Now inasmuch as Bourke was never wide-awake at that hour, and always after acknowledging Marcel's "bon jour" rolled over and snored for Glory and the Saints, it was against human nature to resist the allure of that dressing-table. Marcel seldom departed without a coin or two.
She had no desire to deny him. He seemed to have robbed her of all will of her own. His will had become wholly her desire. She took her seat on the tree-trunk, just removed from his side by a rift in the great log which was hidden under a growth of lichen. Marcel's eyes sought hers. But she had turned from him. She was gazing out at the moose head set up over the gorge.
Steve nodded. His eyes were very tender, and their smile was the smile he always held for the boy who had now become a man. "It'll be fall early fall. We can't start out too early, but it mustn't be till the dopers are asleep. You see, we've got to leave An-ina behind without a soul to protect her." "Yes." Marcel's happy eyes shadowed. But they brightened at once. "Couldn't we leave Julyman?
There was a quick glance of responsive eagerness in Marcel's eyes. Well enough he knew the store had been built for one purpose only. He had long since dubbed it "The Poison House." Steve's words meant It had a long low interior, with a heavily raftered roof, and an earthen floor.
If mother lives, things'll just go on the same. If she doesn't? She and I we got it fixed. I hit right out for myself as we've planned it that's all." But the hot blood had mounted to Marcel's head. "It's not!" he cried with startling force. "D'you think you're going out of my life that way? You?" Suddenly he broke into a laugh that echoed down the gorge. He pointed out at the moose head.
It was Marcel, and this girl with the Indian name of "Keeko." The thought was in his mind now. He was uneasy. The whole possibility of Marcel's encountering such a woman in Unaga had seemed so absurdly remote. A white girl! And yet An-ina had assured him it was true, and the manner of her assurance left it impossible for him to doubt. Who was this Keeko?
That's where these darn old walls of rock fade right out, and make way for a lake that's like a sea." It was his undisturbed confidence that broke the constant threat of imagination. This north country was Marcel's home. He knew no other. So they drove on, and on, to the goal that he had set. The great rapids came at them as he had promised.
You hear, Monsieur le Curé? The papas; that is what annoys you. Papa Durand. Here! cried a voice of thunder from the bottom of the stair-case, and it resounded in Marcel's ears like the trumpet of the last judgment. Pale and terrified, he questioned Veronica with his eyes. It is he, she said, hurrying to the landing-place. "For her, for her I will drink the cup to the dregs."
Each had his own place in the simple room which Marcel's father had dedicated to the science which had been his whole life. For him it had been all sufficient. The storming of the elements outside might have been the breathlessness of a tropical climate so far as he cared, once absorbed in the studies that claimed him.
Oolak was bringing in his train, with its five powerful dogs. Julyman with a club was busy, with little Marcel's assistance, beating off the ferocious welcome of dogs of the post. For a moment he watched the boy's amazing efforts. Then as the tumult subsided he turned again to the patient woman awaiting his verdict. "You're a good woman, An-ina," he said simply.
