Bernez ceased his task for a moment to look at him . ` Ah , so you know about that , ' replied he ; ` unluckily Marzinne wants a brother-in-law who has more pounds than I have pence . ' ` And suppose I were to give you more pounds than Marzinne ever dreamed of ? ' whispered the sorcerer glancing round to make sure that no one overheard him . ` You ? ' ` Yes , I. ' ` And what am I to do to gain the money , ' inquired Bernez , who knew quite well that the Breton peasant gives nothing for nothing . ` What I want of you only needs a little courage , ' answered the old man . ` If that is all , tell me what I have got to do , and I will do it , ' cried Bernez , letting fall his chisel . ` If I have to risk thirty deaths , I am ready . ' When the beggar knew that Bernez would give him no trouble , he told him how , during that very night , the treasures under the stones would be uncovered , and how in a very few minutes they could take enough to make them both rich for life . But he kept silence as to the fate that awaited the man who was without the crowsfoot and the trefoil , and Bernez thought that nothing but boldness and quickness were necessary . So he said : ` Old man , I am grateful , indeed , for the chance you have given me , and there will always be a pint of my blood at your service . Just let me finish carving this cross . It is nearly done , and I will join you in the fir wood at whatever hour you please . ' ` You must be there without fail an hour before midnight , ' answered the wizard , and went on his way . As the hour struck from the great church at Plouhinec , Bernez entered the wood . He found the beggar already there with a bag in each hand , and a third slung round his neck . ` You are punctual , ' said the old man , ` but we need not start just yet . You had better sit down and think what you will do when your pockets are filled with gold and silver and jewels . ' ` Oh , it wo n't take me long to plan out that , ' returned Bernez with a laugh . '
