Do you think that Bele is out of your way because he is out of the body? He is now nearer to you than your hands or feet. And let Liot Borson look to himself. The old thrall's curse was evil enough, but Bele Trenby will make it measureless." "Such words are like the rest of your lying; I will not fear them, since God is himself, and he shall rule the life Liot and I will lead together.
But Liot Borson had put his mortality beneath his feet; nothing could have forced a cry from him. His face changed as a green leaf might change if a hot iron was passed over it; but he sat grasping the rude arms of his wooden chair, disdaining the torture while it lasted, and smiling triumphantly as it partly passed away. "A few more such pangs and the fight will be over, David.
She prefaced her story by a gift of ten pounds for the replenishing of the manse, and then told it according to her own wishes and imagination. "The minister dead and gone would not listen to me," she said. "He was a poor creature, and Liot Borson was one of his pets. The man could do no wrong in his eyes. So I have been sin-bearer for more than twenty years.
Almost her first words were of Bele Trenby, for whom she was mourning with the love of a mother for an only son. "What brings you into my sight?" she asked the girl. "Bele is dead and gone, and you are living! and Liot Borson knows all about it!" "How dare you say such a thing, aunt?" "I can dare the truth, though the devil listened to it. As for 'aunt, I am no aunt of yours."
Her first impulse was to go to Liot with the story of the interview, but her second was a positive withdrawal of it. It was the eve of her bridal day, and the house was already full of strangers. Paul Borson was spending his money freely for the wedding-feast. In the morning she was to become Liot's wife. How could she bring contention where there should be only peace and good-will?
Thus, Peter Redlands, talking to a group of fishers one day, said: "Where that lad learned the sea, and who taught him all the ways of it, is beyond me; but say as you will, he can make harbor when none of us could look at it. It is my belief David Borson can stick to anything that can float."
"Ay, would I! 'Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him. But I am not fearing the place of torment, David. And as for this world, it is at my feet like a cast-off shoe, and all its gold and gear is as the wrack of the sea. But you will find a few sovereigns in my chest, and a letter for your cousin Paul Borson; and the ship and the house you may do your will with."
I would lay his neck across my knee, and break it like a dog's. I would that!" "It would be a joy to see thee do it. I would say, 'Well done, David Borson!" "I am glad that God has made Tophet for such men!" cried David, passionately. "Often I have trembled at the dreadful justice of the Holy One; I see now how good it is.
"I have no niece." "Yea, but you have. Death breaks no kinship. It is souls that are related, not bodies; and souls live forever." "Babble! In a word, what brought you here?" "I came only to see you." "Well, then, I sent not for you." "Yet I thought you would wish to see me." "I do not." "Liot Borson is dead." "I am glad of it.
That is not all." "Tell me all, then; but make no more of it than it is worth." "There is little need to do that. Before Nanna was strong again he sold the house which Paul Borson had given to her as a marriage present. He sold also all the plenishing, and whatever else he could lay his hands on.
