Haggart seats himself and clasps his head with both hands. "I have a headache. What is that cry? Was there a shipwreck?" "No, Noni. It is the wind playing roguishly." "Khorre!" "Captain." "Give me the bottle." He drinks a little more and sets the bottle on the table. Then he paces the room, straightening his shoulders and his chest, and looks out of the window.
Leave my hand alone, it hurts." "Now he makes believe he is Haggart! Listen!" The oppressive chords resound faintly. Haggart moans softly. "What is it, Noni? Do you feel any pain?" "Yes. Do you understand of what he speaks?" "No." "He speaks of the most important of the most vital, Khorre if we could only understand it I want to understand it. Listen, Khorre, listen!
I don't understand your actions. Don't be angry, Noni, but I don't understand your actions! I am afraid that you have lost your mind." "Did you drink again?" "I did." "Give me some." He drinks from the mouth of the bottle lying on the floor, his eyes wandering over the crooked mutilated walls, whose every projection and crack is now lighted by the bright flame in the fireplace.
"They are waiting, Noni. Go quicker! They want to feast to-night, Noni! But I must tell you, Noni, that they " HAGGART Did you say something, Flerio? Yes, yes, everything is ready. I am coming. I think I am not quite through yet with land. This is such a remarkable land, Flerio; the dreams here drive their claws into a man like thorns, and they hold him.
There were groves of bananas and plantains with shiny leaves 8 feet long, like enormous hart's-tongue, the bright-leaved noni, the dark-leaved koa, the mahogany of the Pacific; the great glossy-leaved Eugenia a forest tree as large as our largest elms; the small-leaved ohia, its rose-crimson flowers making a glory in the forests, and its young shoots of carmine red vying with the colouring of the New England fall; and the strange lauhala hung its stiff drooping plumes, which creak in the faintest breeze; and the superb breadfruit hung its untempting fruit, and from spreading guavas we shook the ripe yellow treasures, scooping out the inside, all juicy and crimson, to make drinking cups of the rind; and there were trees that had surrendered their own lives to a conquering army of vigorous parasites which had clothed their skeletons with an unapproachable and indistinguishable beauty, and over trees and parasites the tender tendrils of great mauve morning glories trailed and wreathed themselves, and the strong, strangling stems of the ie wound themselves round the tall ohias, which supported their quaint yucca-like spikes of leaves fifty feet from the ground.
All shudder when Mariet suddenly commences to speak: "Perhaps you think that all this is just, father? Why, then, don't you ask me about it? I am his wife. Don't you believe that I am his wife? Then I will bring little Noni here. Do you want me to bring little Noni? He is sleeping, but I will wake him up.
But if you think that this rag with which I have covered the window is a sail, and that this ruin of a castle is a three-masted brig, you are a fool! We are not going anywhere! We are standing securely at our moorings, do you hear?" He pushes the sleeping man cautiously. "Get up, Noni. I feel lonesome. If we must drink, let's drink together I feel lonesome. Noni!"
You never saw how real ships are fitted out real ships which rove over the ocean, tearing its grey waves. Was it with this toy that you wanted to quench your little thirst fool?" He throws down the little ship and rises: "Khorre! Boatswain!" "Yes." "Call them! I assume command again, Khorre!" The sailor turns pale and shouts enthusiastically: "Noni! Captain! My knees are trembling.
When they heard the storm, they heard you, Noni!" "I burnt their cities. The deck of my ship is shaking under my feet, Khorre. The deck is shaking under me!" He laughs wildly, as if losing his senses. "You sank their ships. You sent to the bottom the Englishman who was chasing you." "He had ten guns more than I." "And you burnt and drowned him. Do you remember, Noni, how the wind laughed then?
But where have we buried it, the barrel? Do you remember, Noni? I have forgotten. They say it's from the gin, kind people; they say that one's memory fails from too much gin. I am a drunkard, that's true." "If you are not inventing then you had better choke yourself with your gold, you dog!" says the abbot. HAGGART Khorre! KHORRE Yes. HAGGART To-morrow you will get a hundred lashes.
