The plaza was swarming with a strange rabble of peons and soldiery; of dark, lowering faces, odd-looking weapons and costumes, mules, mustangs, and cattle a heterogeneous mass, swayed by some fierce excitement. That she saw none of the Excelsior party among them did not surprise her; an instinct of some catastrophe more serious than Mrs. Brimmer's vague imaginings frightened but exalted her.
Markham's self-satisfied face drew back in alarm and embarrassment at the unexpected apparition. The sight restored Brimmer's coolness and satirical self-possession. "I I didn't know you were here," stammered Markham. "I left Keene in your room." "Then why didn't you bring him along with you?" said Brimmer maliciously. "Go and fetch him."
"But that fellow played a warm one on me, and I want to pay him back." "I understand, sare, my ver' good frien'." Inside of five minutes Tony understood very much better. Still, the Greek saw no real harm in what he now engaged himself to do. That night Tony slept with Brimmer's ten-dollar note under his pillow. Dave Darrin slept as soundly as ever, unconscious of harm hanging over his head.
Just a few friends, eh?" Brimmer's eyes and lips slightly contracted. "I believe I am already invited," he said quietly. "Keene asked me. In fact, that's the appointment. Strange he didn't speak of you," he added dryly. "I suppose it's some later arrangement," Markham replied, with feigned carelessness. "Do you know her?" "Slightly." "You didn't say so!" "You didn't ask me," said Brimmer.
