You need them and you're to have them. I want you to take the money and go to California!" "Oh hurrah!" cried Charley, springing up and sitting down again. "Why !" gasped his father. "But look here, anyway: it wouldn't be mine; it belongs to Charley, remember. The man gave it to Charley, if he gave it to anybody." "Humph," grunted the old doctor, eyes twinkling.
"And what difference does it make? It amused him, and he was fairly subtle about it. Only those who are looking for romance, like you, are able to guess what he meant, and they would think they saw it anyway, even if he had painted me extinct." "Extinct!" I repeated. She laughed. "Hugh, you're a silly old goose!" "That's why I came here, I think, to be told so," I said. Tea was brought in.
"You wouldn't have had room for the lobster, anyway." "But I wish I had him," repeated Joel, stolidly. "And you must leave something for next time," said Polly, taking up the big ring to whirl it around over her head, to watch the effect of the red strip. "Oh, Polly!" screamed Joel, his black eyes sparkling with delight, "that's perfectly splendid! and I'll come right smash through that red ring.
"I don't know. But I do know I don't want to be just stupidly satisfied, and talking does keep me from that, anyway. See here, Miss Winslow, suppose some time I suggested that we become nice and earnest and take up socialism and single tax and this what is it? oh, syndicalism and really studied them, would you do it? Make each other study?" "Love to." "Does Dunleavy think much?"
Anyway, I asked for Lady Bridget, and found her down by the boat-shed. 'And we thought it would be cooler on the water, so he rowed me round the point. It was the most natural thing in the world that we should discover we were thirsty, and that we should come up the garden and ask your old woman to give us some tea. Don't be a cat, Joan. You never used to be grudging of your hospitality.
"Don't say any more about it." "But but I hope you and Miss Dott won't won't think " "We won't. I won't, anyway. I stopped thinking about it long ago. Well, Gertie, what have you been doin'? 'Most time to go home, is it?" "Time to go home? Why, Daddy, we've just got here. We haven't been here an hour yet." "Haven't we? I want to know! Seemed a good deal longer than that to me.
"Every one for some inexplicable reason keeps foisting a flag upon me. Pyotr Verhovensky, too, is convinced that I might' raise his flag, that's how his words were repeated to me, anyway. He has taken it into his head that I'm capable of playing the part of Stenka Razin for them, 'from my extraordinary aptitude for crime, his saying too."
Seeing no one that he knew, and his mind weighted anyway with the menacing mystery of the strange happenings of the night before, he sat down on a coil of rope, just in the lee of the forward smokestack, to think the whole matter over for the twentieth time.
"I was not thinking of taking them aboard when I made that promise," he answered. "And anyway, you'll agree I've not laid my hands upon them." "Far from it, far from it," he laughed a moment later. I made no reply. I was incapable of speaking, my mind was too confused. I must have time to think, I knew.
Much as I care for Reed, it was you who had the insight to plan how he could make his life over into something besides the bare existence we all were dreading. In the same way, I may be the one to take in the tragedy of Mr. Brenton's indeterminate existence, and make it just a little lighter, if only by my understanding. Anyway, I mean to try."
