Above all, it contains what I believe to be the three finest specimens of Aztec decorative art which exist in the world. There are two kinds of Aztec articles in Mr. Christy's collection which I did not observe either at Mexico or Heidelberg.
Here, miss, in the room, readying it, I am. CHRISTY GALLAGHER'S voice heard calling, Biddy! Biddy Doyle! Biddy, girl! What's come o' that girl, that always out o' the way idling, when wanted? Plague take her! Biddy. Saints above! hear him now! But I scorn to answer. Screaming louder in mingled voices, CHRISTY'S and Miss GALLAGHER'S, Biddy! Biddy Doyle! Biddy, girl! Christy.
Masters had protested hotly against Christy's withdrawal from the play, but the new Antonio was proving herself a great success and even Mr. Masters had to admit that the whole play had gained decidedly the minute that the actors had dropped their other outside interests. But the great difference was in the spirit of good-fellowship that prevailed everywhere.
He could not remember where he lived, except that it was ten minutes' walk from Christy's Minstrels; nor had he the slightest idea what the two men talked about, except that Armstrong had promised to hold somebody's hand, and that Gustav had tried to kiss him by way of recompense. Captain Oliphant chose to take a very serious view of this disclosure.
As Christy's plan was not in order, would be inutile, the business of the visitors at the islands was finished. Both of them slept till very late in the morning, and after breakfast lay down again and slept all the forenoon. The young man was afraid to go out of the hotel in the afternoon, fearful that he might meet his uncle.
Christy's museum, some are unmistakably of Central American origin, and some as certainly Mexican; but beside these, there are many which both their owner and myself, though we had handled hundreds of such things, were obliged to leave on the debatable ground between the two classes. So much for the resemblances. But the differences are of much greater weight.
The negroes, as they came nearer, suggested only Christy's Minstrels, of whom they were a tolerably faithful imitation, while the cocoa-nut-trees transported us to the Boston in Ravel-time, and we strained our eyes to see the wonderful ape, Jocko, whose pathetic death, nightly repeated, used to cheat the credulous Bostonians of time, tears, and treasure.
They drew Christy's and were beaten by an innings. Gordon made eleven and fifteen, and was missed three times while making them. Foster, however, got a very sturdy thirty-three not out, and took three wickets. He got his House cap. Gordon was furious, and swore that he was jolly well not going to try any more that term.
Vapoor, chief engineer of the Bellevite," said the executive officer, presenting Christy's greatest crony on earth, for he had held back in deference to his superior officer.
Besides his son, the former owner of the Bellevite was acquainted with only two persons on board of the Bronx, Sampson, the engineer, and Flint, the acting first lieutenant, both of whom had served on board of the steam yacht. Christy's father gave them a hearty greeting, and both were as glad to see him as he was to greet them.
