I--ah! God give me grace--I am nigh dead. REDFEATHER [_quietly._] Lord Orm? OLIVE. Yes--yes. REDFEATHER. Is in your father's house-- Having the title-deeds--would drive you forth. Homeless, and with your father sick to death, Into this winter, save on a condition Named.... OLIVE. And unnameable. Even so; Lord Orm-- Ah! do you know him? REDFEATHER. Ay, I saw him once. The sun shone on his face, that smiled and smiled, A sight not wholesome to the eyes of man. |
