If I could have done so with any remains of self-esteem I would now have fled from my foolhardy enterprise. I had outfaced these men, I would continue to outface them; come what might, I would stand by the word spoken. The sense of my own constancy somewhat uplifted my spirits, but not much.
You have been chased in the field by the grown men of my party; it seems a poor kind of pleasure to outface a boy. Both the Campbells and the Whigs have beaten you; you have run before them like a hare. It behoves you to speak of them as of your betters." Alan stood quite still, the tails of his great-coat clapping behind him in the wind. "This is a pity," he said at last.
But for the present his magic holds them in thrall. They listen in fear to one who hath the ear of God." I arose, stretched my arms, and yawned. "They carry me to this Sachem," I said. "Well and good. I will outface this blasphemous liar, whoever he may be. If he makes big magic, I will make bigger. The only course is the bold course.
