She had "rubbed out" all opposition and, tugging lustily at Bradley's feet, had already dragged him almost to the side of the speedster. "'At-a-girl, Clio!" cheered Costigan, as he picked up the burly captain and tossed him through the doorway. "Highly useful, girl of my dreams, as well as ornamental. In with you, and we'll start out to go places!"
"Well, I think that right now's the best chance we'll ever have of doing something for ourselves." Costigan turned away from the absorbing scenes pictured upon the visiplate and faced his two companions. "But what can we possibly do?" asked Clio, and "Whatever it is, we'll try it!" Bradley exclaimed.
It'll wear off directly.... All right, I'm coming! Let go of him and get as far away from him as you can!" He was now in the street. Perhaps two hundred feet distant and a hundred feet above him was the tower room in which were Clio and Roger.
Far above, in the main saloon, the regular evening dance was in full swing. The ship's orchestra crashed into silence, there was a patter of applause and Clio Marsden, radiant belle of the voyage, led her partner out into the promenade and up to one of the observation plates. "Oh, we can't see the earth any more!" she exclaimed. "Which way do you turn this, Mr. Costigan?"
Old Clio ought to be represented with a sphinx's head, mutton-chop whiskers, and one of those padded bonnets which babies wore to keep them from bashing their little brains out when they took a tumble. Of course exactitude was impossible.
In 'Lys Rouge', his greatest novel, he traces the perilously narrow line that separates love from hate; in 'Opinions de M. l'Abbe Jerome Coignard' he has given us the most radical breviary of scepticism that has appeared since Montaigne. 'Le Livre de mon Ami' is mostly autobiographical; 'Clio' contains historical sketches.
"They're not, exactly," answered Christy. "I can't describe the difference, but you'll notice it by the time you're a sophomore. The Clio girls oh, they have more executive ability. They're the kind that know how to run things all-around, capable, splendid girls. The Dramatic Club is more for the stunty, talented, artistic sort."
He missed the window a trifle, but that did not matter his flaming Lewiston opened a way for him, partly through the window, partly through the wall. As he soared through the opening he trained projector and pistol upon Roger, now almost to the door, noticing as he did so that Clio was clinging convulsively to a lamp-bracket upon the wall.
Now, it was Clio Marsden's life. "Stand up!" he snapped. "Hang onto this brace and keep your face in this air-stream until I get a suit around you! Got me?" She nodded weakly, and, assured that she could now hold herself at the valve, it was the work of only a minute to encase her in one of the protective coverings.
And what a result! How they must have both stared! The general design of the plate was, indeed, pretty enough an oval containing the portrait, with a background partly of curtain and low wall or window- sill, partly of an Arcadian scene of trees and meadow beyond, in which a shepherd is piping under one of the trees, and a shepherd and shepherdess are dancing; and then, outside the oval, in the four corners, the Muses Melpomene, Erato, Urania, and Clio, with their names.
