You pray for a chance, any chance; nothing comes to the poor! It makes you hate the world." Christian's eyes filled with tears. He went on: "But I wasn't the only one in that condition; we used to meet. Garin, a Russian with a brown beard and patches of cheek showing through, and yellow teeth, who always looked hungry. Paunitz, who came from sympathy!
They told him then that the lordship of the wood was with Fromont and that he must go with them, as their prisoner, to Lens. "Very well," said Bego. "I will go with you. If I have done aught of wrong to Fromont the old, I am willing to make it right with him. My brother Garin, the Lorrainer, and King Pepin, will go my surety."
It was a strong tonic, and it put the dear boy on his feet for a week or two; then he lost flesh again. I asked a man I knew to take him up to the Hills with him when he went, and the man came to the door with his kit packed on the top of the carriage. Garin took in the situation at one red glance.
Several years since?" "Y-yes. Certainly. At Trouville." "You are friends of my countryman, Emile Garin, are you not?" he pursued in his phraseology of extreme precision, with only the faint echo of an accent. "Who?" I said. "Oh, Plooie, you mean. Friends? Well, acquaintances would be more accurate." "He tells me that you, Monsieur, befriended him when he had great need of friends.
It calmed him to make the routine check of his dials. "Strapdown check," said a Lhari with a yellowed crest and a rasping voice. "New man, eh?" He gave Bart's straps perfunctory tugs at shoulders and waist, tightened a buckle. "Karol son of Garin." Bells rang in the ship, and Bart felt the odd, tonic touch of fear. This was it.
There was a river to be forded, and four bullocks pulled the carriage, and Vixen stuck her head out of the sliding-door and nearly fell into the water while she gave directions. Garin was silent and curious, and rather needed reassuring about Stanley and Kasauli. So we rolled, barking and yelping, into Kalka for lunch, and Garm ate enough for two.
We came to Umballa in the hot misty dawn, four or five men, who had been working hard fox eleven months, shouting for our dales the two-horse travelling carriages that were to take us up to Kalka at the foot of the Hills. It was all new to Garm. He did not understand carriages where you lay at full length on your bedding, but Vixen knew and hopped into her place at once; Garin following.
"But, name of a name! you are not fit to ride," Garin protested. La Boulaye, however, would listen to no reason. With the recovery of his faculties came the consideration of how miserably Suzanne had duped him, and of how she had dealt with him when he had overtaken her. He burned now to be avenged, and at all costs he would ride after and recapture her.
He was arrested. It did not matter. Nothing mattered except that he should reach Belgium. And he did reach my country at the darkest hour, the time when Belgium needed every man, no matter who he was. But he could not be a soldier, the little Garin, because he was unable to march. He had weak legs." At this point the eternal feminine asserted itself in the Bonnie Lassie.
Besides these were seventeen others, named Caval, Columbel, Cormeilles, Crotoy, Duchemin, Dubesert, Garin, Gastinel, Ledoux, Leroy, Maguerie, Manzier, Morel, Morellet, Pinchon, Saulx, and Pasquier de Vaux, who became Bishop of Meaux, Evreux, and Lisieux. In all, nine-and-twenty canons of Rouen.
