OLIVE.

Captain, I tell you God once fell asleep.
And in that hour the world went as it would;
Dogs brought forth cats, and poison grew in grapes,
And Orm was born....

REDFEATHER.

Why, curse him! can he not
Be kicked or paid?

OLIVE [_feverishly_].

Hush! He is just behind
There in the house--see how the great house glares,
Glares like an ogre's mask--the whole dead house
Possessed with bestial meaning....

[_Screams_]

Ah! the face!
The whole great grinning house--his face! his face!
His face!

REDFEATHER [_in a voice of thunder, pointing away from the house_].

Look there--look there!

OLIVE.
