Is this the road to Woodburn?
gpt
Aye,
human
Oh, are you--is this Colonel--
gpt
Aye, lad, said the oldest of the bearers,
human
But why--
gpt
He's wrapped in the flag of the king that he was a loyal servant to, because the damned psalm-singing hypocrites in the town where he lived of late would not make a coffin for him--no, nor allow ground to bury him--no, nor men to bear him out to his grave! We be men who have served under him in three wars, and we come from over the mountain to do the last service for him. He saved our lives for us more than once--brave Colonel Gid!
human
May I--may I see him once again? he asked, dropping his bundle.
gpt
He saved my life too.
human
Aye, is he not at peace! God grant we may all look so when the time comes.
