"Never explain, Jerry," Worth shut me up. "Your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe it." Cummings had stood where he was since the first of the interview. His face went strangely livid. There was more in this than a legal fight. "Yes, Boyne's a fool to try to help your case with explanations, Gilbert," he choked out.
Then, when he did turn round, it was too late. The knife she carried under her skirt flashed out and into Boyne's heart. He collapsed on the floor without a sound, save only a deep sigh. Stooping over, Noreen drew the knife out with a little gurgling cry a smothered exclamation. Then she opened the door again the side-door leading into the street-closed it softly, and was gone.
Thrash him, if you think fit." "Ay," said the farmer, "Boyne's Bank. I've been there already. He's absent from work, on a visit down into Hampshire, one of the young gentlemen informed me; Fairly Park was the name of the place: but I came to you, Mr. Blancove; for you're his father." "Well now, my good Fleming, I hope you think I'm properly punished for that fact."
He took the lead at the station, and got them a compartment in the car to themselves for the little run to Leyden, and on the way he talked very well. He politely borrowed Boyne's Baedeker, and decided for the party what they had best see, and showed an acceptable intelligence, as well as a large experience in the claims of Leyden upon the visitor's interest.
His arm dropped away, and he turned from her with a faint echo of her laugh. "Really, dearest, you'd better give it up, if that's the best you can do." "Yes, I give it up I give it up. Have you?" she asked, turning round on him abruptly. The parlor-maid had entered with letters and a lamp, and the light struck up into Boyne's face as he bent above the tray she presented. "Have you?"
And he would have bought one he had sealing-wax of his own and could have stamped it with the office-stamp of Boyne's Bank for that matter, to make it as dignified and costly as the vaunted red seals and green seals of the placards he would have bought one, had he not, by one of his lucky mental illuminations, recollected that it was within his power to procure an order to taste wine at the Docks, where you may get as much wine as you like out of big sixpenny glasses, and try cask after cask, walking down gas-lit paths between the huge bellies of wine which groan to be tapped and tried, that men may know them.
She joined her parents in ignoring Boyne's complaints, and continued to take credit for all the pleasant facts of the situation; she patronized her family as much for the table d'hote at luncheon as for the comfort of their rooms. She was able to assure them that there was not a Cook's tourist in the hotel, where there seemed to be nearly every other kind of fellow-creature.
"Momma!" she shouted, "Ellen isn't going to the theatre with that fellow?" "Yes, she is." "And you let her, momma! Without a chaperon?" Boyne's face had mirrored the indignation in his sister's, but at this unprecedented burst of conventionality he forgot their momentary alliance. "Well, you're a pretty one to talk about chaperons!
Should I have money placed in my hands, do you think and it's thousands at a time, gold, and notes, and cheques if I was a risky chap? I'm known to be thoroughly respectable. Five and forty years I've been in Boyne's Bank, and thank ye, ma'am, grog don't do no harm down here. And I will take another glass. 'When the heart of a man! but I'm no singer." Mrs.
How could he know that Boyne was an agent of the most evil forces in Ireland an agent of skill and address, prepossessing, with the face of a Celtic poet and the eye of an assassin? Boyne's object was to bring about the downfall of Dyck Calhoun that is, his downfall as a patriot. At the Breakneck Club this bad business began.
