You never asked me, or I would have told. Are you not old Enough—have you not got two legs, A pair of hands, a level Enough head (When all is done and said) From which to deduce the devil? FINN [_Losing all control._] Liar! It was your duty to tell! MARKSMAN [_Quietly and sorrowfully._] Go to Hell. [_Finn rushes out. The Climber is all this time kneeling by the settle with her head buried in her hands, and does not appear to hear anything around her._] CARPENTER [_Angrily, to Marksman._] Didn’t the woman tell her that the Giant Who steals the children was just like a man? If we had known we wouldn’t have been so pliant. MARKSMAN [_Turning to look at him with a strange smile._] Why didn’t you ask her about him? She never can Tell you very much until You ask her of your own free will. CARPENTER [_Sneeringly._] I don’t believe she knew! MARKSMAN [_Turning and looking at him._] Don’t you? CARPENTER [_Trying to look him in the face, but getting very red, drops his eyes and mutters._] Well, maybe she did. You needn’t make a stir, I don’t pretend to understand folk like her. MARKSMAN [_As before._] Don’t you? CARPENTER [_Defiantly and reluctantly._] Well, if I do it’s not because I can’t. MARKSMAN [_As before._] Isn’t it? [_Silence._] Come, answer me! CARPENTER [_Defiantly._] I shan’t! MARKSMAN [_Letting him go with a contemptuous kick from behind._] Then follow Finn until you’ve learned compliance. CARPENTER [_Calling Tracker._] Come on! Let’s show them we’ve some self-reliance! TRACKER [_To Gripper, who is still standing quietly holding the arm he has pulled out._] Come on! There’s no use holding any more To the sneck of _that_ door. [_Pointing to arm._] GRIPPER Where are you going? [_He looks undecided._] TRACKER There’s no knowing, I’m bound to follow him. [_Points to Carpenter._] GRIPPER [_Looking round doubtfully._] The light is very dim, Where is he taking us? CARPENTER [_Pulling him by the collar._] Come on without any more fuss.
