An idea occurred to him; he ran in search of a fagot in his bellringer's den, placed on this fagot a great many bundles of laths, and many rolls of lead, munitions which he had not employed so far, and having arranged this pile in front of the hole to the two gutters, he set it on fire with his lantern.
Une idée lui vint. Il courut chercher un fagot dans son bouge de sonneur, posa sur ce fagot force bottes de lattes et force rouleaux de plomb, munitions dont il n’avait pas encore usé, et, ayant bien disposé ce bûcher devant le trou des deux gouttières, il y mit le feu avec sa lanterne.
