Here are your good friends the Vagres! They approach! Death to the seigneurs and the bishops! "Six men united are stronger than a hundred divided: Let us unite! Each for all, and all for each! 'The devil take the Franks! Long live the Vagrery and Old Gaul!" Who sang this song? Ronan the Vagre. Where did he sing it?
Instead of being taken to Clermont for trial, Ronan and the bishopess are to be executed at the burg to-morrow morning instead of being healed of their wounds and able to use their legs, Ronan and his brother are rendered helpless.
Gaston recognised them, and caught his breath with wonder and confusion. "Who has sent them?" Delia said to the servant. "They come from the Chateau Ronan, mademoiselle." Delia dismissed the servant. "The Chateau Ronan?" she asked of Gaston. "Where I am living." "It is not necessary to speak of this?" She flushed. "Not at all. I will have them sent back.
We have in the ergastula, loaded with chains, first of all, Ronan the Vagre and the hermit-laborer; they are now both nearly healed of their wounds; then we have the little blonde slave, she is not yet well, she still seems to be at death's door; besides that, we have the handsome bishopess she is not wounded but is possessed of the devil ".
I saw Ensign Ronan, young, slender, smooth of face, appearing scarce more than a boy, his short fatigue-jacket buttoned to the throat in spite of the heat, hurrying here and there in his enthusiasm, ever upon his lips some happy phrase to take the sting from his word of command.
"Ronan, I tried to kill myself when I thought you were dead; you are sentenced to death like ourselves; I have neither father nor mother; what should I regret, all the less seeing that we are to live again in yonder worlds near those whom we have loved? We shall soon meet again." "By the faith of a Vagre, what is death, beautiful bishopess? Only a change of vestments and lodging.
Remember the mercifulness of Jesus towards Magdalen and the adulteress!" exclaimed the hermit, while Odille, with her head resting on the breast of that true disciple of the young man of Nazareth murmured: "They will kill Ronan! They will kill him!" "Here I am back to you, little Odille! The Franks did not kill me. The people whom they brought in chains are all set free!" Who said this?
Now, then, my sturdy Vagres, we will penetrate to the very heart of the episcopal villa by that underground gallery, without need of boring holes through walls or breaking doors or windows. If I promised, did I keep?" "As always, Ronan! You promised and kept!" The troop entered the former warm water bath, now chapel of St. Loup. It was dark as a pocket.
And addressing Loysik, Ronan added: "Brother, fate sends to us a descendant of that family of Neroweg, whom our ancestor Schanvoch fought two centuries ago on the borders of the Rhine. I wish to kill that barbarian, rid Gaul of him, and protect our own family from the peril of his descendants " "Kill me!" murmured Odille, falling on her knees before the Vagre and clasping her hands.
"Brother," said Ronan, "they seem to be in high feather at the burg! Do you hear the distant din of their merriment?
