"Well, I'm afraid I must leave you to it," said the Vicar, and did so. When it began to be noised abroad that Gard was going to and fro across the Coupée, even by night, as if nothing had ever happened there, the Sark men shrugged their shoulders and said, "Pardie! sooner him than me oui-gia!" It was obviously necessary, however, that this should be known.
"That poor Maitre Ranulph," said Dormy, "once he was lively as a basket of mice; but now " "Well, now, achocre?" she said irritably, stamping her foot. "Now the cat's out of the bag oui-gia!" "You're as cunning as a Norman you've got things in your noddee!" she cried with angry impatience. He nodded, grinning. "As thick as haws," he answered.
"But he has folded sails now." "Ma fe, yes, he sleeps like a porpoise now, and white as a wax he looked up there in the Cohue Royale," put in a centenier standing by. A voice came shrilly over the head of the centenier. "As white as you'll look yellow one day, bat'd'lagoule! Yellow and green, oui-gia yellow like a bad apple, and cowardly green as a leek." This was Manon Moignard the witch.
As it issued from the archway of the Vier Prison between mounted guards, and passed through a long lane of moving spectators, he looked round coolly. One or two bold spirits cried out: "Head up to the wind, Maitre Elie!" "Oui-gia," he replied; "devil a top-sail in!" and turned a look of contempt on those who hooted him. He realised now that there was no chance of rescue.
But though he lingered, somehow he seemed withdrawn from all these things; they were to him now as pictures of a distant past. Dormy plucked at his coat. "Come, come, lift your feet, lift your feet," said he; "it's no time to walk in slippers. The old man will be getting scared, oui-gia!" Ranulph roused himself. Yes, yes, he must hurry on.
"Why did Detricand Duke turn Philip Duke out of duchy, see him killed, then fetch him home to Jersey like a brother? Ah, man pethe benin, that's beyond me! "Those great folks does things their own ways; oui-gia," remarked the jailer. "Why did Detricand Duke go back to France?" asked Maitre Damian, cocking his head wisely; "why did he not stay for obsequies he?"
Pardingue, but my heart hurts me!" she added suddenly, and catching the hand that held the little gold cane she kissed it with impulsive ardour. "You have been so good to me oui-gia!" she said with a gulp, and then she dropped the hand and turned and fled to the boat rocking in the surf.
"Oui-gia!" and shook an angry fist at him. But the discoverer of the body was already away along the road to Vauroque, covering the ground like a little incarnation of ill-news. The exertion of running cleared away the choking, if it took his breath. He shouted as he drew near the houses. "Ah, bah!" growled one of the diners inside. "What's to do now, then?"
As it issued from the archway of the Vier Prison between mounted guards, and passed through a long lane of moving spectators, he looked round coolly.

He realised now that there was no chance of rescue.
While the excited crowd tried to break through the cordon of mounted guards, Mattingley, by a twist and a jerk, freed his corded hands. Loosing the rope at his neck he opened his eyes and looked around him, dazed and dumb. The Apprentice came forward. "I'll shorten the rope oui-gia! Then you shall see him swing," he grumbled viciously to the Vicomte.
