Pelle stood still in the middle of the street. Damn it all, this wouldn't do! He must take care that he didn't make a hash of the whole affair. If these foreign workers and machines were introduced, a whole host of men would in a moment be deprived of their living. But he wanted to have a go at Meyer; there must be some means of giving the bloodsucker a blow that he would feel in his purse!
The red on the back of his neck grew deeper. At last the explosion occurred. "Louada Murilla Sproul, do you mean to say that you've had this thing in your fam'ly once, and was knowin' what it meant, and then let them three Shanghaiers come in here and shove this bloodsucker bus'ness onto me, and git away all safe and sound?
Ask it of wretched debtors in the prisons, of haggard toilers in the streets, of pale-faced women and lonely widows, and they'll tell you, one and all, that Jasper Gaunt is the harshest, most merciless bloodsucker that ever battened and grew rich on the poverty and suffering of his fellow men, and oh here we are!"
"One of them rich snobs!" said the laborers, grumbling; "all the laborers in town have to march out here so that he can pick himself the best. And he's beaten down the day's wages to fifty ore. He's been a navvy himself, too; but now he's a man who enjoys his hundred thousand a year. A regular bloodsucker, he is!"
But her babe will not be comforted; so a woman, to whose care he is committed, carries him into the forest, and sings the following incantation: "Little blue eyes, little red-fell, Come thou thine own son to suckle, Feed whom thou hast given birth to! Of that cannibal nought will he, Never drinks from that bloodsucker; For her breasts to him are loathsome, Nor can hunger drive him to them."
Then, quite after the way of Steve Packard, he slipped his hand into his shirt and brought out a sheaf of banknotes and tossed them to her across the table. "I'm not a bloodsucker," he said quietly. "Take what you like; I'll stake you to the wad." Terry looked, counted and gasped. "Ten thousand!" she cried. "Good Lord, Steve Packard! Ten thousand and you'd lend me "
Here you know where you are and if we went together " "No, there's nothing here for any one to do who is poor if I go on here any longer, I shall end in the mud again. I want to have my share even if I have to strike a bloodsucker dead to get it and that couldn't be any very great sin! But shan't we see about getting on now? We've been a whole month now tramping round these Sudland farms.
Unfortunately, I cannot say so much in regard to him who is to furnish me the wines and delicacies for the supper, and I have only one hundred dollars in my pocket. The other five hundred dollars I must send to that bloodsucker, that heartless creditor Werner. But must I do so? Ah! really, I believe it would be rank folly.
The one thing which seemed to have gripped her mother's intensest feeling was the part her boy had played. Her round eyes had grown stern, and her comely lips had parted as her breath came heavy and fast. At last she burst out with a curious mixture of anger and sorrow in her words. "Bone of my Silas; flesh of my flesh; an' to think o' the like. My Hervey a whelp of hell; a bloodsucker.
"You and Perlmutter must be pretty good friends together," Rashkin commented. "But, anyhow, I am perfectly willing to help you all I can, because when a feller practically calls you a bloodsucker and a horse-thief, Mr. Potash, naturally you don't feel too friendly toward him. But one thing I got to say, Mr.
