-Do you understood, do the pigs from here speak like the pigs back in France ?
The man watched you and seemed to understand.
-Yes ! Yes ! This pig does not speaks like an honest French pig ! He speaks a foreign tongue, where does he comes from ?
Sausage the swineherd answered.
-Well he was born from his mother that I bought at a market at Podunk. I bought it from a swineherd called Edward.
Edward ! Like a Plantagenet ! It was clear. You said.
-It must have been an English criminal because his name is English !
Ancel le Purineur approved, he said.
-Yes messire, the sounds of the pig sound like English...
Some people were very interested while others were sceptical. One of the peasants even said.
-And who are these Anglish ? That they speak about ?
-Maybe a barbarian clan ? Or a people with angulous face features ?
No, the Englishmen were not Guelph nor this but you had no time to explain. But one of the peasants, a short cagot with hairy feet said.
-But all the pigs talk in the same tongue !
You wanted to answer but Ancel was quicker !
-Que nenni ! No ! They talk in tongues regarding to where they are from ! Do all men talk in the same language ?
They were agreements, people agreed with Ancel and you were happy about his craftiness. Once in the mood for arguing he could go far. You suggested.
-Maybe you can interpret what the pig says, looking at his face and expression.
The people agreed, it seemed like a good idea and Ancel began to threaten it with his knife.
-Have you killed Kenny, the baby ?
-Oink oink !
-I think it means yes ! He said that he did it !
At the words of Ancel the people began to scream and make much noise over such indignation.
-Why did you do it ? Tell me or I will cut your ear !
-Oink oink ! Oiiiiiiiiink !
The pig tried to flee, and Ancel scratched his head. He then said.
-It seems that it was to create mayhem in the lordship ! It was a mission from his old swineherd Edward !
An English spy ?!? The fact that they could talk to pigs did not amaze you that much, pigs and Englishmen were much alike, but it was News. Some people seemed to be outraged while others began to say.
-It is a plot from Podunk ! They are in league with the baron ! And lord Hostil !
-No it is stupid, a pig cannot be part of a plot !
-But the Druid just said this !
The swineherd stoped it.
-But he never met Edward ! I bought his mother there ! How could he...
But Ancel was a crafty man and he threatened the pig a third time.
-Tell me, scum, how have you met Edward !
-Oiiiiiiink !
