Lanrivain, the next day, hunted out a shabby calf volume from the back of an upper shelf of his library.
"Yes -- here it is. What does it call itself? "A History of the Assizes of the Duchy of Brittany. Quimper, 1702". The book was written about a hundred years later than the Kerfol affair; but I believe the account is transcribed pretty literally from the judicial records. Anyhow, it's queer reading. And there's a Hervé de Lanrivain mixed up in it -- not exactly "my" style, as you'll see. But then he's only a collateral. Here, take the book up to bed with you. I don't exactly remember the details; but after you've read it I'll bet anything you'll leave your light burning all night!"
