The ticker seemed to set all other business aside and give its attention to the trading in Transcontinental. It was like a base-ball game, when one side begins to pile up runs, and the man in the coacher's box chants exultantly, and the dullest spectator is stirred since no man can be indifferent to success.
But in the past half-hour, for the first time in their association, they had come close to a serious break, and the soul of each had been chilled by a premonitory loneliness as definite as the touch of an icy finger. In the quick reaction they experienced now their spirits soared exultantly. They breakfasted in a fellowship such as they had not known since Barbara's marriage, the month before.
"That's me!" cries the Boy at Mugby, exultantly, adding, with an intense relish for his occupation, "what a delightful lark it is!"
He rolled it up at once, and with a strap cut from the horse's gear tied it on his back, after the fashion of a soldier on the march. "The first great treasure!" he murmured exultantly. "Now for the next!" He found in the same wagon, jammed under the driver's seat and hidden from hasty view, about the half of a side of bacon ten pounds, perhaps.
With a snort he went over, kicking up big clods of grass as he did so. Then he gave a shiver and breathed his last. "We've got him! We've got him!" cried Roger, exultantly, and began to caper about in his joy. "Just think of it, Dave, two elk! Isn't that something to be proud of?" "I think so," answered Dave, his face beaming. "I suppose the other elk is dead," said Phil.
"It still blows," cried the speaker, exultantly. "Citizens of Anchuria, give thanks to the saints this night that our air is still free." Thus disposing of Losada's administration, he abruptly reverted to that of Olivarra, Anchuria's most popular ruler. Olivarra had been assassinated nine years before while in the prime of life and usefulness.
Off through the darkness, out of the cow-yard, moved a mass of boys. "We've beaten them off!" cried Bart exultantly. "Yes but they're taking Ned with them!" shouted Frank. Only a few of the members of the nine heard what he said, so great was the shouting and confusion. Frank tried to make himself understood. He ran toward Bart, but several of the Upside Down boys got in his way and prevented him.
Here was an adventure from the gods a stubborn will to bend, the pride of a haughty young beauty to trail in the dust, her untamed heart to break if need be. The lust of the battle was on him already. She was a woman to dream about, "Sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes, Or Cytherea's breath," he told himself exultantly as he slid from his horse and stood bowing before her.
He had, I think, some vague notion that she might mean a pilgrimage to the Holy Well of St. Winefride in Wales; though, for that matter, why not to the Holy Well of St. Govor in Kensington Gardens? "A pious pilgrimage to the home of your ancestors," said Susanna. "The journey is a journey to the little, unknown, beautiful island of Sampaolo." Her eyes gleamed, maliciously, exultantly.
"It's my Injun, boys," he cried exultantly. "It are fer a fact, an' I'll show yer how ter take his scalp," replied Frank McCarthy the train-master, and he skillfully cut off the scalp-lock and handed it to Billy, adding: "Thar, thet is yer first scalp, boy, an' I'm willin' ter swear it won't be yer last, for Billy, you is ther boss boy I ever see."
