He did not want to feel feeling only hurt and stabbed he wanted to enjoy, to take in, to discover to fling the wild energies of mind and body into some action worthy of them. And because he had no knowledge to show him how, and a wavering will, he suffered and deteriorated. The Dawsons, indeed, became his close friends.
Lieutenant Lascelles, on leave from his regiment in India, had taken French leave. When inquiry was made at the hotel, where dinner had been ordered by Mr. Dawson and covers laid for a dozen, he had just stepped out. No one seemed to know exactly where to find him. The hotel people thought he was with the Mr. Dawsons, and they thought he was at the hotel.
By George! what a comfort it was to feel one's self a gentleman again and to associate with one's equals. Ha! ha! how savage Sir Ferdinand is by this time, and the Commissioner! As for the Dawsons, they'll make a joke of it. Fancy my dining at the camp! It's about the best practical joke I ever carried out, and I've been in a good many.
We shall stand before the world nakedly confessed as the nation of hypocrites we have always been declared to be." "Cary," I said, "you make me tired. We cannot be too thankful that we possess Dawsons to counterplot against the Germans, and that personally we are in no way responsible for the morality of their methods. Come off the roof and get back to this most interesting affair of the Antinous.
"This here kidnappin' business, an tryin' to get money out of a feller's friends, most generally does wind up in a killin'," he said. "The folks gits to huntin' pretty hot, then them that's done the trick gets scared, and they wouldn't have no good place to put him, them Dawsons, and and," reluctantly, "a dead body's easier hid than a live man.
'You'll see after all our luggage, will you, ostler? says one of them to the groom, 'and whatever you do don't forget my umbwella! Some of the diggers laughed. 'Know those coves? I said to a man that stopped at the same house as I did. 'Don't you know? Them's the two Mr. Dawsons, of Wideview, great sporting men, natives, and ever so rich. They've some horses to run to-morrow.
Invariably, whenever she was touched by the realization that it was they who were lonely, they wrecked her pitying affection by comments questions comments advice. They immediately became friendly with all of their own race, with the Luke Dawsons, the Deacon Piersons, and Mrs. Bogart; and brought them along in the evening.
My godmother at this time was much occupied, her cousin, Miss Joan, having developed a disease which in time was to prove mortal, so she knew less of how much the Dawsons came and went, though she must have known it, for I've no doubt the county talked of it. We had been so sure that we would never admit the Dawsons no matter what any one else did, nor any persons who were merely rich.
"I don't think the Dawsons will let you go until they are sure of making themselves safe." "Do you know what became of our airship, Mr. Ridgely?" Dave asked pointedly. "No, I don't none of us do. Young Dawnson is pretty good in the air, but he didn't seem to know how to get off the water quickly.
My memory of the time after that seems to consist of nothing but a string of Dawsons coming and going. I did not know what to make of it. Surely the propitiation of the Dawsons did not mean that we should see so very much of them. They were alone now, their fine friends having gone back to London, and their being alone involved an intimacy which need not have been if there were a crowd.
