Hitherto a lonely man, he had found a clan anda
family. Also,the tribe was now in a better mood, as spring was very near. Tomorrow
morning we willhave a round-up and discover exactly what is the size of ourjob. He
was suffering from tuberculosis,and had undertaken the expedition with a view to a
cure.
Father Duplessis voice broke in on his meditation
and seemed togive the benediction words. The North hasnt sent me back to malinger.
Leithen asked what help he could count on. She stopped and gazed for a little at the
glen, which suddenlyoverflowed with a burst of sunlight. But gradually he began to
feelfor them a protective and brotherly kindness. It does not require a position of
authority, for itmakes its own authority.
What a marvel was this clot ofvivified
dust!
He hadbeen abject but without true humility. Butnow
there seemed to be a loosening of bonds.
It seems that the elder Frizel had repeatedlywarned
Sir E. But it was largely due to his growing affection forL.
The women, too, hadceased to scold and upbraid, and
would soon go the way of theirmenfolk.
But my feeling for him hadwarmth in it as well as
respect. What a marvel was this clot ofvivified dust!
Also,the tribe was now in a better mood, as spring
was very near. Something harsh to get the sullenness out of theirbones.
I should have felt it an impiety, for I recognised
thatin his own way he was making his soul.
I have said that in him I witnessedthe rebirth of a
soul, but that is not quite the truth.
