The old ape-face, which had lurked in my memory ever since the time I first saw him, came out so plainly that I started: the child had read his face aright! the following judgment of the man had been wrong! the child's fear had not imprinted a false eidolon upon the growing brain. 'What right had, you, he said, 'to bring me all this way for such tomfoolery?
This is he, with the old ape-face renewed by paint, whom we once saw marching with an "Army of Redemption," haggling in the Passes about Eger, unable to redeem Belleisle; marching and haggling, more lately, with a "Middle-Rhine Army," and the like non-effect; since which, fighting his best in Italy, pushed home last winter, with Browne's bayonets in his back; Belleisle succeeding him in dealing with Browne.
Then fair into a jabbering ape-face he flung the bloodstained barrel. The face fell, faded, vanished, as hideous illusions fade in a dream. And Stern, with a strength he never dreamed was his, caught up the fainting girl in his left arm, as easily as though she had been a child. Still dragging the spear which pierced his right his right that yet protected her a little he ran.
You may say I have nothing to lose. Give me the boy, and I'll bring him up like my own son; send him to school and college, too all on the chance of being repaid twice over by I knew this was all a trick to get hold of my skin. The man said it on his way to the door, his ape-face shining dim as he turned it a little back in the direction of my uncle, who followed with the candle.
