An ugly mood came on him, the force that had made him what he was filled all his senses. He straightened himself; contempt of the Ishmael showed at his lips. "I think you lie, Jethro Fawe," he said quietly, and his eyes were hard and piercing. "Gabriel Druse's daughter is not never was any wife of yours. She never called you husband. She does not belong to the refuse of the world."
As fishing was the friend of thinking, therefore he fished in Seely's Eddy, saw Fleda Druse run the Carillon Rapids, saved her from drowning, and would have brought her in pride and peace to her own home, but that she decreed otherwise. Gabriel Druse's house stood on a little knoll on the outskirts of the town of Manitou, backed by a grove of pines.
He had walked many miles, but there was still a spring to his step and he hummed an air with his shoulders thrown back and his hat on the back of his head. He had had his shooting, he had done his thinking, and he was pleased with himself. He had shaped his homeward course so that it would bring him near to Gabriel Druse's house.
"It smells quite powerful, does'nt it?" she said. "It has something in it to keep it, you know. It's very unpleasant to take," she added, rolling up her brown eyes to Druse's compassionate face.
There the sainted pioneer expressed the feeling of the moment when he raised his hands in benediction over them and said: "Peace be unto you and the blessings of peace; and the Lord make his face to shine upon you and give you peace now and for ever more." Before sunset, as Ingolby had promised, he made his way towards Gabriel Druse's house.
"Ingolby steady there, Ingolby !" he called. "Steady! Steady! Gabriel Druse is here. It's all right." At the first sound of Druse's voice the two wreckers turned and ran. As they did so, Ingolby's hands fell to his side, and he staggered forward. "Druse Fleda," he murmured, then swayed, trembled and fell. With words that stuck in his throat Gabriel Druse stooped and lifted him up in his arms.
She was in the arms of a Gorgio of Lebanon Ingolby is his name." A malediction burst from Gabriel Druse's lips, words sharp and terrible in their intensity. For the first time since they had met the young man blanched. The savage was alive in the giant. "Speak. Tell all," Druse said, with hands clenching.
Something very like a sigh of relief came from Gabriel Druse's lips, but the anger in his face did not pass, and a rigid pride made the distance between them endless. He looked like a patriarch giving judgment as he raised his hand and pointed with a menacing finger at Jethro Fawe, his Romany subject and, according to the laws of the Romany tribes, his son-in-law.
That's why I'm putting my horses and my land and my pants and my shirt and the buff that's underneath on the little preelate." Gabriel Druse's face did not indicate the same confidence. "It is not an age of miracles; the priest is not enough," he said sceptically.
The untended, unguarded fire may spread devastation and ruin, following with angry freedom the marching feet of those who builded it. "Yes, you've got to put out your fires when you quit the bivouac," continued Ingolby aloud, as he gazed ahead of him through the opening greenery, beyond which lay Gabriel Druse's home.
