It will be an easy thing for us to fortify ourselves in our possession and maintain our rights." Kervan followed closely the Vagre's narrative and asked him with deep interest whether his companions took the advice of Loysik. "Yes, dear uncle, almost all the Vagres accepted Loysik's offer; few only preferred to continue their life of adventure.
"How, my friends, do you mean to say that Ronan the Vagre, the impious wretch, dared to commit such a crime? And what about the women, were they also put to the torture?" "The little slave is still near death's door of a wound that she inflicted upon herself in an attempt to commit suicide. She made the attempt in a fit of despair when she saw that the Vagres were cut to pieces."
This is the second time that our two families meet across the ages. You had my two sons put to the torture, and to-day they were to be executed upon your orders. Now you are in my power; you are about to die, and your stock will be extinct." A flash of joy lighted the Frank's eyes, and he answered with a firm voice: "Kill me!" "My Vagres, this man belongs to me it is my part of the booty."
"What spectacle is that to be, my friends?" "The four people who were sentenced to-day will be executed Ronan the Vagre, the hermit-laborer, a renegade monk who joined the Vagrery; a little female slave, their accomplice; and the bishopess, an accursed witch; they say she once was the wife of our blessed bishop Cautin." "Oh, have they been capturing Vagres in this region, my friends?
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?
Moreover, thou didst absolve the count of a crime in order that thou mightst possess a young slave, a girl of barely fifteen years. Now, then, under the code of the Vagrery, such episcopal profligacy also is a damnable sin that demands punishment." And addressing himself to the Vagres, Ronan added: "Bring in the young slave!" Ronan was right.
Several Vagres, placed on watch at the outskirt of the forest and near the approaches of the fastnesses of Allange, guarded the troop against a surprise in case that, the sack and burning of the villa becoming known, the Frankish counts and dukes of the region should fear an attack upon their own burgs, and start with their leudes in the pursuit of the Vagres.
And seeing that the hermit was stepping towards him: "Adieu, friend!" "Ronan, I shall accompany you." "Will you join us in running the Vagrery? You, a hermit? You among us, 'Wand'ring men, 'Wolves, 'Heads of Wolves, Vagres that we are? A saint in the company of demons?" "They that be whole need not the physician, but they that are sick."
Ever and anon Ronan approached the wagon: "Take courage, Odille; you will get accustomed to us. The Vagres are not as wolfish as evil tongues pretend."
Where would you have me go, if not with you who speak to me with so much kindness?" "Well, then, come with me, and dry your tears, little Odille. No tears are shed among the Vagres. You shall ride on one of the wagons of the villa in which our companions will carry the booty. Come, take my arm, and let us walk out, poor little child. We shall go whithersoever chance may take us!"
