One of Them— (Calling through the door.)
Father!
Another—If he don't let us go, let's go ourselves.
Father Benedict— (Reappearing.)
Who called? (A pause.)
What is it?
A Man—Before you come out, Father, the monk spoke
Like as how the chase was on.
Another—"Run to the mountains, men!"
Another— "Quick! quick!"
Another—Said we should find him before Satan comes.
Another—That was before you came out.
First Man—Spoke like as how the dogs were on his trail.
Father Benedict—Run, some one, and fetch Pierre back.
