He hummed: La ci darem la mano La la lala la la. He turned into Cumberland street and, going on some paces, halted in the lee of the station wall. No-one. Meade's timberyard. Piled balks. Ruins and tenements. With careful tread he passed over a hopscotch court with its forgotten pickeystone. Not a sinner. Near the timberyard a squatted child at marbles, alone, shooting the taw with a cunnythumb.
There is no pet quite so fascinating as a baby; he would look into Jurgis' face with such uncanny seriousness, and Jurgis would start and cry: "Palauk! Look, Muma, he knows his papa! He does, he does! Tu mano szirdele, the little rascal!" For three weeks after his injury Jurgis never got up from bed. It was a very obstinate sprain; the swelling would not go down, and the pain still continued.
"Our contract is, to be conducted to Rome for the sum of twenty francs each, say 20f. and the buona mano, if we are well served. We must have from the vetturino, Giuseppe Nerpiti, supper each night, a free chamber with two beds, and fire, until we shall arrive at Rome. "I, Geronymo Sartarelli, steward of the Inn of the White Cross, at Foligno, in testimony of the above contract."
He learned so fast that every week when Jurgis came home it seemed to him as if he had a new child. He would sit down and listen and stare at him, and give vent to delighted exclamations "Palauk! Muma! Tu mano szirdele!" The little fellow was now really the one delight that Jurgis had in the world his one hope, his one victory. Thank God, Antanas was a boy!
It was not a distance of miles but of position of circumstances. The nameless little waif of the desert had become the daughter of Jefferson Worth. The child of the mining camp was Abe Lee. So when, at last, his work had brought him to Rubio City again he shrank from meeting her and had gone out on to the Mesa to look away over La Palma de la Mano de Dios to be alone.
"Negro tienes el cabello, Talle lineas hermosas, Mano blanca, pie precioso, No hay que decir en ti: Tu eres la mas hermosa, Tu eres la luz del dia, Tu eres la prenda mía, Tu me harás morir. "Que importa que noche y dia, En ti sola estoy pensando, El corazón palpitante No cesa de repetir: Tu eres la mas hermosa, Tu eres la luz del dia, Tu eres la prenda mía, Tu me harás morir Eulogia!"
The methods of The King's Basin Land and Irrigation Company in La Palma de la Mano de Dios were the methods of capital, impersonal, inhuman the methods of a force governed by laws as fixed as the laws of nature, neither cruel nor kind; inconsiderate of man's misery or happiness, his life or death; using man for its own ends profit, as men use water and soil and sun and air.
And of two men, he who fills himself with meat receives in him Vohu Manô much better than he who does not do so; the latter is all but dead; the former is above him by the worth of an Asperena, by the worth of a sheep, by the worth of an ox, by the worth of a man.
From his frightened looks when he got back, I guessed that he had not found "dodging the mano" such exquisite fun as he had anticipated.
'I admit the moment is not well chosen; but I have no friends to speak of. 'No more have I, said Julia. 'But don't you think it's perhaps time you gave me back my hands? 'La ci darem la mano, said the barrister, 'the merest moment more! I have so few friends, he added. 'I thought it was considered such a bad account of a young man to have no friends, observed Julia.
