"Communication is a science!" he had said, and that was all the comment there was on the incident. So now, I followed my cue, without knowing why, nor what it was all about, but confident that I should soon find out. By noon I was on the bus, on my way through the pass, to meet the vehicle from Washington.
My cue is to turn into the Irishman's echo, which always returned for his "How d'ye do?" a "Pretty well, thank you." I cling to the skirts of that member of the party who is agreed to have the best taste and echo his responses an octave higher. If he sighs at the end of a song, I bring out my pocket-handkerchief. If he says "charming," I murmur "delicious."
This fair land seems like the realization of some old, dimly remembered dream of mine. How does it all come about, I wonder?" Sultan of Tozeur that gave me the cue, and I hazarded the guess that he had inherited his tastes from certain old rovers and conquerors of the northern seaboard. "True," he said, "our family comes from Normandy, though we have lived in Paris for two generations.
The candle was positioned just right, and even as she thought of these things sacredly shameful to her, he was pleasuring in the transparent pinkiness of her ear. She noted his eye, took the cue, and turned her head till the clean profile of the face was presented. Not the least was that profile among her virtues.
"Come on, that's our cue!" shouted one, as the band struck up a new tune. "I I can't run. I'm too fat." "We'll help you." And they did. With a clown on either side of him, Teddy was rushed through the silk curtains and out past the bandstand, his feet scarcely touching the ground. Part of the time the clowns were half dragging him, and at other times carrying him.
"My friend here refuses to play until he has seen something of the country. He knows that the golfer's vision is bounded by the nearest bunker." Handyside took the cue. "That's the exact position, Miss Forbes," he said. "I was warned by the horrible experience of a friend of mine. He left Newark, N. J., on a sightseeing tour of Europe, but unfortunately took his clubs with him.
It was not from her that they took their cue, but and this was what in particular made her sit up from each other; and with a depth of unanimity, an exact coincidence of inspiration that, when once her attention had begun to fix it, struck her as staring out at her in recovered identities of behaviour, expression and tone.
"You play almost as pretty a game as Stephen Siward used to play," said O'Hara cordially. "You've something of his cue movement something of his infernal facility and touch. Hasn't he, Fleetwood?" "I wish Siward were back here," said Fleetwood thoughtfully, returning his cue to his own rack. "I wonder what he does with himself where he keeps himself all the while?
"It is nothing." The game went on a while longer, when Gaston suddenly turned as white as a sheet, and, throwing down his cue, strode toward the table which was occupied by five young men, playing dominoes and drinking wine. He addressed the eldest of the group, a handsome man of twenty-six, with fierce-looking eyes, and a heavy black mustache, named Jules Lazet.
"Look here, fellow," exclaimed Major Jeffrey, bringing the cue down on the table with a force that must have cut the cloth, "do you suppose that I have nothing better to do than to stand here to listen to your fool harangue?" The anger and the drink and perhaps the consciousness of being in the wrong were all ablaze in the Major's eyes.
