Warr drifted before the storm, and found a harbour in the painting-room, whence he was blasted five minutes later half shipwrecked and wholly demoralized. But Darco was a general who could spare his forces, and three days before the play was announced for production he addressed his army: 'Laties and chentlemen, I nefer pelieve in worrying peoples. You haf all done noply.
The vehicle rumbled along for some three-quarters of an hour, and pulled up in a shabby side-way strewn with cabbage-leaves and all manner of decaying vegetable offal Darco rolled out of the brougham, and plunged with a waddling swiftness into a narrow, ill-lit passage which smelt of escaping gas.
Every man in the profession had a more or less plausible imitation of old Darco's 'leedle beguliaridies. He was as well known as the Strand, and loved and hated as few men are. 'I treated Darco very badly, said Paul. 'I can't rest under that sort of obligation to him. How much did he pay? 'You'd better ask the doctor. Paul asked the doctor next time he saw him, but elicited nothing.
And the little soft-spoken lady from New Orleans, whose husband had been a General in Del Oro and an old friend of Darco's in his campaigning days. And the execution in the house. And Darco signing a cheque for twice the amount claimed, and blubbering like a great fat baby, and swearing to burn the cheque if she thanked him by another word.
You must sday vith me in the zame lotchings. This meant that Darco paid his whole expenses, and that his salary came to him each week intact. He began to save money and to develop at the same time an inexpensive dandyism. He took to brown velveteen and to patent leather boots. He bought a secondhand watch at a pawnbroker's, but disdained a chain.
'The best in Paris! cried Paul gaily, though he had to blow his nose and to cry 'Hem! to clear his throat, the sight, of old Darco touched his heart so. 'Gome along, then, said Darco, and rolled off sturdily like a barrel on barrels in the direction of the Boulevards. 'Rue Gasdilione, he said, playing guide as he walked along. 'Blace Fendôme. Golumn Fendôme. Rue de la Baix.
'You said distinctly, said Pauer, "gild the boots that lace the golden legs." 'Ferry well, said Darco. 'I zay zo. Vot are you talking apout? Pauer looked at his watch. 'I must settle up and march, George, he said 'If you carry that business through, let me know. I'm willing to join.
'Mark my vorts, said Darco, as they rolled along the country road towards the station at which they were to intercept the northward travelling Malle des Indes, 'you are dravelling to vame ant vorchune. 'Well,'said Paul, 'that's pleasant to know, isn't it, old Darco? 'It is very bleasant, returned Darco. 'You ant I are an iteal gouple. We fit each other like the two halves of a pear.
He got ub, ant he took me py the shoulders begause he was glad to see me, and he said, "My tear Dargo, you are wet"; and I said: "You would be wet if you had slept in the rain in St Chames's Bank." 'You've had hard times, old Darco? 'I have had a million dollars. I haf had nothings. Once I sdole a loaf.
He signed this document with a great sprawling flourish, and Darco and Paul having appended their names to it also, Mr. Warr wrote the date of the transaction across the receipt stamp, and handed the paper to his employer with a solemn bow.
