign Ronan was fighting at a little distance with a tall and portly Indian. The former, mortally wounded, was nearly down and struggling desperately on one knee. Mrs. Helm, pointing her finger and directing the attention of the doctor to him, cried: "Look at that young man; he dies like a soldier!"
"'Oh, I cannot die! exclaimed he, 'I am not fit to die if I had but a short time to prepare death is awful! "I pointed to Ensign Ronan, who, though mortally wounded and nearly down, was still fighting with desperation on one knee. "'Look at that man! said I. 'At least he dies like a soldier.
Here you have only friends; you are still young, do not despair." The child contemplated the Vagre with wondering eyes; he spoke to her in a gentle voice. She stepped towards the altar and sat down; she looked at Ronan only; she listened only to his words. "O! Master of the Hounds!
The bishopess stepped out under the tall trees of the garden of the villa and continued her promenade, while Ronan again addressed the holy man: "Sentence shall be passed upon thee by those whom thou hast oppressed. Ye poor ecclesiastical slaves, what shall be done to this wicked and profligate religious humbug who buries the living with the dead?" "Let him be hanged! Death to the bishop!" "Yes!
Oh, Ronan, it is a long time till to-morrow! And the execution! The execution! How it will be prolonged unless the pain be so intense that I die immediately." "And will you not regret life?"
The rear of the fleeing troop was brought up by four Vagres, panting for breath and bent down by a heavy bundle that they carried between them. It was a large coarse cloth wound around a gagged and firmly bound man, whose head was additionally wrapped in a jacket. "Who is that man, my brave Master of the Hounds? Do you know?" asked Ronan.
