Early in the day multitudes of people began to collect in the street, growing in numbers and enthusiasm as the hours wore on, till, in the afternoon, the splendid thoroughfare of New York from Fourth Street down to the Cortlandt Ferry a stretch of miles was a solid mass of humanity; thousands and tens of thousands, doubled, quadrupled, and multiplied again.
It was shaped something like an elephant, but had ten or twelve times the bulk, being over forty feet in length, not including the long, thick tail. The head carried two huge horns on the forehead and one on the nose. "A plague on my shot-gun!" said Cortlandt. "Had I known how much of this kind of game we should see, I too should have brought a rifle."
The girls are handsome, dashing women, without much information, but rattling talkers, and so exclusive! and the young men, with a Piccadilly air, fancy that they belong to the "Prince of Wales set," you know. There is a good deal of monarchical simplicity in our heterogeneous society. Mrs. Cortlandt was quite in her element here as director-general of expeditions and promoter of social activity.
I believe in the verse that says, 'We learn here on earth those things the knowledge of which is perfected in heaven." "According to that," said Cortlandt, "you will some day be setting the axis of heaven right, for in order to do work there must be work to be done a necessary corollary to which is that heaven is still imperfect."
At first the travellers could not account for this, but finally they concluded that the centres must be meteoric masses consisting entirely of gases, possessing weight though invisible. "We have again to face," said Cortlandt, "that singular law that till recently we did not suppose existed on earth. All kinds of suppositions have been advanced in explanation of these rings.
We shall be friends." As the auto crept carefully away Cortlandt Van Duyckink felt an unaccustomed glow about his heart. He was near to being a happy man. He had shaken the hand of Ikey Snigglefritz. We are to consider the shade known as purple. It is a color justly in repute among the sons and daughters of man. Emperors claim it for their especial dye.
At the latter, Major Van Cortlandt became so hilarious, that he made a burnt sacrifice to his loyalty of his hat and periwig, waving the burning victims over the banquet table on the point of his straight sword.
On returning to the street, Walter Gale said: "I propose to take the next train for Philadelphia. You may accompany me to the Cortlandt Street station. Can you find your way from there to the Grand Central Depot?" "Yes, sir." "You will get there in time to take the afternoon train back to Arden. You haven't asked me what salary you are to receive." "I should like to know, sir."
He was rubbed, doped, soiled, and anointed with its flesh, hair, and blood, and that night, as they sat by their camp fire, Skookum arose, stretched, yawned, walked around deliberately, put his nose in the lawyer's hand, gave it a lick, then lay down by his feet. Van Cortlandt glanced at Rolf, a merry twinkle was in the eyes of both. "It's all right.
"More extraordinary than to find one's self on a Swiss lake, think you, my dear Mademoiselle Viefville?" "Non, non, mais tout aussi extraordinaire pour une Parisienne." "I am now about to introduce you, Mr. John Effingham and Miss Van Cortlandt excepted," Eve continued, "to the wonders and curiosities of this lake and region.
