Before Brimmer could utter a word Darrin pounced upon him, seizing him by the collar and fairly dragging him into the alleyway. Then, still gripping his astounded, dismayed foe, Darrin demanded: "Tony, is this the fellow who paid you to drug my friend? "The treacherous Greek has betrayed me!" was the thought that flashed instantly through Brimmer's startled mind.
It is a badge of shame, a certificate of disgrace, an advertisement to every miserable wretch who follows me with his advances that I have no longer the sanctity of girlhood, nor the protection of a wife." There was tragic emotion in her voice, there were tears in her eyes. Mr. Brimmer, gazing at her with what he firmly thought to be absolute and incisive penetration, did not believe either.
"You are two beautiful young patriots don't blush, my dear! endeared to each other and a common cause, and ready to die for your country in opposition to Perkins, and the faint-heartedness of such neutrals as Mrs. Brimmer, Miss Chubb, the poor Captain, and all the men whom they have packed off to San Antonio."
The midshipmen gave the departing one a whistled tune and furnished the drum part with their hands. That tune was "The Rogue's March." "Darrin, I hope you don't hold me in any way responsible for that fellow Henkel's actions. "Why should I?" asked Dave, turning and looking into the eyes of Midshipman Brimmer.
Besides, he may have heard of Mr. Brimmer." "As his last information was only up to 1792, he might have forgotten it," said Crosby gravely. "So perhaps it would be safer to go on the general invitation." "As Mr. Brimmer's ancestors came over on the Mayflower, long before 1792, it doesn't seem so very impossible, if it comes to that," said Mrs.
Brimmer and Miss Chubb into their state-rooms to consult their wardrobes in view of an impending change from the light muslins and easy languid toilets of the Tropics. That momentous question for the moment held all other topics in abeyance; and even Mrs.
Oppressed by dread, this young scoundrel was not capable of doing his best work at the semi-annuals. So Brimmer left as Henkel had done. The only difference was that Brimmer did not have to slink away to the tune of "The Rogue's March." "You're past the worst of it, now, mister," murmured Youngster Trotter, in passing Dave. "You'll win through hereafter."
Captain Bunker says it's because we are really nearing the Californian coast. It seems so odd! Mr. Brimmer wrote to me that it was so hot in Sacramento that you could do something with eggs in the sun I forget what." "Hatch them?" suggested Miss Chubb. "I think so," returned Mrs. Brimmer, rising. "Let us go below."
"It took you a long while to find out that Dave Darrin is white enough to shake hands with," laughed Farley, one day. "As I remember, it took you quite a little while, also, to find it out," laughed Brimmer. "I admit that I am slow at forming my friendships. But there's no mistake about Darrin, when you get to know him. He's about the finest fellow in the class."
But I swear to you that she shall take you, your children, and your friend to Acapulco in secret, where you will be free. You will join your husband; you will be happy. I will remain, and I will die." It would have been impossible for any woman but Mrs. Brimmer to have regarded the childlike earnestness and melancholy simplicity of this grown-up man without a pang.
