Yet, so inconsistent is poor humanity that self-exculpation warred with self-condemnation in the same brain! The miserable man would have given all he possessed to have been able to persuade himself that his act was purely one of self-defence as no doubt to some extent it was, for if he had not fired first Perrin's action showed that he would certainly have been the man-slayer.
Bring more lint! Silence, women! Why so many cries and lamentations?" He ordered his wife to go in search of a little pot of marvelous unguent treasured up ever since the times of his glorious father, the formidable man-slayer accustomed to wounds. And when the mother, astounded at these abrupt orders, started to join Margalida in search of the remedy, her husband called her back to the bedside.
Only the Governor, the fine young Governor, I deliver'd him the message, told him my mind and the like. Jul. So kind to visit us, and have you sent him away already? Fran. Ah, Witch; already! why, have I any lodging for him? Jul. But I am glad you brought him not in, I being so unready. Fran. But you are always ready for him, my dear victorious Man-slayer. Jul.
Don Jaime must be more careful; he must lock the door of his tower and pay no attention to calls from outside after dark. Surely the man-slayer would try to induce him to come out by challenging cries, with howls of defiance. "If you hear any cries of challenge during the night, Don Jaime, you must keep still.
Febrer received this news, to which the Little Chaplain attached great importance, with a gesture of indifference. What of that?

Pepet shook his head incredulously. "Be careful, Don Jaime!
In the mind of the young savage, astute and sagacious, a suspicion tad gradually assumed the reality of fact. On entering the tower he immediately communicated his thoughts to Don Jaime. Whom did he imagine had conceived the offensive song? The Minstrel? No, señor; it was the Ironworker! The Minstrel had made the rhymes, but the theme originated with the malicious man-slayer.
Other homicides' hands are stained, but yours are steeped in blood. To your knees, MAN-slayer! I dare not promise you that a life given to penitence and charity will save so foul a soul, but it may, for Heaven's mercy is infinite. Seize on that small chance. Seize it like one who feels Satan clutching him and dragging him down to eternal flames. Life is short, eternity is close, judgment is sure.
To speak of one's emotions without fear or moral ambition, to come out from under the shadow of other men's minds, to forget their needs, to be utterly oneself, that is all the Muses care for. Villon, pander, thief, and man-slayer, is as immortal in their eyes, and illustrates in the cry of his ruin as great a truth as Dante in abstract ecstasy, and touches our compassion more.
And this was the creation to which Lee Haines had to listen, impatient, sifting the chaff from the grains of truth. Down upon Alder, exactly at midnight, had ridden a cavalcade headed by that notorious, half-legendary man-slayer, Dan Barry Whistling Dan.
"My brother will bring me a shawl, and then I shall need nothing else." "But may I sit by you, mademoiselle?" It was Angélique Saucier leaning down to make this request, but Peggy Morrison laughed. "I warn you against Angélique, Miss Jones. She is the man-slayer of Kaskaskia. They all catch her like measles.
