He may travel in a Hindu gown or a Mongolian tunic, or he comes, like Father Brachet, out of his vineyards in 'the pleasant land of France, or, like you, out of a country where all problems are to be solved by machinery. But my point is, they come! When all the other armies of the world are disbanded, that army, my son, will be still upon the march."
But new and stranger adventures awaited him, for he was now coming into a land of enchantment, where more than mere strength would be needed. What he saw, after he had ridden long and far, was a black brachet, which was coursing as if in the track of a hurt deer; but he quickly perceived that the dog was upon a trail of fresh blood.
Sir," saith she, "Do you remember you of the brachet you had at the court waiting for you until such time as you should come for the shield, and that went away with you, how he would never make joy nor know any save me alone? By this know I well that if you knew the soreness of our need you would succour us. But King Arthur, that should have prayed you thereof, forgat it."
"They make them to sell," was the answer, and the transaction was soon effected. "It has stopped snowing and ze wind is fallen," said Father Brachet, going to the reception-room window an hour or so after they had come in from dinner. The Colonel exchanged looks with the Boy, and drew out his watch. "Later than I thought." "Much," the Colonel agreed, and sat considering, watch in hand.
And thereupon Isoud fell down in a swoon, and so lay a great while And when she might speak she said: My lord Sir Tristram, blessed be God ye have your life, and now I am sure ye shall be discovered by this little brachet, for she will never leave you.
The griffons love her as much as one beast may love another, and shall have such joy and such desire to play with the brachet that they will leave you alone, and have such good will toward you that they will not look at you after to do you any hurt.
"I suppose," he said severely, "you could even make a hero out of that hang-dog Brother Etienne." "No, but he could do something else, for he's served in the French army." "Then there's that mad Brother Paul. What good would he be at anything else?" "Well, I don't know." "Brachet and Wills are decent enough men, but where else would they have the power and the freedom they have at Holy Cross?
One of the Indians had run on to announce them, and as they drew up at the door that the Boy remembered as a frame for Brother Paul, with his lamp, to search out iniquity, and his face of denunciation out came Father Brachet, brisk, almost running, his two hands outstretched, his face a network of welcoming wrinkles. No long waiting, this time, in the reception-room.
Father Roget sang, also in French, explaining himself with a humourous skill in pantomime that set the room in a roar. "Well," said the Colonel when he stood up to say good-night, "I haven't enjoyed an evening so much for years." "It is very early still," said Father Brachet, wrinkling up his face in a smile. "Ah, but we have to make such an early start."
But anon as Sir Tor espied the white brachet, he took her by force and took her to the dwarf. What, will ye so, said the lady, take my brachet from me? Yea, said Sir Tor, this brachet have I sought from King Arthur's court hither. Well, said the lady, knight, ye shall not go far with her, but that ye shall be met and grieved.
