I woke up at half-past eleven and turned out the lamp, which had made the van very warm. I opened the little windows front and back, and would have opened the door, but I feared Bock might slip away. It was still raining a little. To my annoyance I felt very wakeful. I lay for some time listening to the patter of raindrops on the roof and skylight a very snug sound when one is warm and safe.
"I've got two hours' more row in me," said Gregory quietly. "By that time the men will have another hour in them, and at the worst we could manage another hour afterwards. Before then we must have reached camp." "Ah, what's that?" cried the captain as the boat struck something. "Bock," cried Gregory. "No, too soft." "Row! row!" said Mark. "It was a monstrous fish a shark."
We drove direct to the station where the Professor alighted. We took his portmanteau, and shut Bock inside the van to prevent the dog from following him. Then there was an awkward pause as he stood by the wheel with his cap off. "Well, Miss McGill," he said, "there's an express train at five o'clock, so with luck I shall be in Brooklyn to-night.
I not exactly I myself, but rather that impersonal je familiar to me through Maupassant was to be sitting at that table, with a bock before me, just as I had sat. Four or five short sentences would give the whole scene. One of these I had quite definitely composed. You have already heard it. 'Down below, the sea rustled to and fro over the shingle.
The whole ball, as you may imagine, was instantly thrown into confusion. Von Bock and myself we were then fellow-pages crept through the whole saloon in search of the garter. At length I discovered it. Von Bock perceives my good-fortune rushes forward tears it from my hands, and, just fancy presents it to the princess, and so cheated me of the honor I had so fortunately earned.
"No; I get up at noon, I come here, I have my breakfast, I drink my 'bock'; I remain until the evening, I have my dinner, I drink 'bock. Then about one in the morning, I return to my couch, because the place closes up. And it is this latter that embitters me more than anything.
Some of us may recall some great precipice rising above the foliage, which stands to-day as it did when we were boys, unwasted in its silent strength, while generations of leaves have opened and withered at its base, and we have passed from childhood to age. Thus, unaffected by the transiency that changes all beneath, God rises, the Bock of Ages in whom we may trust.
"Let 'em flood the country with bad work as well as good. It will educate the people, and the day will come when all good work will stand an equal chance be it French or be it American." "True," said Clifford, "Let's all have a bock. Where's Rex?" But Gethryn had slipped out in the confusion.
And after dinner, when Miss Winwood had left them together, he lighted a long Corona instead of his usual stumpy Bock, and discussed with Paul electioneering ways and means. For the next day or two Paul lived in a whirl of telephones, telegrams, letters, scurryings across London, interviews, brain-racking questionings and reiterated declarations of political creed.
He went there like flies go to a candle, and he used to sit down at one of the little round tables, and ask for a bock , which he used to drink slowly, feeling uneasy every time that a customer got up to go.
