The magistrate could not help comparing him to a pointer on the scent, his turned-up nose even moved about as if to discover some subtle odour left by the assassin. All the while he talked loudly and with much gesticulation, apostrophising himself, scolding himself, uttering little cries of triumph or self-encouragement. He did not allow Lecoq to have a moment's rest.
"Fool of a bear man!" she said, apostrophising the individual she chose to call by that name "Here you come along to a wild place in California running away from ME, and here you find a sort of untutored female savage eager and willing to be your 'woman! Well, why not? She's just the kind of thing you want to fetch wood, draw water, cook food, and bear children!
It stood on the dressing-table, and was similar to that one which he had already seen in Whyte's album. He took it up with a laugh. "You're a pretty girl," he said, apostrophising the picture, "but you give your photograph to two young men, both in love with you, and both hot-tempered. The result is that one is dead, and the other won't survive him long. That's what you've done."
Of course it can't go on; but what in the name of all that's wonderful can I do to stop it?... Send for The Bear, and compel him to make the best of the awful fact that Meryl possesses a fortune, and console dear Dutch Willie myself, I suppose!..." And she smiled grimly. Then her face softened, and tears unexpectedly gleamed in her eyes. She brushed them away, apostrophising herself impatiently.
Robert of Cabane, Louis of Tarentum, and Bertrand of Artois were the first to exclaim, while the prince's tutor, furiously breaking through the crowd and apostrophising the various members of the council of regency, cried aloud in varying tones of passion, "Gentlemen, you have forgotten the king's wish already; you must cry, 'Long live Andre! too;" then, wedding example to precept, and himself making more noise than all the barons together, he cried in a voice of thunder
I think it was about this time that I finally lost control of myself, for thenceforward I was conscious that I was continually talking to myself in a hoarse, guttural croak, that even now I shudder to call to mind now arguing, now encouraging, now reproaching myself, until at length my ideas wandered away to all sorts of incongruous subjects; and by turns I detected myself laughing, singing, praying, apostrophising the sun, the clouds, the distant land, and even the spirits of my drowned companions, whom I imagined to be crowding round me and trying to drag me off the floating hatch.
Then he would look upon his ship, and, apostrophising her as a parent would a fondling child, continue, "Ah! your figure-head will be all the same when he has the command, and your flag will never change. You may double the Cape then without dread of a privateer; crowd sail beneath the great ship Argo, or be rocked by any land-breeze in Britain without dread of molestation.
After thus apostrophising the demon of my fate, I hunted up M. Ollivier and his young wife. In the former I soon found a very taking and active friend, who at once resolutely took in hand the matter which was my chief object in Paris. One day we called on a notary who was a friend of his, and who seemed to be under an obligation to him.
Smash away, old bait!" he continued, apostrophising with great exultation and self-admiration the river whose terrors he had thus so successfully defied; "ar'n't I the gentleman for you? Roar as much as you please; when it comes to fighting for anngelliferous madam, I can lick you, old Salt, 'tarnal death to me!
But you are too late, my hearties!" apostrophising the ship, now less than a cable's length from us; "you will be to leeward of us in another two minutes. Boy, bring me my glass. You will find it slung in beckets in the companion." On came the ship, near enough now for us to see that she was undoubtedly an Indiaman, and as undoubtedly British.
