"She won't get lost with one," said Arnold, reassuringly, as they were separated by a cross-current of determined humanity. "She has three now, and they are all shaking hands at a terrible rate." Judge Donald departed on a tour of investigation, and returned to say that there was no chance just at present of their getting away.
They are anti-climax, recoil, cross-current; morally, they are repentance, penance; imagerially, the frozen North on the young brown buds bursting to green. What know they of a critic in the palate, and a frame all revelry! And mark you, revelry in sobriety, containment in exultation; classic revelry.
But on that point he was immovably reticent, and all I could conclude was that the strange cross-current connected with Dollmann's daughter had given him cruel pain and had clouded his judgement to distraction, but that he now was prepared to forget or ignore it, and steer a settled course. The facts I elicited raised several important questions.
He spoke half-musingly and with a little unconscious irony, and the boy, vaguely knowing that there was a cross-current somewhere, drifted. "No, of course not; he can have fun enough without them, can't he?" Lady Dargan here soothingly broke in, inquiring about Gaston's illness, and showing a tactful concern.
An enticing plan and a fair one, too, as against such adversaries; turning this baffling cross-current to advantage as many a time we had worked eddies of an adverse tide in these difficult seas. But Davies was Davies, and there was an end of it; his faith and simplicity shamed me.
The water being low, they were able to let their boats by line over the upper end of the Sockdologer with safety, but, in attempting to continue, the Marie was caught by a cross-current and thrown against the rocks, turned half over, filled with water, and jammed tightly between two boulders lying just beneath the surface.
Instead of which some perverse cross-current hurried him into the words: 'He'd be all right if you'd go and nurse him, Phoebe. 'No, not at all. They didn't want me and Mrs. Gibson, poor creature, was real glad when I said I was going. She was jealous of me all the time. 'I expect you imagined that. Phoebe's face flushed angrily. 'I didn't! she said, shortly. 'Everybody in the house knew it.
For a breathless moment they watched while it seemed that the great log with its gruesome freight must be swept out into the main current of the stream. Sluggishly it revolved, as upon an axis, and then, in the grip of a random cross-current, swung heavily shoreward.
He looked down at me, choking back his tears and brightening up, but just then the balloon ran into a cross-current, turned half around and lay over. This set him swinging back and forth, and he fetched the canvas another bump. Then he began to cry again. "Isn't it great?"
She was about to speak again, but the guide suddenly said: "You must get away. There'll be a change of wind and a bad cross-current soon." In a few minutes the two were bearing out none too soon, for those pumas crowded up once or twice within a fathom of their deck, devilish and devouring. But they wore away with a capricious current, and down a tossing sea made for Audierne.
