And this man is a stranger a barbarian food for the Shining One!" Literally, he spat the phrase. "No, not of our kind Lugur higher!" Yolara answered serenely. "Lo, a son of Siya and of Siyana!" "A lie!" roared the red dwarf. "A lie!" "The Shining One revealed it to me!" said Yolara sweetly. "And if ye believe not, Lugur go ask of the Shining One if it be not truth!"
Not long could we conjecture; Lakla broke the little silence. "This, they say, is what is to happen. First will come upon us Lugur and Yolara with all their host. Because of fear the Shining One will lurk behind within its lair; for despite all, the Dweller does dread the Three, and only them. With this host the Voice and the priestess will strive to conquer.
Around the jet table were grouped a number of figures Lugur, Yolara beside him; seven others all of them fair-haired and all men save one who sat at the left of the priestess an old, old woman, how old I could not tell, her face bearing traces of beauty that must once have been as great as Yolara's own, but now ravaged, in some way awesome; through its ruins the fearful, malicious gaiety shining out like a spirit of joy held within a corpse!
They put me in rooms, and there came to me men who rubbed and oiled me and loosened my muscles. The next day I wrestled with a great dwarf they called Valdor. He was a mighty man, and long we struggled, and at last I broke his back. And Lugur was pleased, so that I sat with him at feast and with the Russian, too. And again, not knowing that I understood them, they talked.
"It is well!" It was Lugur. "It is well, Yolara." It was a woman's voice, and I knew it for that old one of ravaged beauty. "Cast from your mind whatever is in it for this stranger either of love or hatred. In this the Council is with Lugur and the man of wisdom." There was a silence. Then came the priestess's voice, sullen but beaten. "It is well!"
Lugur hes been appointed by the Methodist Church, and there is the Conference behind the church, sir. I hev no doubt but what we shall hev to put up with the sulky beggar whether we want it or like it or not." "It would be a queer thing, Jonathan Greenwood, if John Hatton did not have influence enough to put a troubler of Hatton town out of it.
And there was so fierce a fire in the eyes of Lugur as he swung back upon us that O'Keefe's hand slipped stealthily down toward his pistol. "Best it is to speak truth to Yolara, priestess of the Shining One, and to Lugur, the Voice," he cried menacingly. "It is the truth," I interposed. "We came down the passage.
He loves her beyond everything." "I can believe that. I know a little of Ralph Lugur. He has been to see me twice about the children of the village." "He has them all at his beck and call. And Lucy, mother, she is so fair and sweet! If you could only see her!" "I have seen her." "Oh, mother dear, don't speak unkindly of her!"
Hatton who watched the midnight hours away in anxious thought and careful forebodings. She had not worried much about Harry's passion for Lucy Lugur. She was sure that his Mediterranean trip would introduce him to girls so much lovelier than Lucy that he would practically have forgotten her when he returned. Harry had been in love with half a dozen girls before Lucy.
I also should be much against her spending a year away from home. Oh, you know it is out of the question!" "I think mother will go. I shall ask her." "I wonder how you can find it in your heart to ask such a thing of her!" "Lucy Lugur, poor little girl, has no mother." "You cannot expect Mrs. Stephen Hatton to mother her." "Yes, I do.
