Let us go, Mariet." "Captain?" asks Khorre. "Be silent, Khorre," says Haggart. "So that's the way you speak, abbot; so you are not a liar?" "Come with me and you shall see." "Where shall I go with you?" "To my house." "To your house? Do you hear, Khorre? To the priest! But do you know whom you are calling to your house?" "No, I don't know. But I see that you are young and strong.
Listen, Mariet, there was once a wise king Oh, how wise he was! and he commanded that the sea be lashed with chains. Oho!" "I know, Dan. You told me about it." "Oho, with chains! But it did not occur to him to christen the sea. Why did it not occur to him to do that, Mariet? Ah, why did he not think of it? We have no such kings now." "What would have happened, Dan?" "Oho!"
Mariet speaks with restrained force, pressing both hands to her breast: "I love you so dearly, Gart; when you go out to sea, I set my teeth together and do not open them until you come back. When you are away, I eat nothing and drink nothing; when you are away, I am silent, and the women laugh: 'Mute Mariet! But I would be insane if I spoke when I am alone."
DESFOSO If you looked around, abbot, you couldn't find a single, strong boat here. I haven't enough tar for mine. And the church is that the way a good church ought to look? I am not saying it myself, but it comes out that way it can't be helped, abbot. Haggart turns to Mariet and says: "Do you hear, woman?" "I do." "Why don't you spit into their faces?" "I can't. I love you, Haggart.
I have seen clutching, greedy fingers, crooked like those of birds, like those of birds, Haggart! And out of these fingers, which were forced open, gold was taken. And suddenly I saw a man sobbing. Think of it, Haggart! They were taking gold from him, and he was sobbing." She laughs bitterly. Haggart advances a step toward her and puts his heavy hand upon her shoulder: "Yes, yes, Mariet.
I don't like that," says the abbot. "You have come here uninvited. I don't like that either," says Haggart. "Why did you lead me here, Mariet? Come," says the abbot. Haggart speaks ironically: "And you leave us here to die? That is unChristian, Christian." "Although I am a priest, I am a poor Christian, and the Lord knows it," says the abbot angrily. "I have no desire to save such a rude scamp.
Mariet, turning pale, looking sorrowfully at his terrible eyes which are now steadfastly fixed upon her, continues, still smiling: "Go on, Gart! Will you say perhaps that I Will you say perhaps that I dissuaded you? That would be funny " HAGGART No, I will not say that. You lie, Mariet! Even I, Haggart just think of it, people even I believed her, so cleverly does this woman lie.
Haggart, I will be your song, your thoughts, Haggart! And if it must be so, let Khorre give gin to little Noni he is a strong boy." "Eh, Mariet?" says Haggart sternly. "Do you perhaps want me to believe you again? Eh, Mariet? Don't talk of that which you do not know, woman. Are the rocks perhaps casting a spell over me and turning my head? Do you hear the noise, and something like voices?
Here is another one." "Be accursed, Dan!" "Oho? And you, too, Mariet, be accursed!" Mariet clasps the child in her arms and lifts him high. Then she calls wildly: "Haggart, turn around! Turn around, Haggart! Noni is calling you. He wants to curse you, Haggart. Turn around! Look, Noni, look that is your father. Remember him, Noni. And when you grow up, go out on every sea and find him, Noni.
Mariet shudders and looks at the speaker with aversion. Silence. Another fisherman enters, looks at the curtain and silently forces his way into the crowd. Women's voices are heard behind the door; the abbot stops. "Eh, Lebon! Chase the women away," he says. "Tell them, there is nothing for them to do here." Lebon goes out. "Wait," the abbot stops.
