In His patient long-suffering He will give His fellow-villagers another chance; and His heart yearns for 'His own country, and 'His own kin, and 'His own house, of which He speaks so pathetically in the context. Observe the characteristic avoidance of display, and the regard for existing means of worship, shown in His waiting till the Sabbath, and then resorting to the synagogue.
Can we doubt that he said, in substance if not in actual words: "As this man has arisen from the grave, so you must also arise from your old childish life of amusement and self-gratification and, ENTER INTO the life of the tribe, the life of the Spirit of the tribe." Every night his fellow-villagers will go out in search parties to find him. They cry out Yi!
The fellow had evidently succeeded in finding the amethyst and dislodging it from its matrix, for when next the elfin light gleamed forth it was seen to come from a point far down the cliff, not more than a hundred feet above the tide. Here it had been found by Pierrot Desbarats, who, laughing to scorn the superstitious fears of his fellow-villagers, had brought it home in triumph.
The sickness killed him, and thus the avenging spirit was not able to tear him in pieces. A man whose name was Artuk had buried his wife, but refused to remain aloof from doings which those who have been busied with the dead are forbidden to share. He said he did not hold by such old customs. Some of his fellow-villagers were at work cutting up frozen meat for food.
But when he came back to his own place, his fellow-villagers asked: "Wherever did you get all this?" "An umiak started out on a journey, and the people in it were hurried and forgetful. Here are some things which they left behind them." Towards evening a number of kayaks came in sight; it was people coming on a visit, and they had all brought meat with them.
There's a large French party, sir, in Canada, that's opposed to the priests and in favor of annexation." He satisfied the colonel's utmost curiosity, discoursing, as he drove by the log-built cottages which were now and then sheathed in birch-bark, upon the local affairs, and the character and history of such of his fellow-villagers as they met.
Before the child was three months old, his father died; and Janet Telford was left alone in the world with her unweaned baby. But in remote country districts, neighbours are often more neighbourly than in great towns; and a poor widow can manage to eke out a livelihood for herself with an occasional lift from the helping hands of friendly fellow-villagers.
He could never sleep well at night, and being sleepless, he always woke his fellow-villagers when they were to go out hunting in the morning. But he never brought home anything himself. One day when he had been out as usual in his kayak, without even sight of a seal, he said: "It is no use my trying to be a hunter, for I never catch anything. I may as well make up some lie or other."
Pierre was warmly greeted by his fellow-villagers, all of whom had evidently worked themselves up into something like enthusiasm for their undertaking. Of the regular French soldiery there were none about. Not even a sentry was to be seen.
She was a simple country thing, who would never be a prima donna; but the overflowing sentimentality which enabled her to accept herself at the estimate of her enthusiastic fellow-villagers made her of far greater comfort to Marcia than the sublimest musical genius would have done.
