In the Council or not. Everyone who knows anything knows that. And here we are with dead bodies lying in the dark! Why, where have you been if you haven't heard all about the trouble between Ostrog and the Verneys? And what do you think the troubles are about? The Sleeper? Eh? You think the Sleeper's real and woke of his own accord eh?"
It was that discontent supplied the motive force of this overthrow that and your awakening." "Yes?" Ostrog smiled. He became explicit. "We had to stir up their discontent, we had to revive the old ideals of universal happiness all men equal all men happy no luxury that everyone may not share ideas that have slumbered for two hundred years. You know that?
He perceived that as soon as he returned he must discuss this with Ostrog, this and the greater issues of which it was the expression, in a far more conclusive way than he had so far done.
The new apostle of enlightenment was forced to leave the city and reside for a while in Berdichev, Nemirov, Ostrog, and Tulchin. But wherever he went, his tribulation was sweetened by the enthusiasm of his admirers and the consciousness that his toil was not entirely wasted.
"And now this Ostrog has suddenly revolutionised the world by waking the Sleeper whom no one but the superstitious, common people had ever dreamt would wake again raising the Sleeper to claim his property from the Council, after all these years." The old man endorsed this statement with a cough. "It's strange," he said, "to meet a man who learns these things for the first time tonight."
But ever and again during the night's expedition his ears, in some new quarter would pick out from the tumult of the ways the peculiar hooting of the organ of Boss Ostrog, "Galloop, Galloop!" or the shrill "Yahaha, Yaha, Yap! Hear a live paper yelp!" of its chief rival. Repeated, too, everywhere, were such creches as the one he now entered.
Graham could see only a few neglected bodies in gaps and corners of the ruins, and amidst the flowing water. "Will you let them see you, Sire?" said Ostrog. "They are very anxious to see you." Graham hesitated, and then walked forward to where the broken verge of wall dropped sheer. He stood looking down, a lonely, tall, black figure against the sky.
Stop all work," and a swarthy hunchback, ridiculously gay in green and gold, came leaping down the platforms toward him, bawling again and again in good English, "This is Ostrog's doing, Ostrog the Knave! The Master is betrayed." His voice was hoarse and a thin foam dropped from his ugly shouting mouth.
The stage had a small higher portion on which Graham stood with Ostrog and Lincoln close beside him, a little in advance of a group of minor officers. A broader lower stage surrounded this quarter-deck, and on this were the black-uniformed guards of the revolt armed with the little green weapons whose very names Graham still did not know.
"I come from a democratic age. And I find an aristocratic tyranny!" "Well, but you are the chief tyrant." Graham shook his head. "Well," said Ostrog, "take the general question. It is the way that change has always travelled. Aristocracy, the prevalence of the best the suffering and extinction of the unfit, and so to better things." "But aristocracy! those people I met "
