For the first time she blushed blushed until her face was like one of the wild roses in those prickly copses of the valley. And then he added: "You must not tell them too much at first, Marge. Remember that you were lost, and I found you. You must give me time to get acquainted with Hauck and Brokaw."
Here they found a copy of The Gospel Trumpet. As soon as they read The Trumpet, they knew where the Lord was leading them. They made their way to The Gospel Trumpet office, where Brother Murphy remained as a worker for two or three years and Brother Hauck for nearly ten years. Both are now ministers in this reformation.
It sent a mild sort of a shiver through him, and corroborated with rather disturbing emphasis what he had seen in the men's faces as he passed among them. "And Hauck wouldn't let them? Was that it?" he asked. She nodded, clutching a hand at her throat. "He told them to do nothing until he saw Brokaw. He wanted to be certain. And then...."
He thrust his huge shoulders and red face toward David, and in an instant there was a snarl on his thick lips. "Hauck said she didn't," he growled. "What do you think of that, Mac? said she didn't belong to me any more, an' I'd have to pay for her keep! Gawd, I did. I gave him a lot of gold!" "You were a fool," said David, trying to choke back his eagerness. "A fool!"
Hauck had purposely put him on parade, and there was a deep and sinister significance in the attitude of these men. They passed through the hall into which he and Marge had entered from the opposite side of the Nest, and Hauck paused at the door of a room almost opposite to the one which the girl had said belonged to her. "This will be your room while you are our guest," he said.
"If it were just Brokaw I wouldn't be afraid. I would let him catch me, and scream. Tara would kill him for me. But it's Hauck, too. And the others. They are worse since Nisikoos died. That is what I called her Nisikoos my aunt. They are all terrible, and they all frighten me, especially since they began to build a great cage for Tara. Why should they build a cage for Tara, out of small trees?
He felt like swearing as he thought of what he had missed that breakfast with Hauck and the Girl. He would undoubtedly have had an opportunity of seeing Hauck alone for a little while a quarter of an hour would have been enough; or he could have settled the whole matter in Marge's presence. He wondered where she was now. In her room?
Hauck says that my father and mother died of small-pox, before I could remember. It is all like a dream. I can see a woman's face sometimes, and I can remember a cabin, and snow, and lots of dogs. Are you ready to go?" He shouldered his pack, and as he arranged the straps Marge ran to Tara.
Hauck and Brokaw, unarmed with guns, were least dangerous just at present. He would get Brokaw with his fifth shot the sixth if he made a miss with the fifth. A thin strip of shale marked his 100-yard dead-line, and the instant Langdon set his foot on this David fired.
David could see their heads and shoulders and the gleam and faint puffs of their rifles, but he held his fire. Where were the other four, he wondered? Without doubt Hauck and Brokaw were now armed with the rifles of the men who had fallen, so he had six to deal with.
