Gabriel
glanced
hopelessly
at
the
group
,
which
,
with
one
or
two
exceptions
,
composed
all
the
able
-
bodied
men
upon
the
farm
.
He
saw
at
once
that
if
the
ricks
were
to
be
saved
that
night
,
or
even
the
next
morning
,
he
must
save
them
with
his
own
hands
.
A
faint
"
ting
-
ting
"
resounded
from
under
Coggan
’
s
waistcoat
.
It
was
Coggan
’
s
watch
striking
the
hour
of
two
.
Oak
went
to
the
recumbent
form
of
Matthew
Moon
,
who
usually
undertook
the
rough
thatching
of
the
home
-
stead
,
and
shook
him
.
The
shaking
was
without
effect
.
Gabriel
shouted
in
his
ear
,
"
where
’
s
your
thatching
-
beetle
and
rick
-
stick
and
spars
?
"
"
Under
the
staddles
,
"
said
Moon
,
mechanically
,
with
the
unconscious
promptness
of
a
medium
.
Gabriel
let
go
his
head
,
and
it
dropped
upon
the
floor
like
a
bowl
.
He
then
went
to
Susan
Tall
’
s
husband
.
"
Where
’
s
the
key
of
the
granary
?
"
No
answer
.
The
question
was
repeated
,
with
the
same
result
.
To
be
shouted
to
at
night
was
evidently
less
of
a
novelty
to
Susan
Tall
’
s
husband
than
to
Matthew
Moon
.
Oak
flung
down
Tall
’
s
head
into
the
corner
again
and
turned
away
.
To
be
just
,
the
men
were
not
greatly
to
blame
for
this
painful
and
demoralizing
termination
to
the
evening
’
s
entertainment
.
Sergeant
Troy
had
so
strenuously
insisted
,
glass
in
hand
,
that
drinking
should
be
the
bond
of
their
union
,
that
those
who
wished
to
refuse
hardly
liked
to
be
so
unmannerly
under
the
circumstances
.
Having
from
their
youth
up
been
entirely
unaccustomed
to
any
liquor
stronger
than
cider
or
mild
ale
,
it
was
no
wonder
that
they
had
succumbed
,
one
and
all
,
with
extraordinary
uniformity
,
after
the
lapse
of
about
an
hour
.
Gabriel
was
greatly
depressed
.
This
debauch
boded
ill
for
that
wilful
and
fascinating
mistress
whom
the
faithful
man
even
now
felt
within
him
as
the
embodiment
of
all
that
was
sweet
and
bright
and
hopeless
.
