Chapter XXV
AT THE HEARTH OF JOEL. Two years have passed since the death of Count Neroweg. We are now in winter; the wind moans, the snow falls. It was on the day following a similar night that, nearly fifty years ago, Karadeucq, the grandson of old Araim left the paternal roof, under which the following narrative takes place, in order to run the Bagaudy, seduced thereto by a peddler's story. Old Araim died long ago, never ceasing to sorrow over the loss of Karadeucq, his pet.
