Sir, said Sir Tristram, now is it time; this is all that I will desire, that ye will give me La Beale Isoud, your daughter, not for myself, but for mine uncle, King Mark, that shall have her to wife, for so have I promised him. Alas, said the king, I had liefer than all the land that I have ye would wed her yourself. Sir, an I did then I were shamed for ever in this world, and false of my promise.
He listened attentively and did not interrupt until Stanford Beale had finished. "That's big enough," he said. "I owe you an apology much as I was interested in Miss Cresswell, I realize that her fate was as nothing beside the greater issue." "What does it mean?" asked McNorton. "The Wheat Panic? God knows. It may mean bread at a guinea a pound it is too early to judge."
"Twenty if you wish," said the doctor cheerfully. "Won't you come in?" Beale was half-way in before the invitation was issued and followed the doctor to his study. "Are you alone?" he asked. "Quite alone. I have very few visitors. In fact, my last visitor was that unhappy man Jackson." "When did you see Miss Cresswell last?" The doctor raised his eyebrows. "By what right ?" he began.
This day fifteen days, said Palomides, will I meet with you hereby, in the meadow under Joyous Gard. Fie for shame, said Sir Tristram, will ye set so long day? let us fight to-morn. Not so, said Palomides, for I am meagre, and have been long sick for the love of La Beale Isoud, and therefore I will repose me till I have my strength again.
Give me a revolver, an' I might make out to hit a whale, if he was close enough, but not with one o' them." "Not much difference," said, Carlsen. "Any of you got revolvers?" No one spoke. It was against the unwritten laws of a vessel for pistols to be owned forward of the main cabin. Beale finally answered for the rest. "Nary a pistol, sir."
Partly," said the lawyer dryly, "because this block of flats happens to be her own property and the lady who is supposed to be the landlady is a nominee of mine." "And I suppose that explains Mr. Beale," smiled the inspector. "That explains Mr. Beale," said Kitson, "whom I brought from New York especially to shadow van Heerden and to protect the girl. In the course of investigations Mr.
"Yes," he answered, "and most anxious to hear a better account of your foot." "Ah, I hope to be able to walk soon," she said, holding out her hand to him. "What a charming man he is," Mrs. Beale remarked when he had gone. "There is no hope of his marrying, I suppose," she added, trying not to look at her daughter. "Oh, no!" Mrs. Orton Beg exclaimed in an almost horrified tone.
"Do you think you ought to be bad to ME?" The question was the more disconcerting that Mrs. Wix's emotion didn't deprive her of the advantage of her effect. "If you see that woman again you're lost!" she declared to their companion. Sir Claude looked at the moony globe of the lamp; he seemed to see for an instant what seeing Mrs. Beale would consist of.
This was the second source I have just alluded to the first of the child's consciousness of something that, very hopefully, she described to herself as a new phase; and it also presented in the brightest light the fresh enthusiasm with which Mrs. Beale always reappeared and which really gave Maisie a happier sense than she had yet had of being very dear at least to two persons.
At first he had regarded Stanford Beale as a smart police officer, the sort of man whom Pinkerton and Burns turn out by the score.
