I knew them . I worked for them : that was enough . No wonder -- ' He stopped and laughed . ` You became a great man , Hal , ' said Puck . ` They said so , Robin . Even Bramante said so . ' ` Why ? What did you do ? ' Dan asked . The artist looked at him queerly . ` Things in stone and such , up and down England . You would not have heard of 'em . To come nearer home , I rebuilded this little St Barnabas ' church of ours . It cost me more trouble and sorrow than aught I 've touched in my life . But 't was a sound lesson . ' ` Um , ' said Dan . ` We 've had lessons this morning . ' ` I 'll not afflict ye , lad , ' said Hal , while Puck roared . ` Only 't is strange to think how that little church was rebuilt , re-roofed , and made glorious , thanks to some few godly Sussex iron-masters , a Bristow sailor lad , a proud ass called Hal o ' the Draft because , d'you see , he was always drawing and drafting ; and ' -- he dragged the words slowly -- ' and a Scotch pirate . ' ` Pirate ? '
