"But you see," said Pierre, "the Caliban stays at Fort o' God." "You've got a Christian heart in you, so help me, Heaven!" replied the other. "No, sir, we give him a chance, and his Maker too for that matter, to show what He's willing to do for His misfits." Pretty Pierre rejoined, "Well, I have thought. The game is all against Grah if he go; but there are two who stay at Fort o' God."
"People may love their childhre as much as they plase, Kathleen, if they don't let their grah for them spoil the crathurs, by givin' them their own will, till they become headstrong an' overbearin'. Now, let my linen be as white as a bone before Monday, plase goodness; I hope, by that time, that Jack Dogherty will have my new clo'es made; for I intind to go as dacent as ever they seen me in my best days."
And the Idiot, seeing, rose and sidled towards him, and said: "Poor Grah want pipe bubble bubble." Then a light of childish cunning came into his eyes, and he touched the bullets blunderingly, and continued: "Plenty, plenty b'longs Grah give poor Grah pipe plenty, plenty, give you these." And Pretty Pierre after a moment replied: "So that's it, Grah? you've got bullets stowed away?
Pierre watched them for a time; and, seeing that they made no further move, retired into the store, where the Idiot muttered and was happy after his kind. "Grah got pipe blow away blow away to Annie pretty soon." "Yes, Grah, there's chance enough that you'll blow away to Annie pretty soon," remarked the other.
"I think I always did a little, from the time you stayed with Grah the idiot at Fort o' God, and fought the Indians when the others left. Only men said bad things of you, and my father did not like you, and you spoke so little to me ever. Yet I mind how you used to sit and watch me, and I also mind when you rode the man down who stole my pony, and brought them both back."
An' I hope, Connor, it's not for her money that you have any grah for her?" "You may swear that, mother; I love her little finger betther than all the money in the king's bank." "Connor, avich, your mother has made a fool of you, or you wouldn't spake the nonsense you spoke this minute." "My word to you, father, I'll take all the money I'll get; but what am I to do?
Whip in the dogs, Baptiste, and be ready all of you at midnight." "And Grah the Idiot what of him"? asked Pretty Pierre. "He'll have to take his chance. If he can travel with us, so much the better for him"; and the Factor shrugged his shoulders. "If not, so much the worse, eh"? returned Pretty Pierre. "Work the sum out to suit yourself. We've got our necks to save.
But the other goeth at a different time " At this point the light in Pretty Pierre's hand flickered and went out, and through the darkness there came a voice, the voice of an idiot, that whimpered: "Grah want pipe Annie, Annie dead." The angel of wisdom was gone, and chaos spluttered on the lolling lips again; the Idiot sat feeling for the pipe that he had dropped.
