à ces mots, les voisines qui étaient là leur dirent :
Lazaro is released, at the intercession of his girl-friends.
The girls who were my neighbours, and who were present, then said:
« Messieurs, cet enfant est un innocent qui, depuis peu, vit avec cet Ă©cuyer et ne sait pas plus que vous ses affaires, car mĂȘme le pauvret sâen venait chez nous et nous lui donnions Ă manger ce que nous pouvions, pour lâamour de Dieu, et Ă la nuit il sâen retournait coucher avec son maĂźtre. »
âSirs! this is an innocent child, and has only been a few days with that esquire, and knows no more than your worships. He used to come to our house and we gave him to eat what we could spare, for the love of God, and at night he went to sleep with the esquire.â
Mon innocence reconnue, ils me lùchÚrent et me mirent en liberté.
Seeing that I was innocent they let me go.
Puis, lâalguazil et le greffier demandĂšrent leurs droits Ă lâhomme et Ă la femme ; sur quoi il y eut entre eux grand dĂ©bat et rumeur,
Then the officer and the scrivener asked for their fees from the man and the old woman, over which there was much contention and noise.
parce que ceux-ci prĂ©tendirent quâils nâĂ©taient pas tenus de payer, puisquâil nây avait rien, et, partant, point de saisie.
They declared that they ought not to be forced to pay, for they had got nothing to pay with, and that the seizure of goods had not been made.
Les autres allĂ©guĂšrent quâils avaient laissĂ© dâaller Ă une autre affaire qui leur importait plus, pour venir Ă celle-ci.
The others maintained that they had been taken away from other business of more consequence.
Enfin, aprĂšs avoir beaucoup disputĂ©, un archer saisit la vieille couverture de la vieille, et, quoiquâil nâen fĂ»t guĂšre chargĂ©,
Finally, after making a great noise, they went away, and I do not know how it ended.
nĂ©anmoins tous les cinq lâescortĂšrent je ne sais oĂč ;
mais il mâest avis que la pauvre couverture paya pour tous, et bien sâemployait-elle, car au moment oĂč elle aurait dĂ» reposer
et se délasser des fatigues passées, elle se louait encore. Voilà comment me quitta mon pauvre troisiÚme maßtre.
Lazaro finds himself deserted by his master.
Having rested from my past troubles I went about to seek employment. Thus I left my poor third master, and know not his unhappy fate.


Par quoi jâachevai de reconnaĂźtre ma dĂ©plorable fortune, qui, se dĂ©clarant tant et plus contre moi, conduisait mes affaires tout Ă rebours ; car, tandis quâil est dâusage que les serviteurs abandonnent leurs maĂźtres, dans mon cas il en fut autrement, mon maĂźtre mâayant laissĂ© et sâĂ©tant sauvĂ© de moi.
Looking back at all that had gone against me, I found that I had managed my affairs in a reverse way. Masters are usually deserted by their boys, but with me it was not so. For my master deserted and fled from me.

FOURTH MASTER. HOW LAZARO TOOK SERVICE WITH A FRIAR OF THE ORDER OF MERCY, AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
Il me fallut chercher le quatriĂšme, et celui-ci fut un moine de la Merci, auquel les femmelettes que jâai dites mâadressĂšrent ;
I had to seek for my fourth master. He was a friar of the Order of Mercy, who was pointed out to me by my girl-friends.
elles lâappelaient parent.
They called him a relation.
Grand ennemi du chĆur et de manger au couvent, il se serait damnĂ© pour courir dehors, et aimait particuliĂšrement les affaires sĂ©culiĂšres et les visites, tant que je pense quâil rompait Ă lui seul plus de souliers que tout le reste du couvent.
He was a great enemy of the choir, and of having his meals in the convent. He was fond of walking about, of secular business, and of paying visits, so much so that I think he wore out more shoes than any one else in the convent.
Ce maĂźtre me donna les premiers souliers que jâusai en ma vie ;
The friar gave me the first shoes I ever burst in my life.
mais ils ne rĂ©sistĂšrent pas huit jours, et moi-mĂȘme je ne pus rĂ©sister plus longtemps Ă son trot.
They did not last eight days. I could not endure so much trotting about.


Pour cela et dâautres choses que je ne dis pas, je le quittai.
For this reason, and some other little things I will not mention, I left him.
CHAPITRE VI. COMMENT LAZARE SERVIT UN BULLISTE, ET DES CHOSES QUâIL VIT ĂTANT AVEC LUI
FIFTH MASTER. HOW LAZARO TOOK SERVICE WITH A SELLER OF PAPAL INDULGENCES
Mon sort me fit rencontrer le cinquiĂšme, un bulliste, le plus hardi, effrontĂ© et rusĂ© rĂ©partiteur de bulles que ne vis onques ni compte voir ni pense que nul nâa vu,
My fifth master chanced to be a man engaged in the sale of Papal Indulgences. He was the most shameless and impudent distributor of them that ever I saw or hope to see, nor do I believe that any one else ever saw one like him.
car il avait et cherchait à cette fin des moyens et maniÚres, et de forts subtils expédients.
For he had and sought out his own modes and methods, and very cunning inventions.

En entrant dans les villages oĂč il devait prĂ©senter la bulle, premiĂšrement il offrait aux prĂȘtres ou curĂ©s quelques menues choses, qui nâavaient non plus grande valeur ni substance, une laitue murcienne, si câĂ©tait la saison, une couple de limons ou dâoranges, une alberge, quelques pĂȘches, ou Ă chacun une poire bergamote.
Coming to the place where he wanted to effect the sales, he began by making trifling presents to the clergy, but nothing of any great value: a lettuce of Murcia if it was the season, a couple of lemons or oranges, a peach, a couple of nectarines, or some green pears.
De cette maniĂšre il tĂąchait de se les rendre propices, afin quâils lui tĂ©moignassent leur reconnaissance en favorisant son nĂ©goce et en exhortant leurs ouailles Ă prendre la bulle.
In this way he got them into good humour for favouring his business, and inducing their parishioners to buy his Indulgences.

Il sâinformait de lâinstruction des prĂȘtres, et, sâil apprenait quâils sussent le latin, il nâen soufflait un traĂźtre mot pour ne point broncher, mais usait dâun gentil et bien troussĂ© castillan et dâun langage fort libre ; si, au contraire, on lui rapportait que lesdits prĂȘtres Ă©taient de ces rĂ©vĂ©rends qui sont plutĂŽt ordonnĂ©s pour leur argent que pour leurs lettres ou leur piĂ©tĂ©, il jouait devant eux au saint Thomas, et deux heures durant parlait latin, ou du moins quelque chose qui y ressemblait, encore que ce nâen fĂ»t pas.
Subtle contrivances of the seller of Indulgences.
If they said that they understood Latin, he did not say a word in that language, for fear of stumbling, but he resorted a gentle and well-considered way of telling his story, with a most seductive tongue. If he found that the clergy were of the reverend class, he talked to them in Latin for two hours, at least what appeared like Latin, though it might not have been so.
Quand de gré on ne lui prenait pas les bulles, il cherchait à les faire prendre de force, molestant le peuple
When the people did not buy the Indulgences freely, he sought how to make them do so by bringing trouble on their village.
et parfois usant de cauteleux artifices.
At other times he tried cunning tricks.
Et comme il serait trop long de conter tous ceux que je lui vis employer, je nâen dirai quâun fort subtil et plaisant, qui montrera assez son adresse.
But as all his devices would take long to relate, I will only recount one that was specially subtle, and proved his sufficiency.
En un lieu de la Sagra de TolĂšde, oĂč il avait prĂȘchĂ© deux ou trois jours, faisant ses diligences accoutumĂ©es, les gens ne lui avaient pas pris la bulle, ni, Ă ce quâil me parut, nâavaient envie de la lui prendre.
He had preached for two or three days in a village near Toledo, using all his accustomed arts, but no one had bought an Indulgence, nor was there any sign of an intention to do so.

Il sâen donnait au diable, et, ayant pensĂ© ce quâil devait faire, rĂ©solut de convoquer le peuple pour le lendemain au matin expĂ©dier la bulle.
He had devoted them all to the Devil, and was meditating what to do next, when he determined to call the parishioners together the next morning and make a last effort.
La veille au soir, aprĂšs souper, lâalguazil et lui sâĂ©tant mis Ă jouer la collation, eurent dispute Ă propos du jeu et de mauvaises paroles, lui appelant lâalguazil larron,
Sham quarrel between the seller of Indulgences and the constable.
That night he and the constable, after supper, sat down to play at cards, and they began to quarrel over the game, and make use of bad language.
et lâalguazil lâappelant faussaire.
The seller of Indulgences called the constable a thief, and the constable called him a liar.
Sur quoi M. le Commissaire mon maĂźtre prit une pique qui Ă©tait au-dessus de la porte du lieu oĂč ils jouaient,
On this my master took up a lance which was in the doorway.
et lâalguazil mit la main Ă lâĂ©pĂ©e quâil portait Ă sa ceinture.
The constable put his hand on his sword.
Au bruit et aux cris que tous nous fĂźmes, les hĂŽtes et les voisins accoururent et sâinterposĂšrent ;
At the row they were making the guests and neighbours came and got between them.

mais les deux joueurs, fort en colĂšre, tĂąchaient de se dĂ©gager de ceux qui les sĂ©paraient et voulaient sâentre-tuer.
In great fury the combatants struggled to free themselves and get at each other.
Et comme au grand vacarme le monde sâamassait, tellement que la maison en Ă©tait toute pleine, eux, voyant quâils ne pouvaient sâattaquer avec leurs armes, Ă©changeaient des paroles injurieuses,
But as the place was full of people they saw that they would be prevented from fighting, so they again resorted to abusive language.
et, entre autres, lâalguazil dit Ă mon maĂźtre quâil Ă©tait un faussaire et que les bulles quâil prĂȘchait Ă©taient fausses.
Among other things the constable said to my master that he was a liar, and that the Indulgences about which he preached were false.
Finalement, les gens du lieu, ne rĂ©ussissant pas Ă les apaiser, dĂ©cidĂšrent de conduire lâalguazil de ce logis Ă un autre,
At last the people, as they could not pacify the disputants, determined to take the constable away.
et ainsi mon maßtre resta seul, fort irrité.
Thus my master was left in a great rage.

Puis les hĂŽtes et les voisins lâayant priĂ© dâoublier sa colĂšre, il sâen alla dormir, et nous tous fĂ»mes nous coucher.
Later on the guests and neighbours entreated him to moderate his anger and go to bed, which in the end we all did.
Le matin venu, mon maĂźtre se rendit Ă lâĂ©glise et fit sonner la messe et le sermon pour expĂ©dier la bulle.
When morning came my master went to the church to arrange about the Mass, and about preaching the sermon to announce the Indulgences.
Le peuple sâassembla, murmurant des bulles, disant quâelles Ă©taient fausses et que lâalguazil lui-mĂȘme, en disputant, lâavait dĂ©couvert ;
The people assembled, but they came murmuring at the Indulgences, saying that they were false, and that the constable himself had found it out.

de maniĂšre que si par avant ils nâavaient dĂ©jĂ guĂšre envie de prendre la bulle, cela la leur fit dĂ©tester du tout au tout.
If before they disliked buying them they now detested the idea.
M. le Commissaire monta en chaire et commença son sermon, excitant les gens Ă ne pas renoncer Ă un si grand bien et Ă lâindulgence que la sainte bulle leur confĂ©rait.
The seller of Indulgences begins his sermon.
The commissary or seller of Indulgences went up into the pulpit, and began his sermon by urging the people not to fail in getting the benefit of such a blessing and such Indulgences as the sacred Bull brought them.
Or, tandis quâil Ă©tait au plus beau du sermon, voici lâalquazil qui entre par la porte de lâĂ©glise, fait sa priĂšre, puis, se levant, dâune voix haute et grave, commence posĂ©ment Ă dire :
When he was in the middle of his sermon the constable entered by the door of the church, and when he had said a prayer, he got up and addressed the people in a loud voice.
« Bonnes gens, Ă©coutez-moi un mot, et aprĂšs vous Ă©couterez qui vous voudrez. Sachez que je suis venu ici avec ce charlatan qui vous prĂȘche et qui mâa enjĂŽlĂ© et persuadĂ© de lâaider en cette affaire, Ă condition que nous partagerions le profit. Mais maintenant, considĂ©rant le tort que je causerais Ă ma conscience et Ă votre bourse, je me repens de ce que jâai fait et vous dĂ©clare ouvertement que les bulles quâil prĂȘche sont fausses, que vous ne devez ni le croire ni les prendre, et que je nâai en cela part directe ni indirecte ; ce que je prouve en renonçant dĂšs Ă prĂ©sent Ă ma verge et la jetant par terre,
Sham denunciation of the Indulgences by the constable.
âGood people,â he said, âhear one word from me, and then listen to any one you like. I came here with this cheat who is preaching to you, and he deceived me. He said that I should help him in this business, and that we would divide the profits. Now see the harm he would have done to my conscience and to your pockets. I plainly declare to you that the Indulgences he is preaching about are false, and that you should not believe in them nor buy them. I will not be a party to it, directly nor indirectly. From this time I give up the wand of office and put it on the ground.
afin que si un jour cet homme est puni pour sa faussetĂ©, vous me soyez tĂ©moins que je nâai pas Ă©tĂ© avec lui ni ne lui ai prĂȘtĂ© assistance, mais que je vous ai dĂ©trompĂ©s en dĂ©nonçant sa malice. »
If hereafter this man is punished for his falsehoods, you must be my witness that I am not a party to them, and have neither aided nor abetted them. On the contrary, I have undeceived you and exposed his imposture.â

Et il termina ainsi sa harangue.
Then he concluded his speech.
Quelques personnes honorables qui Ă©taient lĂ voulurent se lever et chasser lâalguazil de lâĂ©glise pour Ă©viter le scandale ;
Some respectable men wanted to take the constable and turn him out of the church to avoid scandal.
mais mon maĂźtre les retint et commanda Ă tous, sous peine dâexcommunication, de ne point le violenter et de lui laisser dire tout ce quâil voudrait.
But my master raised his hand and ordered that no one should molest him on pain of excommunication.
Lui-mĂȘme garda le silence pendant que lâalguazil dit ce que jâai rapportĂ©.
He declared that the constable must be allowed to say whatever he liked.
Et, lorsque celui-ci se tut, mon maĂźtre lui dit que sâil voulait parler encore, quâil parlĂąt.
When the constable had finished, my master asked him whether he wanted to say anything more.
Et lâalguazil rĂ©pondit : « Il y a bien plus Ă dire sur vous et votre faussetĂ©, mais cela suffit pour lâinstant. »
The constable replied, âI could say a good deal more about your falsehoods, but this will do for the present.â
Alors M. le Commissaire, tombant à genoux dans la chaire, les mains jointes, les yeux levés au ciel, dit ceci :
The commissary then knelt down in the pulpit, clasped his hands, turned his eyes up, and said:
« Seigneur Dieu, Ă qui aucune chose nâest cachĂ©e, mais toutes sont manifestes, et Ă qui rien nâest impossible, tu sais la vĂ©ritĂ© et combien je suis injustement outragĂ©. En ce qui me touche, je le pardonne, pour que toi, Seigneur, tu me pardonnes. Ne prends point garde Ă cet homme qui ne sait ce quâil dit, ni ce quâil fait. Mais lâinjure Ă toi faite, je te prie et te requiers, au nom de la justice, de ne la point dissimuler,
Sham miracle worked on the constable.
âO Lord! from whom nothing is hidden, and to whom all things are known, to whom nothing is impossible but all things are possible, Thou knowest the truth and how unjustly I have been accused. All that concerns myself I freely pardon, as Thou, Lord, hast pardoned me. Look not at this man who knows not what he does or says. I only pray for justice.

car peut-ĂȘtre se trouve-t-il ici quelquâun qui pensait prendre la bulle et qui, ayant ajoutĂ© foi aux paroles fausses de cet homme, est prĂšs dây renoncer. Et cela devant ĂȘtre si prĂ©judiciable au prochain, je te supplie, Seigneur, de ne le point dissimuler, mais de montrer ici promptement un miracle qui ait lieu en cette forme : si ce que celui-ci a dit est vrai et si je suis coupable de malice et de faussetĂ©, que cette chaire sâabĂźme avec moi et descende sept brasses sous terre, dâoĂč elle ni moi ne reparaissions jamais ; si, au contraire, ce que je dis est vrai et si cet homme, Ă lâinstigation du dĂ©mon et pour priver et frustrer ceux qui sont ici dâun si grand bien, a menti mĂ©chamment, quâil soit chĂątiĂ© et quâĂ tous soit manifestĂ©e sa malice. »
Some who are present may perchance have intended to take these holy Indulgences, and on hearing the false words of that man they may have changed their minds. So I pray to Thee, O Lord, that Thou wilt work a miracle in this way. If what my accuser says is true, that I am evil and false, let this pulpit sink from me forty feet under ground, and never appear again. But if what I say is true, and that man is persuaded by the Devil to try to deprive those present of such great benefits, let him be punished, that all may know his malice.â
Ă peine mon dĂ©vot maĂźtre avait-il terminĂ© son oraison, que le misĂ©rable alguazil tomba de son haut et donna si grand coup, que lâĂ©glise tout entiĂšre en retentit ; puis se mit Ă bramer, Ă lancer de lâĂ©cume par la bouche, Ă la tordre, Ă faire des grimaces avec son visage, Ă se dĂ©battre des pieds et des mains et Ă se rouler de cĂŽtĂ© et dâautre sur le sol.
Scarcely had my devout master finished his speech when the bad constable fell to the ground with such a noise that the church resounded. Then he began to groan and foam at the mouth, making hideous faces, throwing about his arms and legs, and rolling about on the ground.
Le tumulte et les cris des assistants Ă©taient tels quâentre eux ils ne sâentendaient plus. Plusieurs Ă©taient Ă©pouvantĂ©s et perplexes ;
The noise made by the people was so great that they could not hear each other speak. Some were astounded and terrified.
les uns disaient : « Dieu le secoure et le sauve » ;
Others cried to God for help.
dâautres : « Câest bien fait pour lui, puisquâil porte un faux tĂ©moignage. »
Finalement, quelques-uns, non sans grande frayeur, Ă mon avis, sâapprochĂšrent et le saisirent par les bras, dont il donnait Ă la ronde de fortes gourmades ; dâautres le prirent par les jambes, les empoignant solidement, car on nâeĂ»t trouvĂ© au monde mule vicieuse qui lançùt de si violentes ruades.
A few, not without trepidation, took his arms and held his legs, for there is not a mule in the world that could have given fiercer kicks.

Et, Ă plus de quinze ensemble, le maintinrent ainsi un long temps, lâalguazil leur distribuant Ă tous des coups Ă pleines mains et frappant sur le museau de ceux qui se relĂąchaient.
So they held him for a long time, there being more than fifteen men keeping him down, and to all he gave blows, and, if they were not careful, kicks also.
Pendant que ceci se passait, le seigneur mon maĂźtre Ă©tait agenouillĂ© dans sa chaire, les mains et les yeux tendus vers le ciel, et comme transportĂ© en la divine essence ; en sorte que ni les plaintes, ni le bruit, ni les clameurs qui remplissaient lâĂ©glise nâĂ©taient capables de le tirer de sa pieuse contemplation.
All this time my master was on his knees in the pulpit, with hands and eyes raised to heaven, transported by the divine essence. The noise and disturbance in the church had no effect on his sacred contemplations.
Enfin ces bonnes gens sâapprochĂšrent de lui, et, lâappelant, le rĂ©veillĂšrent et le suppliĂšrent de secourir ce pauvre homme qui se mourait, sans tenir compte de ce qui sâĂ©tait passĂ© ni de ses mauvaises paroles, puisquâil en avait dĂ©jĂ reçu le payement ; et lui dirent que sâil pouvait quelque chose pour dĂ©livrer lâalguazil du pĂ©ril oĂč il Ă©tait et des souffrances quâil souffrait, il le fĂźt pour lâamour de Dieu, car ils Ă©taient pleinement convaincus de la faute du coupable et de sa vĂ©ritĂ© et bontĂ© Ă lui, le Seigneur, Ă sa requĂȘte et pour le venger, nâayant voulu diffĂ©rer le chĂątiment.
The people intercede for the constable.
Some good men came to him, and, speaking loudly to arouse him, entreated him to succour that poor creature who was dying. They besought him not to dwell upon things that were past, and not to consider his evil deeds, as he had been punished. They prayed to him that, if he could do any good, he would deliver the man from his sufferings for the love of God. They declared that they clearly saw the sin of the culprit, and my masterâs truth and goodness, but entreated him to pray to the Lord not to prolong the manâs punishment.
M. le Commissaire, comme qui se rĂ©veille dâun doux sommeil, les regarda, regarda le dĂ©linquant et tous ceux qui lâentouraient, puis, dâun ton fort posĂ©, leur dit :
All the people pray for the constable to be forgiven.
The commissary, like one awaking from a delicious dream, looking long at the culprit and at those who were round him, then said:

« Bonnes gens, jamais vous nâauriez dĂ» prier pour un homme en qui Dieu a si puissamment manifestĂ© sa puissance ; toutefois, comme il nous commande de ne point rendre mal pour mal, mais de pardonner les injures, nous pouvons en confiance supplier Sa MajestĂ© divine quâElle accomplisse ce quâElle nous ordonne de faire et pardonne Ă celui qui lâa offensĂ©e en mettant obstacle au triomphe de la sainte foi. Allons tous le prier. »
âMy good friends, you have interceded for a man on whom God has so signally laid his Hands. But He has enjoined us not to return evil for evil, and to pardon injuries. We may confidently pray that His goodness will pardon this offender who has tried to put obstacles into the working of His holy faith. Let us all pray for this.â

Et, descendant de sa chaire, leur recommanda de supplier fort dĂ©votement Notre-Seigneur dâavoir pour agrĂ©able de pardonner Ă ce pĂ©cheur, de lui rendre la santĂ© et le bon sens et de chasser de son corps le dĂ©mon, puisque Sa MajestĂ© avait permis que pour son grand pĂ©chĂ© il y entrĂąt.
He then came down from the pulpit, and desired that all should pray very devoutly to our Lord to pardon that sinner, and restore him to health and sound judgment, delivering him from the Devil, if, for his great sin, the Evil One had been permitted to enter into him.
Tous se jetĂšrent Ă genoux, et, devant lâautel, avec les prĂȘtres, commencĂšrent Ă chanter Ă voix basse une litanie, tandis que monsieur mon maĂźtre, prenant la croix et lâeau bĂ©nite, alla auprĂšs de lâalguazil, sur le corps duquel il chanta ;
The farce is carried on to completion.
All went down on their knees before the altar, while the clergy began to chant a litany in a low voice, coming with a cross and the holy water, after singing over it.
puis, levant au ciel ses mains et ses yeux, dont on ne voyait presque plus rien quâun peu de blanc, commença une oraison, non moins longue que dĂ©vote, qui fit pleurer toute lâassistance (comme il arrive coutumiĂšrement aux sermons de la Passion, lorsquâils sont prĂȘchĂ©s par un dĂ©vot prĂ©dicateur Ă un auditoire dĂ©vot), suppliant Notre-Seigneur, qui ne veut pas la mort du pĂ©cheur, mais sa vie et son repentir, de pardonner et de donner vie et santĂ© Ă ce malheureux, induit par le dĂ©mon et sollicitĂ© par la mort et le pĂ©chĂ©, afin quâil se repentĂźt et confessĂąt ses fautes.
My master raised his hands to heaven, and turned his eyes up until scarcely anything could be seen but the whites. He then commenced an address not less long than devout, which made the people weep as they do over a sermon on the Passion delivered by a famous preacher. He prayed to the Lord not to require the death of the sinner, but rather to give his life back to one who had been led away by the Devil, that, being convinced of his sin unto death, he might receive pardon, life, and health, and that he might repent and confess.
Cela fait, il commanda dâapporter la bulle, quâil mit sur la tĂȘte de lâalguazil.
This done, he would receive the Indulgence.
AussitÎt le pécheur commença à se sentir mieux et peu à peu reprit connaissance.
Presently the sinful constable began gradually to recover until he was himself again.

Et, lorsquâil fut bien retournĂ© en son bon sens, il se jeta aux pieds de M. le Commissaire et lui demanda pardon, confessant avoir dit ce que jâai rapportĂ© par la bouche et le commandement du dĂ©mon, premiĂšrement pour faire tort Ă mon maĂźtre et se venger de lâinjure quâil en avait reçue, puis, surtout, Ă cause que le dĂ©mon Ă©tait trĂšs chagrin du bien que les gens allaient recevoir en prenant la bulle.
When he was well, he fell at the feet of the commissary asking for pardon, and confessing that what he had said was by order of the Devil, to do my master harm and to be avenged on him, but principally because the Devil was very much annoyed at the good that was done by the Indulgences being received.
Le seigneur mon maßtre lui pardonna et tous deux se réconciliÚrent.
My master pardoned him, and signs of friendship were passed between them.
Et Ă prendre la bulle il y eut si grande presse, quâen tout le village Ăąme vivante ne sâen voulut passer : mari et femme, garçons et filles, serviteurs et servantes, tous la prirent.
Then there was such eagerness to buy the Indulgences that scarcely a soul in the place was without oneâhusbands and wives, sons and daughters, boys and girls.
La nouvelle du cas se rĂ©pandit par les villages circonvoisins, de sorte que, lorsque nous y arrivions, il nâĂ©tait pas besoin de prĂȘcher le sermon ni dâaller Ă lâĂ©glise, car les gens venaient prendre les bulles au logis, comme si çâavaient Ă©tĂ© des poires quâon eĂ»t donnĂ© gratis.
The news of what had happened soon spread to the neighbouring villages, and when we came to them it was not necessary to preach nor even to go to church.

De maniĂšre que, dans dix ou douze villages des alentours oĂč nous fĂ»mes, mon maĂźtre distribua tout autant de milliers de bulles sans la moindre prĂ©dication.
In ten or twelve villages of that neighbourhood where we were, my master sold as many thousand Indulgences, without having to preach a single sermon.
Quand le tour fut jouĂ©, je dois confesser humblement que, comme les autres, jâen fus Ă©pouvantĂ© et crus que câĂ©tait vrai ; mais aprĂšs, Ă entendre les rires et moqueries quâen firent mon maĂźtre et lâalguazil, je compris que tout avait Ă©tĂ© imaginĂ© par mon industrieux et inventif maĂźtre,
Lazaro was behind the scenes.
When he performed this farce, I confess that I was astounded and believed like many others. But afterwards I was a witness to the jokes and laughter that my master and the constable had over the business. I knew how it had been planned and arranged by the industry and inventive talent of my master.
