My own idea was that he wanted a reputation so that he could pose as a devil of a fellow with certain people ashore. It is easy enough to see that even a more careful man than Sam Hollis might take a chance for a smile from a woman like Minnie Arkell. Anyhow, I never felt at home with Hollis, and so was willing to take Clancy's judgment straight.
She had been up since seven, speeding the parting guests and interviewing the cook and chambermaid. Mrs. Clancy's choice had been cheerful to a degree, and black, all of it; a fat Virginia cook, a slim young Tuskegee chambermaid of a pale saddle-color, and a shiny brown outdoor man who came from nowhere in particular, but was very useful now he was here.
I suppose she received much attention." Mara purposely turned her back on Ella, and busied herself in the further part of the kitchen. She had heard rumors of Clancy's attention to the fair Northerner, and she both dreaded and hoped to have them verified. "Anything," she sighed, "oh, anything which will break his hold upon my heart!"
This is bad enough at best, but far worse when hands are half paralyzed by pride and timidity as well as ignorance. The desperate truth, however, stared them in the face. Do something they must, and that speedily. They were contemplating the future in a hopeless sort of dread and perplexity on the evening when Aunt Sheba and young Clancy's thoughts were drawn toward them in such deep solicitude.
He had had all the advantage so far and with good generalship could still win on points if he fought his own battle and not Clancy's. But would he? I knew what Flynn was saying to him, what he was warning him against. I had heard the warning often in the bouts at the Manor. I glanced at Clancy's corner. There was anxiety there.
"So you enter gentlemen's houses as their guest and spend your time sneaking about reading their private correspondence?" An angry gleam appeared in Clancy's eye and he rose to his feet. "I did not come to your house as your guest. I came on business for Colonel Gaylord. Now that my business is completed I will make my report to him and go." Radnor rose also.
A table was between them, and upon the table was a battered satchel of small dimensions. Katz reached for Clancy's arm and gave it a quick pressure. "That's the grip with the money!" he whispered. "What's the reason we can't get hold of it?" "We've got to get hold of it, somehow," returned Clancy. "Suppose you go aft and yell for Hogan?
I'm like Dave Warner in that I'm going to sea too." "But nobody's driving you away." She had her eyes on Clancy's face then. He didn't look up only stared into his glass. She was silent for a full minute. Clancy said nothing. "Nobody's driving you away," she said again. At that Clancy looked at her.
At any rate, there is a touch of coarseness in this masculine persiflage which grates. When I return we must become friends as man and woman. I wonder if she will feel as I do about it?" Miss Ainsley was not satisfied with the letter at all, one reason being that it revealed too much penetration on Clancy's part. While she welcomed him with her old cordiality she took him to task at once.
The family is filibusterers by birth, and foreigners by trade. If you can use James Clancy's arms and his blood in denudin' your shores of the tyrant's yoke they're yours to command. "General De Vega was overcome with joy to confiscate my condolence of his conspiracies and predicaments. He tried to embrace me across the table, but his fatness, and the wine that had been in the bottles, prevented.
