His attention was concentrated upon Bulling. He had his glass in his hand. "Here's to the Lane!" he was saying, "the sweetest little Lane in all the world!" "She's divine!" replied Foxmore. "And what a voice! She'll make Canada famous some day. Where did you discover her, Bulling?" "In church," replied Bulling solemnly, to the uproarious delight of his followers.
Iola's cry, "Don't, Barney!" arrested Mrs. Duff Charrington's attention. "What's up?" she shouted. "How's this? We're off! Bulling, what the deuce who gave orders?" Mrs. Duff Charrington for once in her life was, as she would have said herself, completely flabbergasted. At a single glance she took in the white face of Iola, and that of Dr. Bulling, no less white. "What's up?" she cried again.
Bulling might hold over him, by reason of his wealth and social position, but give him a fair field without handicap and see who would win out! "I was about to do myself the honour and the pleasure of calling upon you this morning." "Oh, indeed. Well ah come in." Iola was fighting fiercely her loathing of him. It was against this man and his friends that Barney had defended her name.
I could not see you last evening, nor can I to-day, and perhaps not for a day or two, because my face is disfigured. These are the facts: At the dinner, night before last, Dr. Bulling lied about you. I made him swallow his lie and in the process got rather badly marked, though not at all hurt. The doctor and his friends will, I think, guard their tongues in future, at least in my hearing. Dr.
Reading his opponent's face he knew that the moment for a supreme effort had arrived, and waited for his plan to develop. There was only one thing for Bulling to do. Edging his opponent toward the corner and summoning his fast failing strength for a final attack, he forced him hard back into the angle of the wall. He had him now. One clean blow and all would be over.
"My friends?" Iola threw her head slightly backward and her tone became frankly haughty. "Oh, I know your friends, and especially I may as well be plain that young medical student, Boyle, don't like Dr. Bulling, and might persuade you against this yacht trip."
She would not allow anything to stand in the way of her success. This was the first firm stepping-stone in her climb to fame. Once this was taken, she would be independent of Bulling and his hateful associates. She would go on this yacht trip. She need not have anything to do with Dr. Bulling, nor would she, for Barney would undoubtedly be hurt and angry.
But not that they cared, John Dowsett explained. Nor did they object. While in the dark regarding his intentions, of one thing they were certain; namely, that he was bulling Ward Valley. And they did not mind that. No matter what happened to him and his spectacular operations, Ward Valley was all right, and would remain all right, as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar.
Bulling, who finally, with bluff, good-natured but almost rude aggressiveness, carried her off to the tearoom. It took all the joy out of the day for Barney, and on his behalf, for Margaret and Dick, that for the rest of the afternoon Iola's attention was entirely absorbed by Dr. Bulling and his little coterie of friends. And this feeling of disappointment in Iola and of resentment against Dr.
Then handing the certificates to Albert he added, "Old Nick has been bulling wheat, and if he has been holding on to these purchases for the last three weeks, I don't wonder he has taken gas!"
