For an instant his eyes lighted up, whether in sympathy or commiseration or both, Hodder could not tell. "I'm with ye, Mr. Hodder, if ye'll show me the way. But oughtn't we to begin at both ends?" "At both ends?" Hodder repeated. "Surely. With the people in the pews? Oughtn't we to be firing them, too?" "Yes," said the rector. "You're right." He turned away, to feel McCrae's hand on his sleeve.
Simon lifted McCrae's right foot and placed his finger on a patch beneath the ball of the great toe. His features expanded in a knowing grin. Sandy McCrae's face suddenly became grave and his mouth grim. His voice, when he spoke, was hard and metallic. "Quit this sign business and spit it out of you," he ordered. "Mamook kumtuks! Tell me what you mean!"
But that won't be the whole story. If it were merely a question of doctrine, I should resign. It's deeper than that, more sinister." Hodder doubled up his hand, and laid it on the table. "It's a matter," he said, looking into McCrae's eyes, "of freeing this church from those who now hold it in chains.
We won't take advantage of that clause in the old railway charter at least not enough to interfere with men who are actually using water now. But I want you to be satisfied with enough to irrigate, used economically." "That's all we ever wanted." "I'm glad to hear it. Now I've fixed up this matter of young McCrae's. That's settled. No more trouble about it.
His assistant, in sustaining him in the struggle he meant to enter, would be making even a greater sacrifice than himself. For Hodder had no illusions, and knew that the odds against him were incalculable. Whatever, if defeated, his own future might be, McCrae's was still more problematical and tragic.
If Glass has found a patched moccasin of McCrae's he's pretty near got him to rights. I don't know what he's got, though. About Cross and McHale, I don't care a curse which shot the other. These men Cross, Dade, Lewis, and some more were protecting our property. And that's all." "Not quite all. They blew up our dams."
