Others who had come, and found that the stupor clung to her, had gone again. P'tit Maitre had been there, and with him Doctor Bonfils, who said that La Folle might die. But death had passed her by. The voice was very clear and steady with which she spoke to Tante Lizette, brewing her tisane there in a corner.
He was getting fearfully in debt; and debt is always a nightmare to a generous and upright mind. "Any pupils yet?" asked Monsieur Bonfils, meeting him, one day, in the street. "Not one!" said Salmon, with gloomy emphasis. "Ah, that is unfortunate!" He expected nothing less than that the Frenchman would add, "Then I must place my son elsewhere." But no; he was polite as ever; he was charming.
Dutch had a new rope in his hand with a loop at one end. He tossed it over the boy's head and drew it taut. Two or three of the faces in the circle were almost as bloodless as that of the prisoner, but they were set to see the thing out. "Will you tell now?" Bonfils asked. Curly met him eye to eye. "No." "Come along then." One of the men caught his arm at the place where he had been wounded.
There's nothing to this lynching game. He's only a kid." "He's not such a kid but what he can do murder," Dutch spat out. Kate read him the riot act so sharply that the little puncher had not another word to say. The tide of opinion was shifting. Those who had been worked up to the lynching by the arguments of Bonfils began to resent his activity. Flandrau was their prisoner, wasn't he?
Now, with his head upon the woman's shoulder, he moaned and wept with pain and fright. "Oh, La Folle! La Folle! it hurt so bad! I can' stan' it, La Folle!" "Don't cry, mon bebe, mon bebe, mon Cheri!" the woman spoke soothingly as she covered the ground with long strides. "La Folle goin' mine you; Doctor Bonfils goin' come make mon Cheri well agin." She had reached the abandoned field.
Bonfils, to the same effect. My crew seems to be in the right spirit, a quiet spirit of determination pervading both officers and men. The combat will no doubt be contested and obstinate; but the two ships are so equally matched, I do not feel at liberty to decline it. God defend the right, and have mercy upon the souls of those who fall, as many of us must!"
But Kate understood the boy's unspoken wish and nodded her head reassuringly as he left the room. Kite Bonfils and Maloney took Curly back to Saguache and turned him over to Sheriff Bolt. "How about bail?" Maloney asked. The sheriff smiled. He was a long lean leather-faced man with friendly eyes from which humorous wrinkles radiated. "You honing to go bail for him, Dick?" "How much?"
He was dignified enough, however, on entering the parlor, and so cool you would never have suspected that he almost felt his fate depending upon this gentleman's business. He was a Frenchman, polite, affable, and of a manner so gracious, you would have said he had come to beg a favor, rather than to grant one. "This is Mr. ? My name is Bonfils. This is my little boy.
In that room were some of the most callous hearts in the territory. Not one man in a million could have phased them, but this slender girl dumfounded them. Her gaze settled on Buck. His wandered for help to Sweeney, to Jake, to Kite Bonfils. "Now look-a-here, Miss Kate," Sweeney began to explain. But she swept his remonstrance aside. "No No No!"
