"He is gay; of good heart; he smiles, and the women are at his heels; he laughs, and they are on their knees Such a fool he is!" Still Shon McGann laughed. "A fool I am, Pierre, or I'd be in ould Ireland at this minute, with a roof o' me own over me and the friends o' me youth round me, and brats on me knee, and the fear o' God in me heart."
Then tomorrow morning at ten you will fetch your wedding-gift. But come so soon now to M'sieu' Tarlton's office, and we will have it all as you say, with the red seal and the turn of your fist yes. Well, well, we travel far in the world, and sometimes we see strange things, and no two strange things are alike no; there is only one Macavoy in the world, there was only one Shon McGann.
There's nothing left but to draw the cold sheet of the grave over me. Better for me if I had never come if I had never come, and instead were lyin' by his father and mother beneath the rowan." The priest took her wrist firmly in his. "These are not brave nor Christian words, from a brave and Christian girl. But I know that grief makes one's words wild. Shon McGann shall be found.
The morning was half gone when Shon McGann and Mary Callen stood beside their horses, ready to mount and go; for Mary had persisted that she could travel joy makes such marvellous healing. When the moment of parting came, Pierre was not there. Mary whispered to her lover concerning this. The priest went to the door of the but and called him. He came out slowly.
"Into Heaven, say I, and be choked to you! for there's no other place for it; and I'll stand by that, till I go there myself, and know the truth o' the thing." Pierre here spoke. "Heaven gave you a fine trick with words, Shon McGann. I sometimes think Irishmen have gifts for only two things words and women. ... 'Bien, what then?" Shon was determined not to be angered. The occasion was too big.
It is now eight o'clock. At ten o'clock Shon McGann will meet me at the Saints' Repose. Then you shall know.... Ah, it is a pity! Shon was my good friend, but this spoils all that. Wine it has danger; cards there is peril in that sport; women they make trouble most of all." "O God," she piteously said, "what did I do? There was no sin in me. I was your faithful wife, though you were cruel to me.
Shon McGann whispered aves, aching with the sound; the Chief Factor shuddered to his feet; Lazenby winced and drew back to the wall, putting his hand before his face as though the sounds were striking him; the old Indian covered his head with his arms upon the floor. Wine Face knelt, her face all grey, her fingers lacing and interlacing with pain.
That woman! faith, y'd better not cut the words so sharp betune yer teeth, Pierre." "But I will say more a little just the same. She nursed you well, that is good; but it is good also, I think, you pay her for that, and stop the rest. Women are fools, or else they are worse. This one? She is worse. Yes; you will take my advice, Shon McGann."
"Young I may be with a glint o' grey at me temples from a night o' trouble beyand in the hills; but I'm the man, an' the only man, that's climbed to the glacier-top God's Playground, as they call it: and nivir a dirty trick have I done to Injin girl or any other; and be damned to you there!" "Sometimes I think you are as foolish as Shon McGann," compassionately replied the half-breed.
It is now eight o'clock. At ten o'clock Shon McGann will meet me at the Saints' Repose. Then you shall know.... Ah, it is a pity! Shon was my good friend, but this spoils all that. Wine it has danger; cards there is peril in that sport; women they make trouble most of all." "O God," she piteously said, "what did I do? There was no sin in me. I was your faithful wife, though you were cruel to me.
