The Father Superior spoke a little sharply, and himself sat down in the wooden armchair he before had placed for his white guest. The three culprits stood in front of him on a dead level of iniquity. "You see, Father Brachet, Ol' Chief has been very ill " "I know.
He maketh her be set at meat, and much honour be done her. When the cloths were drawn, the Queen leadeth her into her chamber with the maidens, and maketh much joy of her. The brachet that was brought thither with the shield was lying on a couch of straw.
The damsel relateth to him the adventure of the heads that she carried and that were in the car, like as she did at the court of King Arthur, and of the shield and the brachet she had left there, but much it misliked Messire Gawain of the damsel that was afoot behind them. "Damsel," saith Messire Gawain, "Wherefore doth not this damsel that goeth afoot mount upon the car?"
Suddenly that solitary organ gleamed with self-justification. "Me bring fish to Father Brachet and to Mother Aloysius and the Sisters." Mac and the Colonel exchanged dark glances. "Do Mother Aloysius and the Sisters live where Father Brachet does?" "Father Brachet, and Father Wills, and Brother Paul, and Brother Etienne, all here." The native put two fingers on the floor.
To those stranger knights who for his love had crossed the sea in his quarrel, the king gave armour and destrier and golden ornaments, to their desire. Arthur divided amongst them freely of his wealth. He granted lordship and delights, greyhound and brachet, furred gown and raiment, beaker and hanap, sendal and signet, bhaut and mantle, lance and sword and quivers of sharp barbed arrows.

THEN the queen departed, but the brachet would not from him; and therewithal came King Mark, and the brachet set upon him, and bayed at them all. There withal Sir Andred spake and said: Sir, this is Sir Tristram, I see by the brachet. Nay, said the king, I cannot suppose that.
"What!" gasps the horrified Mac, "Father Brachet has got a family?" "Famly?" inquired Nicholas. "Kaiomi"; and he shook his head uncertainly. "You say Father Brachet has got boys, and" as though this were a yet deeper brand of iniquity "girls?" Nicholas, though greatly mystified, nodded firmly. "I suppose he thinks away off up here nobody will ever know. Oh, these Jesuits!"
"How many children has this shameless priest?" "Father Brachet, him got seventeen boys, and me no savvy how much girl twelve girl ... twenty girl ..." The Boy, who had been splitting with inward laughter, exploded at this juncture. "He keeps a native school, Mac." "Yes," says Nicholas, "teach boy make table, chair, potatoes grow all kinds. Sisters teach girl make dinner, wash all kinds.
Father Brachet was already there, with Father Wills and Brother Etienne; and, after a moment, in came Brother Paul, looking more waxen and aloof than ever, at the head of the school, the rear brought up by Brother Vincent and Henry. In a moment the little Mother Superior appeared, followed by two nuns, heading a procession of native women and girls.
Sir, said the elder, there came a white hart this way this day, and many hounds chased him, and a white brachet was alway next him, and we understood it was adventure made for the high feast of King Arthur, and therefore I would have gone after to have won me worship; and here my younger brother said he would go after the hart, for he was better knight than I: and for this cause we fell at debate, and so we thought to prove which of us both was better knight.
