You see, it all came through me I was so young and spoiled and silly John Marcey's death, her death, and his long years in prison. Even then I knew better than to set the one against the other. Must a child not be responsible? I was I am!" "And so you punish yourself?" "It was terrible for me even as a child. I said that I could never forgive, but when his mother died, blessing me, I did.
"You see, it was Captain Randolph Sumner, the gentleman who owns that splendid new yacht down to Marcey's. He fell into the water right in front of the incoming steamer Flag, and I fished him out just as he was on the point of being struck. He was very grateful and made me keep the money, although I didn't want it and told him so." That was all Bob said.
He knew now that she would never shudder again at the sight of it, or at the remembrance of Marcey's death. "But he will come," was the reply to her, and her smile almost settled and stayed. They parted, and as he went down the hill he saw far over, coming up, a woman in black, who walked as if she carried a great weight.
All went well until Marcey dug a hole in the ground, put a stone in it, and, burying it, said it was Laforce's heart. Then Laforce pretended to ventriloquise, and mocked Marcey's slight stutter. That was the beginning of the trouble, and Lucille, like any lady of the world, troubled at Laforce's unkindness, tried to smooth things over tried very gravely.

"After after ah, he went away for a year. Then he came back; but no, I was always thinking of that night I walked behind John Marcey's body to the Fort. So he went away again, and we came here, and here we have lived." "He has not come here?"

She was noting how it was flashed from the bark of the birch-trees near the Fort. "His mother died," she added again, quietly. "It killed her the gaol for him!" "An eye for an eye," he responded. "Do you think that evens John Marcey's death?" she sighed. "As far as Marcey's concerned," he answered. "Laforce has his own reckoning besides." "It was not a murder," she urged.

The Englishman belonged to the Hudson's Bay Company, but they have heard nothing down here at Fort Ste. Anne." "If he saves the Company's man, that will make up the man he lost for them, eh you think that, eh?" Pierre's eyes had a curious ironical light. "I do not care for the Company," she said. "John Marcey's life was his own." "Good!" he added quickly, and his eyes admired her.
