Who are these newcomers? cried Diane, recovering herself.
gpt
Why, yes, it is Father Launoy and Dominique Guyon! Yes, yes--and Bateese!--whom you have never seen.
human
Mademoiselle, said he in a voice low and firm, and not altogether unhappy,
gpt
I have met Bateese Guyon before now. And these men bring death to me. Run, Menehwehna! For me, I return to the Fort with mademoiselle.
human
Death?
gpt
Death, he repeated,
human
Return, Menehwehna! commanded John firmly.
gpt
Yes, mademoiselle, I cannot expiate what I have done. But I go to expiate what I can.
human
Expiate! What can you expiate? You can only die; and are you so much afraid of death that you think it an atonement? You can only die, and--and-- she hid her face in her hands.
gpt
Oh, Menehwehna, help me! He can only die, and I cannot let him die!
human
If my brother goes down the hill, I go with him,
gpt
You see? Diane turned on John wildly.
human
You will only kill your friend--and to what purpose? The wrong you have done you cannot remedy; the remedy you seek would kill me surely. Ah, go! go! Do not force me to kneel and clasp your knees--you that have already brought me so low! Go, and let me learn to hate as well as scorn you. You wish to expiate? This only will I take for expiation.
gpt
Come, brother!
human
Are you sorry at all? If you are sorry, you will obey me now.
