A week after this festivity Marcel learned in what gallery his picture had found a place. Passing along the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, he stopped in the midst of a crowd that seemed to be staring at a sign newly placed above a shop. This sign was none other than Marcel's painting, which had been sold by Medicis to a dealer in provisions.
Tell me how you came, and all that happened. And the things that happened to you, I reckon, interest me a heap more than this talk of murder." The easy assurance of Marcel's manner sobered the girl's alarm. She yielded herself at his bidding, and sat beside him with her clasped hand resting in one of his.
And her woman's heart and mind had read Cy Allshore to the dregs of what she believed was an infamous heart. Steve knew the danger of accepting her story without reserve. He was convinced of her sincerity. It would have been impossible to doubt. But The sound of little Marcel's piping voice reached them from the outside. Steve turned and glanced out of the window.
And now now this great last enterprise is coming along, why, it just leaves me proud thinking that you couldn't listen to the yarn of it, even, without reckoning to be on the outfit yourself. I'm glad just glad." Marcel's eyes shone. Steve's approval, unqualified, was something he had not hoped for. He had been prepared to battle for his rights as a man, and now now the wonder of it.
Then, without knowing whether or not I had been successful, I proceeded to signal the following message: "La Mouette, slaver, armed with fourteen 28-pound carronades and four 6-pounders. Carries one hundred and seventy men. Attack with your long thirty-two; boats too risky!" Then, donning my jacket again, I returned inboard just in time to see Marcel's head appear above the level of the poop.
Marcel go! Bring this white girl. But Marcel say, 'No. Uncle Steve not come back. An-ina alone. Oh, no. Marcel go bimeby. Then An-ina say, 'Go. She know. Him all sick for Keeko. So. Marcel go." An-ina's low, gentle laugh came straight from the woman in her. Just as her account of Marcel's reluctance to leave her was a touch of the mother defending her offspring. But Steve missed these things.
In the reaction from his disappointment Marcel's generous nature asserted itself. He saw himself at last admitted to that which he considered the work of manhood. And he sought to embrace it all. "But you, Uncle," he cried earnestly. "Is there need? Why should you have to go on? Think of all you've done. Why, say pass the work to me, and take an easy." Steve's eyes promptly denied him. "Easy?"
Guess he's got uncle's bed, and all his food." "Wot food?" Interest in such a subject superceded all interest in the sunset. Little Marcel's eyes were eagerly enquiring as they gazed up into those of his new found friend. "Why, there's some frozen black-tail deer. Maybe there's a jack rabbit or so. Then I guess there's biscuit, and coffee, and tea, and maybe even sugar."
Frank dropped a word of this at the table, bolted his supper, and rode off to Sainte-Agnes, where there would be sympathetic discussion of Amedee's case at Marcel's saloon. As soon as Frank was gone, Marie telephoned Alexandra. It was a comfort to hear her friend's voice. Yes, Alexandra knew what there was to be known about Amedee.
It was a game. In Marcel's child-mind there was nothing better in the world. And it was An-ina's invention. It was the gopher hunt. They often played it in the cool summer evenings. The gophers destroyed the crops of men, therefore men must destroy the gophers. It was the simple logic that satisfied the child-hunter's mind.
