Can't you understand? you have been tracked by the avengers of blood! and you may swing lingeringly, with a crowd of Christian boys and girls mocking round you, or you may shoot yourself in one painless flash. Which shall it be?" Isaac, again dropping a-heap, covered his face, without answer. "Well", said Frankl, walking away, "I can't wait all day. The detectives are at this moment downstairs "
"Well, how goes it?" asked the Jew. "There is a weight there which I can't lift", said Hogarth. "Then you must do the other thing. Don't lift it, and you don't get the pay. What weight is it?" "It is here". Hogarth led him, led him, pointing. Frankl kicked the meteorite. "What is it?" he asked. "It can't be a branch", said Hogarth; "too heavy more like a piece of old iron". "Well, slip into it.
Under that tree the prisoner had encountered the murdered man, whose Oriental dress on a dark night would give him a resemblance to Mr. Frankl, himself a Jew. The prisoner had then shot the deceased, mistaking him for Mr. Frankl, and had been found holding the smoking weapon, which he admitted to be his own. It was a painful case; but the chain of inference was not assailable.
Corresponding to an inward majesty, of which, from youth, he had been conscious, he now felt an outward, and had not been awake eight minutes when his brain was invaded by plans plans of debauchery, palaces, orgy, flying beds of ivory arabesqued in fan-traceries of sapphire, in which Rebekah Frankl lolled, and smiled; and on toward Thring he stepped, prince new- crowned, yet by old heredity, high exalted above laws, government, and the entire little muck of Man.
Why should two sharp old fellows like you and me, whose interests are identical, quarrel?" and instantly Frankl took note of that surrender, that weak spot, and knew that the man was his. "Well", said he, "so true two old gaol-birds like you and me, eh? So true, so true. But what beats me who runs Beech's? Hogarth is only a young farmer: he can't operate all the big things I hear about this Mr.
One day, as he so sat, the bell pinged, the door opened, and O'Hara jumped to find himself face to face with Frankl, who had come to see the new diamond king, in the firm belief that Mr. Beech was none other than O'Hara; and, "I thought as much!" said he. "Sh-h-h", went O'Hara bitterly "for God's sake! he is in there !" "Who is?" "Hogarth!" "Well, but " "Outside in the passage "
The next moment she sent forth a scream, the grip of Frankl on her wrist agonizing her bones. "Where are we going?" she cried out. "I gave you your chance!" was Frankl's fierce answer. "Let me get out! you must be a wretch to take advantage " He put his mouth to her ear till it touched. "Your nice Richard flogged me like a dog! I felt the cuts to the marrow of my damned soul!
"You see this gentleman here?" said Frankl to Margaret. "Yes", she whispered: "oh my!" "Well, it so happens that very likely you are going to live in the same house as him a big Palace with all gold and silver, where the King with his crown lives, and all. So while you are there, I want you to be his friend as if it was myself, and do everything he tells you, same as myself, in fact. Do you see?"
Frankl entered, peered upon the dead visage of the priest; then, the detectives being now behind the parlour-door below, with handcuffs, rose to run to summon them: but, to his horror, Harris was now before the door; he saw in the candlelight those eyes of Alfie fixed upon him: and he knew: before the least threat or movement by Harris, the Jew sent to Heaven a piercing shriek, his hour come....
In the midst of which it came to the knowledge of the Regent that the house of Frankl was making ready for departure. And now Hogarth rebelled against Heaven: self-forgetfully he did his best, and it returned and struck him dead: for what good, he thought, would his life do him, she always in Asia, he in Europe?
