The boy regarded his interrogator with a look that plainly denoted ignorance of his meaning. "I would know what thou canst leave with me, to show that our eyes shall again look upon thy face, when we have opened the gate for thy passage into the fields." Still the gaze of the other was wondering and confused.
Accustomed, like all of that region, and more especially in that age, to calculate his chances of success warily, before venturing to disburden his mind, the monk fastened a penetrating look on his interrogator. "Illustrious prince," he said, "we come petitioners for justice. They who are thus commissioned had need be bold, lest they do their own character, and their righteous office, discredit."
I gave this primitive kind of hieroglyph to my interrogator, who, after inspecting it gravely, handed it to his next neighbour, and it thus passed round the group.
The ill-favored mother was not, therefore, in any way bound to answer this somewhat abrupt question; but, observing the appearance of high gentility, and touched by the engaging manner of the interrogator, she answered, that her appetite had of late been uncertain, and that she was endeavoring to restore it by a little wholesome exercise.
And without further ado, Bryce strode to meet his man. "Are you Jules Rondeau?" he demanded as he came up to the woods-boss. The latter nodded. "I'm Bryce Cardigan," his interrogator announced, "and I'm here to thrash you for chopping that big redwood tree over in that little valley where my mother is buried." "Oh!" Rondeau smiled. "Wiz pleasure, M'sieur."
He swung about upon Galloway. "Now," he said quickly, "who fired the first shot. Galloway?" Galloway smiled, went to his bar, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and standing there, the glass twisting slowly in his fingers, stared back innocently at his interrogator. "Trying the case already, Judge Norton?" he inquired equably. "Will you answer?" Norton said coolly. "Sure."
"Milimach," said he, "would have taken a scalp from a sleeping man, but he has to thank the white youth that his own is still upon his head. Milimach has disobeyed the Miko." "Are you the Miko?" cried Hodges "the Miko of the Oconees?" The old man fixed his calm and penetrating look upon his interrogator, and replied with much dignity, "My young brother has said it.
The boy gazed at the rigid and austere countenance of his interrogator, while the words were issuing from his lips; but, the instant they ceased, his searching and quick eye rolled over the different curious faces by which he was hemmed in, as if he trusted more to the sense of sight than that of hearing, for the information he naturally sought concerning his future lot.
Wynne seemed startled, and turned his clear eyes full upon his interrogator, seeking the hidden meaning. "Yes, but " he began slowly. "That's true, isn't it?" demanded the chief, with quick violence. "Yes, that's true," Mr. Wynne admitted calmly. "Therefore, indirectly, it would have been to your advantage if Mr. Kellner had died or had been killed?"
A kind of laugh for laugh absolute it was not rattled under the cowl of the tall stranger, as he drew it still closer over his face, with a hand that might have spanned the breast of his interrogator, and he made a gesture as if he did not understand the question addressed to him. Pray you, is it the Saxon custom to enter a king's hall so garbed, and drink a knight's wine so mutely?"
