Edd seen him too, an' we argued about what thet bar was doin'. He lay in a small open place at the foot of a spruce. He wagged his head slow an' he made as if to roll over, an' he stretched his paws, an' acted shore queer. Edd said: 'Thet bar's crippled. He's been shot by one of the boys, an' he's tryin' to get up. But I shore didn't exactly agree with Edd. So I was for watchin' him some more.
"Not yet," said Donovan; "the bar's too full at first for me. Padre and I'll come later." The others stepped off across the crowded deck, and Donovan pitched his magazine into Bevan's chair to retain it. "You're from South Africa?" queried Peter. "Yes," replied the other. "I was in German West, and came over after on my own. Joined up with the brigade here." "What part of Africa?" asked Peter.
The Bar's purty much cleared eout thet's so; but I'll soon hev' a cabin up somewhere; an' ye can jest run my shebang anyway ye like. Reckon I can find some nice woman to stay along with ye, fur comp'ny."
Thar war thistles, and cussed stingin' nettles, and briars as thick as my wrist, with claws upon them as sharp as fish-hooks. I pushed on, howsomever, feelin' quite sartin that sich a well-used track must lead to the bar's den, an' I war safe enough to find it.
On the whole, then, the performance was as creditable as it was charming; and the second verse ended. "A bar's rest, and then once more," whispered Dick. "One two three four." Pat! scatter, and a feeble groan! Then a voice from the open window a peculiarly clarionetty harsh voice, such as could only come from a very elderly lady's throat "Thank you! Very nicely played. Good-night."
'Pressure was so entirely satisfactory to the public mind, and seemed to make every one so comfortable, that it might have lasted all day but for Bar's having taken the real state of the case into Court at half-past nine. Pressure, however, so far from being overthrown by the discovery, became a greater favourite than ever. There was a general moralising upon Pressure, in every street.
Bar's knowledge of that agglomeration of jurymen which is called humanity was as sharp as a razor; yet a razor is not a generally convenient instrument, and Physician's plain bright scalpel, though far less keen, was adaptable to far wider purposes.
Without presuming to decide where doctors disagreed, it did appear to Bar, viewing it as a question of common sense and not of so-called legal penetration, that this new system was might be, in the presence of so great an authority say, Humbug? Ah! Fortified by such encouragement, he could venture to say Humbug; and now Bar's mind was relieved.
"Wot's that in your hair, Minty?" he said tactfully, breaking an embarrassing pause. "Bar's grease, father," murmured Minty, in a child's voice the grown-up woman, under that magic touch, having lapsed again into her father's motherless charge of ten years before. "It's pow'ful soothin', and pretty," said her father. "I made it myself do you want some?" asked Minty. "Not now, girl!"
One hand let go, and the thud of the highly elastic lux metal bar's return to its original shape echoed through the soundless room. These men of the twenty-second century knew what relux and lux metals were, and knew their enormous strength. Yet it was putty under these hands. The hands that looked like a woman's! The bar was again placed on the table, and the hands disappeared.
