Tou not only mean well you have done well. But it's a lie, Bainton! it's all a wicked, damnable lie!" He sprang to his feet as he said this, the wrath in his eyes flashing a steel-like lightning. "It's a lie!" he repeated "Do you understand? A cruel, abominable lie!" Bainton twirled his cap sympathetically. "So it be, Passon," he murmured "So it be I know'd that all along!
And I guess, if it suits your fancy, we'll find the passon feller, that can't kick religion into that township, ready to fix you and Keeko up. After that there's the winter trail for us both, for just as many seasons as you fancy. We've a mighty big work still, before we strip the heart of Unaga of the treasure the world needs."
Walden stopped abruptly. "What do you mean?" "'Tain't for me to say;" and Bainton pretended to be very busy in pulling up one or two plantains from the lawn; "But I tells ye true, Passon, the Five Sisters ain't goin' to be laid low without a shindy!" John's eyes sparkled. He scented battle, and was not by any means displeased.
Mixed wi' thistles, mebbe? An' then he used a bit of 'is master's or'nary language, which as ye knows, Passon, is chice partic'ler chice. 'Evil communications c'rupts good manners' even in a valet wot 'as no more to do than wash an' comb a man like a 'oss, an' pocket fifty pun a year for keepin' of 'is haristocratic master clean. Lor'! what a wurrld it is! what a wurrld!"
"'Tis tu gert a thing for me to say no wummon was ever plaaced like what I be now. I do mean to see passon at Sancreed, uncle. He'll knaw what's right for me. If he bids me stay, I'll stay. 'Tis the thot o' Joe Noy maddens me. My head'll burst if I think any more. I'll go to passon." "Whether you'll stay, Polly! Why shouldn't 'e stay? Surely it do " "Doan't 'e talk no more 'tall, uncle.
Will you meet me on the shore this evening near the quay and listen to a word or two?" Ben looked surprised but interested, and a puzzled smile came into his eyes. "Be ye a goin' to preach to us like the passon?" he said, "Or like the fellers in the porter's caps as calls themselves Salvationists?" Aubrey smiled. "No! I only want to say a few parting words to you all."
Tregagle, he done that party quick, an' then he was at the man again; but a passon got the bettermost of en an' tamed en wi' Scripture till Tregagle was as gentle as a cheel. Then they set en to work agin an' bid en make a truss o' sand down in Gwenvor Cove, an' carry it 'pon his shoulder up to Carn Olva.
Josey heard all this nonsense babble with delighted interest, and surveyed the tops of his decorated boots with much admiration. "Ain't she a little caution!" he said "She do mind me somehow of th' owld Squire's gel! Ay, she do! Miss Maryllia was just as peart and dauntsome when she was her age. Did I ever tell ye, Passon, 'bout Miss Maryllia's legs an' the wopses' nest?" John started violently.
I'm not very good at unnerstannin' that kind o' folk, not seein' myself 'owever a saint could manage to get on in this mortal wurrld; but I reckon to think there's a tollable imitation o' the real article in Passon Walden the jolly sort o' saint, o' coorse, not the prayin', whinin', snuffin' kind.
"Please God, you will!" said Josey, devoutly "And please God, so shall I. But there's never no knowin' what may 'appen in a day or two days " Here Ipsie gave vent to a yell of delight. She had been groping among the flowers in the cottage border, and now held up a deep red rose, darkly glowing at its centre. "Wed wose!" she announced, screamingly "Wed all wed! For Passon! Passon, tiss it!"
