It's like a baby's, me breath is, milk and honey it is aw yis; an' Father Corraine, that was doin' the trick for the love o' God, says he to me, 'Little Tim Macavoy, aw yis, little Tim Macavoy, says he, 'when are you goin' to buckle to, for the love o' God? says he.
These he said at first softly to himself, but unconsciously his voice became louder, so that the girl heard, and she said: "Father Corraine, what are those words? I do not understand them, but they sound comforting." And he, waking from his dream, changed the Latin into English, and said: "'For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunter, and from the sharp sword.
'Ay, little Tim Macavoy, he says, says he, 'you've bin 'atin' the husks av idleness long enough; when are you goin' to buckle to? You had a kingdom and ye guv it up, says he; 'take a field, get a plough, and buckle to, says he, 'an' turn back no more' like that, says Father Corraine; and I thinkin' all the time 'twas the want o' me belt he was drivin' at."
Well, I have said that I should never be sent to gaol, and I never shall; but I do not wish to die at this moment, and I do not wish to fight. What is there left?" "How do you come here, Pierre?" He lifted his eyes heavily to Mary Callen, and she told Father Corraine what had been told her.
I'll take the wrong of this now, sir, and such shame as there is in that falsehood on my shoulders. And she here and I, and this man too, I doubt not, will carry your sin as you call it to our graves, without shame." Father Corraine shook his head sadly, and made no reply, for his soul was heavy. He motioned them all to sit down.
"Pardon! . . . Pardon!" he faintly cried in apology, and put it to his mouth. Then he fell backwards in the arms of Soldier Joe, who wiped a moisture from the lifeless cheek as he laid the body on a bed. In a corner of the stained handkerchief they found the word, Blanche. Father Corraine stood with his chin in his hand and one arm supporting the other, thinking deeply.
Father Corraine also, who sometimes stepped across the dark threshold of Gaspard's hut, would have, for the man's soul's sake, dug out the heart of his secret; but Gaspard, open with food, fire, blanket, and tireless attendance, closed like the doors of a dungeon when the priest would have read him. At the name of good Ste.
The mother came to her husband's arms, laughing and weeping, and an instant afterwards was pouring out her love and anxiety over her child. Father Corraine now faced the man, and with a soft exaltation of voice and manner, said: "John Bagot, in the name of Christ, I demand twenty years of your life of love and obedience of God.
Father Corraine stood painfully staring at the figure for a moment, and then the words broke from him "Not dead not dead wonderful!" Then he stepped quickly to a table, took therefrom a pannikin of water, and kneeling, held it to the lips of the gasping figure of a woman, throwing his arm round the shoulder, and supporting the head on his breast. Again he spoke "Alive alive! Blessed be Heaven!"
One by one the troopers rode through the faint belt of light that stretched from the door, and were lost in the darkness, the thud of their horses' hoofs echoing behind them. But a change had come over Corporal Shon McGann. He looked at Father Corraine with concern and perplexity. He alone of those who were there had caught the unreal note in the proceedings.
