Schuster listened to Del's flood of tear…choked French； nodded as if he understood perfectly； and patted him on the back。 He looked at me over the little man's shoulder and said； 〃I hardly understand a quarter of what he's saying。〃
〃Don't think it matters；〃 Brutal rumbled。
〃Neither do I； son；〃 Schuster said with a grin。 He was the best of them； and now I realize I have no idea what became of him。 I hope he kept his faith； whatever else befell。
He urged Delacroix onto his knees； then folded his hands。 Delacroix did the same。
