It seemed to Harry afterward that he was in a sort of fever, not a fever that parched and burned, but a fever that made his pulse leap faster, and his heart long for the thrill of conflict. Often he sat with St. Clair and Langdon on their earthworks, and looked at Sumter. "I wonder when the word will come for us to turn these big guns loose?" Langdon said one day, as he looked at the cannon.
Do rouse yourself." Dartmouth got up languidly and walked to the window. After all, a new face and a pretty one was something; one degree, perhaps, better than nothing. "Which is she?" he asked. "The one in the next carriage, with Lady Langdon, talking to Bolton."
"Anyway, your idea is not constitutional, Langdon," continued Peabody. "You want everybody to have a share in the national government. That wouldn't meet the theory of centralization woven into our political system by its founders. They intended that our Government should be controlled by a limited number of representatives, so that authority can be fixed and responsibility ascertained."
Good-night, Jimmy!" "Good-night, Bruce!" Langdon was awakened some time hours later by a deluge of rain that brought him out of his blankets with a yell to Bruce. They had not put up their tepee, and a moment later he heard Bruce anathematizing their idiocy.
"This is my cousin, Sally Langdon. We just arrived I to make this my home, she to visit me." Steele smiled as he bowed to Sally. He was easy, with a kind of rude grace, and showed no sign of embarrassment or that beautiful girls were unusual to him. "Mr. Steele, we've heard of you in Austin," said Sally with her eyes misbehaving. I hoped I would not have to be jealous of Steele.
She followed him with her eyes as he passed from her sight through the door, and when it closed after him sobbed tremulously once or twice, but stilled herself, and met Helen, as she entered, with a composed countenance. "I have had a very pleasant visit from Mr. Langdon," Elsie said. "Sit by me, Helen, awhile without speaking; I should like to sleep, if I can, and to dream."
The next time I saw Langdon I was full of enthusiasm for Roebuck. I can see his smile as he listened. "I had no idea you were an expert on the trumpets of praise, Blacklock," said he finally. "A very showy accomplishment," he added, "but rather dangerous, don't you think? The player may become enchanted by his own music."
So you see Lauzanne is a bad betting proposition." After Langdon had left Crane's thoughts dwelt on the subject they had just discussed. "From a backer's point of view Lauzanne is certainly bad business," he mused; "but the public will reason just as Langdon does. And what's bad for the backers is good for the layers; I must see Faust."
Langdon, then at me. "I sent for you," said I, "because I thought that you, rather than I, should request Mrs. Langdon to leave your house." At that Mrs. Langdon was on her feet, and blazing. "Fool!" she flared at me. "Oh, the fools women make of men!" Then to Anita: "You you But no, I must not permit you to drag me down to your level.
For a brief instant she made no answer; then she said slowly and with a certain positiveness: "If I had I would have saved myself and you a great deal of misery." "And Langdon Willits?" "No, he cannot complain he does not I promised him nothing. But I have been so beaten about, and I have tried so hard to do right; and it has all crumbled to pieces.
