"I shouldn't wonder," she threw over her shoulder. "Being nagged at for fun doesn't appeal to me." "But what do you mean? I'm all at sea." She suddenly brought up short, and wheeling, faced him, her face lowering, her breath quick: "I'm the one to say that, for I don't get you, Boye Mayer, I don't see what you're up to.
Mark agreed grudgingly and then they left the Alston sisters, to work out the best method of discovering what took Boye Mayer to Sacramento and what he did there. Jim proved to be a young, and as Fong had said, "awful smart boy." Smuggled into the country in his childhood, he spoke excellent English, interspersed with slang.
The historie of the poore boye whome God stirred upp to confounde and deride the Spaniardes and Portingales, when they were devidinge the woride betwene themselves alone, is so well knowen as I nede not stand to repeate it. But it is the Popes manner alwayes to meddle, as in this matter, so in other thinges, where they have nothinge to doe, and to intrude themselves before they be called.
For a moment the place was noiseless save for the small, friendly sounds of the fire. Then she asked the woman's eternal question, "Do you love me?" "What do you think?" he said, surprised to hear his voice shaken and husky. "Oh, Boye," she cried and turned on him, clasping her hands against her heart, a figure of tragic intensity, "is it true? Do you mean it?"
Kirkham's box, while Chrystie was tossing in her strange bed, while Boye Mayer was packing his trunk, while Mark was thinking of Lorry in his room under the eaves, Garland, one of the actors in this drama now drawing to its climax, stood against the chain of a ferry boat bumping its way into the Market Street slip.
There's no coming over me any more with soft talk." "Then I'll not try it. Take it from me straight. I've come to the end of my patience. I've had enough of you and your exactions." "Oh, you needn't tell me that," she cried. "I know it, and I know why. I know the secret of your change of heart, Mr. Boye Mayer." She saw the alarm in his face, the sudden arrested attention.
There was a moment's pause, then the chair creaked under a movement of Chrystie's, and her voice came very quiet. "Lorry, do you like Boye Mayer?" Lorry, studying the effect of the hat, did not answer with any special interest. The Perfect Nugget had lost all novelty for her. He came to the house now and then, was a help in their entertainments, and was always considerate and polite that was all.
Thus warned away, Lorry and Aunt Ellen left her alone and made Summer plans together. Lake Tahoe for July and August was taking shape in Lorry's mind. July and August! Where would she be? Boye had said something about Europe, and at the time it had seemed to her the ultima Thule of her dreams. Now it looked as far away as the moon and as inhospitable.
If it ware a boye, they eyther brake the right arme assone as it was borne, that it mighte neuer be fytte for the warres, or slue it, or sente it oute of the country. If a wenche, they streighte ceared the pappes, that thei might not growe to hindre them in the warres. Therefore the Grecians called theim Amazones, as ye woulde saie, pappelesse.
This was very becoming and in sweeping draperies some of the evening dresses made over into tea gowns she was an attractive figure, her charms enhanced by a softening delicacy. The dark episode of her disappearance was allowed to rest in silence. She and Lorry had threshed it out as far as Lorry thought fit. That Boye Mayer had dropped out of sight was all Chrystie knew.
