I was fighting back, fighting back against everybody. "And this is what I came to say all the time I was guilty guilty: guilty as Rafe Gadbeau!" "I am not sure I understand," said the Bishop slowly, as Jeffrey stopped. "Oh, there's nothing to understand. It is just as I say. I was guilty of that man's death before I saw him at all that morning.
I put mon Rafe dead in his grave to shame before all the world, called him murderer, blackened his name, for you! "No! No! No! Never! "I would not have said a word against him to save you from the death. Never! "I did what I did, because there was a debt. A debt which mon Rafe had forgotten to pay. He was waiting outside of Heaven for me to pay that debt. I paid. I paid. His way was made straight.
"So I was. For Nancy here," laughed Rafe. "Thought 'twas somethin' of mine," said the girl. "Lemme go now!" She jerked away her hand and scuttled into the house that they were then just passing. "Wonder what the little imp came out to watch me for?" queried Rafe.
The weather was then pronounced settled, and word came for the two young men, Tom and Rafe, to report at Blackton's camp the next morning, prepared to go to work. Tom drove a team which was then at the lumber camp, being cared for by the cook and foreman; Rafe was a chopper, for he had that sleight with an ax which, more than mere muscle, makes the mighty woodsman.
"If if I shouldn't be back to-night, or to-morrow; why, watch Rafe Gadbeau. Will you? I wouldn't say anything to mother. And Uncle Catty, well, he's not very sharp sometimes. Will you?" "Of course I will. But be careful, Jeff, please."
Fear was gone, and doubt, and anxiety. She would save Jeffrey, and she would save the poor, befooled people from ruin. God had told her so, as He walked abroad in the Glow of Dawn. Two long hours more she waited, but now with patience and a sure confidence. Then Rafe Gadbeau came out of the hut and strode down the path to his pony.
Randal thought of that dry witticism in Gibbon, "Abu Rafe says he will be witness for this fact, but who will be witness for Abu Rafe?" but he remained silent, only fixing on Levy those dark observant eyes, with their contracted, wary pupils. "The fact is simply this," resumed Levy: "Count di Peschiera has promised to pay his sister a dowry of L20,000, in case he has the money to spare.
"At times he said to me, 'Cynthe, I will kill this man one day, and that will be the end of all. But I said, 'Non, non, mon Rafe, we will marry in the fall, and go away to far Beaupre where he will never see you again, and we will not know that he ever lived." Cynthe had forgotten her audience. She was telling over to herself the tragedy of her little life and her great love.
She lit her oil lamp and dressed swiftly, running at last through the cold parlor and sitting room into the kitchen, where the fire in the range was burning briskly and the coffee pot was on. Tom and Rafe were there comfortably getting into thick woolen socks and big lumbermen's boots.
I recollect well Tim's whispering softly as I let go my hold of the port sill, "Sure, now, take care av y'rsilf, Misther Gray-ham, sorr, an' don't forgit what the skipper's tould you about your coorse whin ye gits outsoide the rafe; ye're to steer nor'-nor'-west, wid a little more west in it, an' kape a good look-out for the blissid gunboat an' an' God bliss ye me bhoy, an' that's Tim Rooney's dyin' wish if ye niver say him ag'in!"
