Sam Average TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text ANDREW. [Who has listened with awe.] What are you? What are you?<br><br>THE FIGURE. Me? I'm the paymaster.<br><br>ANDREW. I want to serve you--like those others.<br><br>THE FIGURE. Slow, slow, boy! Nobody sarves me.<br><br>ANDREW. But they died for you--the others.<br><br>THE FIGURE. No, 'twa'n't for me; 'twas for him as pays the wages; the one as works through me--the one higher up. I'm only the paymaster; kind of a needful makeshift--his obedient sarvant.<br><br>ANDREW. [With increasing curiosity, seeks to peer in THE FIGURE'S face.] But the one up higher--who is he?<br><br>THE FIGURE. [Turning his head away.] Would ye sarve him, think, if ye heerd his voice?<br><br>ANDREW. [Ardently, drawing closer.] And saw his face!<br><br>[Drawing his cowl lower and taking ANDREW'S arm, THE FIGURE leads him up on the embankment, where they stand together.<br><br>THE FIGURE. Hark a-yonder!<br><br>ANDREW. [Listening.] Is it thunder?<br><br>THE FIGURE. Have ye forgot?<br><br>ANDREW. The voice! I remember now--Niagara!<br><br>[With awe, ANDREW looks toward THE FIGURE, who stands shrouded and still, facing the dawn. From far off comes a sound as of falling waters, and with that--a deep murmurous voice, which seems to issue from THE FIGURE'S cowl.<br><br>THE VOICE. I am the Voice that was heard of your fathers, and your fathers' fathers. Mightier--mightier, I shall be heard of your sons. I am the Million in whom the one is lost, and I am the One in whom the millions are saved.
