But now we will gang to the Interpreter's house, for I ken a man that will play the Interpreter right weel; for he has eyes lifted up to Heaven, the best of books in his hand, the law of truth written on his lips, and he stands as if he pleaded wi' men Oh, if I had minded what he had said to me, I had never been the cutaway creature that I am! But it is all over now.
The deil settle ye doun, if ye dinna rise and come into the Interpreter's house, that's the house of God, wi' me, but I'll rive every dud aft your back!" She adapted the action to the phrase; for with one clutch she stripped Jeanie of her straw bonnet and a handful of her hair to boot, and threw it up into an old yew-tree, where it stuck fast.
The children gazed in open-mouthed wonder. The car drew nearer, and they saw, behind the dignified personality at the wheel, a lady who might well have been the beautiful princess of the Interpreter's fairy tale. Little Maggie caught her brother's arm. "Bobby! It's it's her it's the princess lady herself." "Gee!" gasped the boy. "She's a slowin' down what d'yer "
He replied that she would know all about it soon enough, and he accompanied the interpreter's repetition of the answer with threatening gestures.
So with my reasonably good head and his very good legs we make a fairly good man, you see." Bobby laughed aloud and even wee Maggie chuckled at the Interpreter's quaint explanation of himself and Billy Rand. "Funny kind of a man," said Bobby. "Yes," agreed the Interpreter, "but most of us men are funny in one way or another aren't we, Maggie?"
This she set herself seriously to peel, and when it was transformed into such a wand as the Treasurer or High Steward bears on public occasions, she told Jeanie that she thought they now looked decent, as young women should do upon the Sunday morning, and that, as the bells had done ringing, she was willing to conduct her to the Interpreter's house.
He lights the fire and puts everything shipshape, and then leaves me in peace till morning. But Jim himself, who is doing interpreter's work in France, has run back for the day on business. He is with some War Office chaps for the evening, but any time after twelve o'clock I expect him back to stay the night. You must be gone before then, so you see we have twenty minutes at most."
'One leak will sink a ship, he said that night, 'and one sin will destroy a sinner. And all their days the pilgrims remembered that word from the Interpreter's lips, and they often said it to themselves as they thought of their own besetting sin.
And, then, the Interpreter's life was as full of work as his house was of entertainment and instruction. Not only so, but his life, it was well known, had been quite as full of work before he had a house to work for as ever it had been since.
And yet, something deep within her something more potent in its authority than the conventionalities that had so far ruled her life assured her that she had the right to be there. "I I called to see Bobby and Maggie," she faltered. "I met them, you know, at the Interpreter's."
