"I didn't plan for that to happen," whispered Diana. "Nor I," muttered Orne. He shook his head. "Sometimes things can get into an awful mess!" Diana blinked. "Lew ... don't you ... like me?" He ignored the monitoring transceiver, spoke his mind. They'll just think it's part of the act, he thought. And the thought was bitter. "Like you?" he asked. "I think I'm in love with you!"
He was in haste to get his men out of the department of Calvados, and shelter them from the first pursuit of Caffarelli's police. At daybreak they crossed the Orne by the bridge of La Landelle, threw their guns into a wheat-field and separated after receiving each 200 francs. This day, the 8th June, passed in the most perfect calm for the inhabitants of Donnay. Mme. Acquet did not leave La Bijude.
Polly glared at him, looked back at her hands. "That part of the plan was scheduled to come to a head with this election," said Orne. "If they pulled this one off, they could move in more boldly." "You're in way over your head, boy," growled Polly. "You're too late to do anything about us!" "We'll see about that!" barked Spencer. He seemed to have regained his self-control.
The next day they took the steamboat down the Orne, intending to reach Etretat by way of Havre. Just as they were moving off an elderly gentleman under a large white sunshade, and carrying his hat in his hand, was seen leisurely walking down the wharf at some distance, but obviously making for the boat. 'A gentleman! said the mate. 'Who is he? said the captain. 'An English, said Clementine.
Fortunately I had my hooks and lines; so I cut a pole, and fastening my line to it, I succeeded in catching a few fish. "We lived there for two days on fish in that manner. The lady was sad and anxious. I tried to cheer her up. Her chief trouble was the fear that her father was lost. In the course of our conversations I found out that her name was Ethel Orne." "Ethel Orne?" "Yes."
Chilian begged her not to disturb the child's faith that both parents were in heaven. "Letty Orne, that was, might have been one of the elect, but sea captains are seldom considered safe in the fold, as children of grace. I never heard that he had any evidence. And 'tisn't safe to count on meeting them unless you've had some sign." "We must leave a good many of these things to God.
"Seeing that you have my ten dollars and are full of political information, perhaps you'll throw in free of charge who it is this town is going to send to the legislature!" "Only one thing has been decided on so far," returned the politician. "And, having no desire to rub it in, I'll let you draw your own conclusions." Mr. Orne had the door open; he dodged out and slammed the door shut.
Anything happens around you, we hear it." Orne touched the subvocal stud at his neck, moved his speaking muscles without opening his mouth. A surf-hissing voice filled the matching transceiver in Stetson's neck: "You pay attention while I'm making a play for this Diana Bullone, you hear? Then you'll know how an expert works."
For a moment, Orne saw that Stetson's suspicions could have basis in fact. Bullone might go to any lengths to maintain this luxury. Orne's entrance had interrupted an argument between Polly and her husband. They welcomed him, went right on without inhibition. Rather than embarrassing him, this made him feel more at home, more accepted.
