The young man had been speaking impetuously, but he stopped as suddenly, for the senator was not listening to him. He had lowered his eyes and was looking with a glance of mingled fascination and disgust at Arkwright's hands.
Peter looked into the pans again. "Ain't you see whut it's all in?" "What it's in?" "Yeah; whut it's in. You heared whut I said." "What is it in?" "Why, it's in Miss Arkwright's tukky roaster, dat's whut it's in." The old negress drove her point home with an acid accent.
When we took up the study of Italian in order to be able to read Dante moved thereto by the attractions of the long volume of Flaxman's illustrations of the 'Divina Commedia' we had to "fall back" a good deal on Mrs. Arkwright's scholarship.
If he had looked he would have seen a face transfigured. "Well," he resumed, "I never forgot that tiger skin, nor what it stood for, after that day when Uncle Ben thrust my hand into its hideous, but harmless, red mouth. Even as a kid I began, then, to try not to run. I've tried ever since But to-day I did run." Arkwright's voice had been getting lower and lower.
And there's such a thing as being oversperitial; we must have something beside Gospel i' this world. Look at the canals, an' th' aqueduc's, an' th' coal-pit engines, and Arkwright's mills there at Cromford; a man must learn summat beside Gospel to make them things, I reckon.
Lady Mason did not understand this; but she would probably have passed it by without understanding it, had she not thought that there was some expression more than ordinary in Mrs. Arkwright's face. "Why peculiarly so at the present moment?" she said. "Because it shows that this foolish report which is going about has no foundation.
There was the briefest of hesitations; then, a little constrainedly, Bertram asked: "And you said you you never had cared for Arkwright, didn't you?" For the second time in her life Billy was thankful that Bertram's question had turned upon her love for Arkwright, not Arkwright's love for her.
Stanton did not attempt to introduce Arkwright to his guests individually, but said: "Gentlemen, this is Mr. Arkwright, of whom I have been telling you, the young gentleman who has done such magnificent work for the cause of Cuba." Those who caught Arkwright's eye nodded to him, and others raised their glasses at him, but with a smile that he could not understand.
Did you ever see such an awful, awful thing as that was to-night?" moaned the girl. Arkwright's face relaxed. "Oh, so that's what it is!" he laughed lightly. "Then it's only a bogy of fear that I've got to slay, after all; and I'll despatch that right now with a single blow. Dress rehearsals always go like that to-night. I've been in a dozen, and I never yet saw one go half decent.
Captain Malu's little finger, which was broken, had more inevitableness in it than Bertie Arkwright's whole carcass. But then, the lady tourists had nothing by which to judge save appearances, and Bertie certainly was a fine-looking man. Bertie talked with Captain Malu in the smoking-room, confiding to him his intention of seeing life red and bleeding in the Solomons.
