I do not know what has occurred, but something must have happened." These words, uttered with deep and inconsolable sweetness, and with a sigh which Gwynplaine heard, wound up thus, "I must go, unless he should return." Ursus muttered gloomily: "I do not believe in ghosts." He went on, "This is a ship. You ask why the house moves; it is because we are on board a vessel.
"Hum!" cried Ursus, and he turned away, his scolding melting into a smile. The wolf supped under the table, heedless of everything which did actually not concern his bone. Fibi and Vinos shared the repast, but gave little trouble. These vagabonds, half wild and as uncouth as ever, spoke in the gipsy language to each other. At length Dea re-entered the women's apartment with Fibi and Vinos.
This was right enough. Ursus belonged to no gang. Ursus lived with Ursus, a tête-
A serpent issues from its hole with similar precautions. The torch threw out their profiles and attitudes into relief. Fierce looks, sullen attitudes. Ursus recognized the faces of the police who had that morning carried off Gwynplaine. There was no doubt about it. They were the same. They were reappearing. Of course, Gwynplaine would also reappear.
"And that is proper. There is no more grievous crime than murder. I will pray for thee; but I know not if even my prayer can be effective, unless thou make a vow never to touch any one in life with a finger." "As it is, I have not killed purposely," answered Ursus. But Chilo, who desired to secure himself in every case, did not cease to condemn murder, and urge Ursus to make the vow.
To North America, I suppose?" "By no means. There is a bear in the Pyrenees, and other mountains of Spain in the Asturias especially. It is also deemed by most naturalists to be only a variety of the ursus arctos, but it is certainly a distinct species; and papa thinks so. Some naturalists would have it that there are only three or four distinct species in the whole world.
On their way over the Rocky Mountains, they would be certain to fall in with the grizzly; and in the countries lying along the Pacific, they could obtain that variety of the ursus americanus, known as the "cinnamon bear" for it is to the west of the Rocky Mountains in California, Oregon, British Columbia, and Russian America that this spice-coloured species is most frequently met with.
It was likely that no one would attack them; if attacked, they would say that a hostage was fleeing from Cæsar. Vinicius would declare himself then to the guards, and summon their assistance. Ursus was almost entering the little house, when the sound of steps attracted his attention; he halted, and, seeing two persons, put his sieve on the balustrade and turned to them.
Such as you see me, I have never wept. It must be owned that I have never been satisfied never satisfied not even with myself. I despise myself; but I submit this to the members of the opposition here present if Ursus is only a learned man, Gwynplaine is an artist." He groaned again, "Grumphll!" And resumed, "Grumphll again! it is an objection. All the same, I pass it over.
Ursus made a proper bow that is to say, bowed to the ground; and knowing that bears are charmed by honey, and doctors by Latin, he said, keeping his body still bent respectfully, "Tres faciunt capitulum!" Each of the three doctors had before him a bundle of papers, of which he was turning the leaves. Minos began. "You speak in public?" "Yes," replied Ursus. "By what right?" "I am a philosopher."
