"I mean that it might have been a life of Judas Iscariot." "Good God, man, are you joking?" ejaculated Effinghame. "I mean," sternly pursued Arn, "that if De Quincey had studied this identical fan, the opium-eater would have composed another gorgeous rhetorical plea for the man preëlected to betray his Saviour, the apostle who spilt the salt." He sat down and breathed heavily. "Go on! Go on!"
Yah may bend to th' yoak an ye will I noan used to 't, and an old man doesn't sooin get used to new barthens. I'd rayther arn my bite an' my sup wi' a hammer in th' road! 'Now, now, idiot! interrupted Heathcliff, 'cut it short! What's your grievance? I'll interfere in no quarrels between you and Nelly. She may thrust you into the coal-hole for anything I care.
When there came to be a question whether he could walk, he laughed the difficulty to scorn in his quiet way. "Why shouldn't I walk it? Ain't I got to 'arn my bread every day?" It was ten o'clock when they reached the mill, and Mrs. Brattle, not expecting them at that hour, was in bed. But Fanny was up, and did what she could to comfort them. But no one could ever comfort old Brattle.
It is inscribed on the other side of the fan." Effinghame's features lengthened. "Still the same fan." "The same. Here is what it prophesies." Reversing the clumsy fan, Arn again read: Before I pass over into Nirvana I must relate what I saw in the country of the Christians. It was not a dream. It was too real. And yet it is to be, for it has not yet happened.
"Do you tink, sar, dat a genlmn, dat fight in de Resolutionary war, and gib one leg, dat you may stand on two free leg, hab no feeling ob honor? Beside, dis old soger don't want no bread he don't arn." "Well, I'll make a bargain with you, that if we don't catch Holden, you shan't have anything. That horse is soon curried." "Ah, dat won't do. My time is precious, and de hire is wordy ob de laborer.
There's mighty little squared timber coming out this winter." "I'm ready and willing to work, boss, but I'm fit to arn thirty dollars, surely." "So you are, so you are, in good times, neighbor, and I'd be glad if men's wages were forty. That could only be with trade active, and a fine season for all of us; but I couldn't take out a raft this winter, and pay what you ask." "I'd work extra hard.
But come, let us begone, and see this moral family, we shall meet them coming from the field, and you will see a man who was once in affluence, maintaining by hard labor a numerous family. "Arn. Oh! Thornhill, can you wish to add infamy to their poverty?
But I do know that this fan contains on one side of it the most extraordinary revelation ever vouchsafed mankind, particularly Christian mankind." Excited by his own words, Arn arose. "Effinghame, my dear fellow, I know you have read Renan. If Renan had seen the communication on this iron fan, he would have never written his life of the Messiah." His eyes blazed. "Why, what do you mean?"
In a letter from a friend whom I have never seen, one of those that read my books, this line was quoted "But he, he never came to Carcassonne." I do not know the origin of the line, but I made this tale about it. When Camorak reigned at Arn, and the world was fairer, he gave a festival to all the weald to commemorate the splendour of his youth.
When they had marched so far that they heard no sound from Arn, and even inaudible were her swinging bells, when candles burning late far up in towers no longer sent them their disconsolate welcome; in the midst of the pleasant night that lulls the rural spaces, weariness came upon Arleon and his inspiration failed. It failed slowly. Gradually he grew less sure of the way to Carcassonne.
