He was reminded of his first venture, which was insignificant compared to this greater one, and as suddenly as the mists had melted, the uncertainty in his own mind concerning Savine's plan vanished too, and he saw that the contractor was wrong. What he had done for Bransome on a minute scale must be done here on a gigantic one.
James B. Coulson of the Coulson & Bruce Syndicate should look, was inclined to wonder whether his secretary had made a mistake. "I was told that you wished to see me," he said. "I am Sir Edward Bransome." Mr. James B. Coulson nodded appreciatively. "Very good of you, Sir Edward," he said, "to put yourself out at this time of night to have a word or two with me.
Bransome was quite unaware of the antipathy he had thus created toward himself, except so far as Sooka was concerned; and him he never employed when he had to go off to vessels or land from them, but always went in the other boat belonging to the factory, which was steered by a much younger negro.
Why don't you British dukes stop right back in your own country where folks touch their hats to you? Let me on to that lever." For at least twenty minutes, the two men tugged and panted. Then Bransome, the rancher, said: "The blame thing's either part of the out-crop or wedged fast there forever, and I've no more time to spare. Say, Graham's a hard man, and has been playing it low on you.
Bransome, as if glad to change the subject, asked: "Say, after you had fired the fuse what did you waste precious seconds looking for? If I wasn't too scared to notice anything clearly I'd swear you found something and picked it up." "I did!" declared Geoffrey, smiling. "It was something I must have dropped before.
It was curious how the Prince's sudden departure seemed to affect almost every member of the little house party. At first it had been arranged that the Duke, Mr. Haviland, Sir Edward Bransome, and the Prince should leave in the former's car, the Prince's following later with the luggage.
I stood and anxiously watched through a glass the boats at the steamer's side, and at length, to my relief, I saw one of them leave her, but as it came near I saw, to my surprise, that Mr. Bransome was not in the boat, and that it was not the one that Sooka steered.
Bransome and the woman, whoever she was, there was little hope. They had not had time to throw themselves into the sea before the boat had capsized, and their clothing would sink them in such a surf, even if they had escaped being crushed by the boat. Besides, I feared there had been some foul play on the part of Sooka.
"Do you mind," he asked, "if I come, too, and Bransome?" "Why, of course not," the Duke replied. "We shall be delighted. We have seventy bedrooms, and only half a dozen or so of us. But tell me is this young man as important as all that?" "We shall have to have a serious talk," the Prime Minister said, "in a few days' time.
On the contrary, I have carried with me always a definite and very fixed purpose." The Prime Minister and Bransome exchanged rapid glances. "That has been our belief from the first," Bransome remarked.
