He merely grunted and ate his breakfast in silence. He ate a great deal and ate it rapidly. Bos'n departed for school when the meal was over. Captain Cy helped her on with her coat and hood. Then, as he always did of late, he kissed her good-by. "Hi!" called Mr. Smith from the sitting room. "Ain't I in on that? If there's any kisses goin' I want to take a hand before the deal's over."
I like the looks o' that dog, and" drawing out a fat wallet from his hip-pocket "we'll make it a hundred dollars, an' the deal's done." As Dick subsequently explained to Captain Arnutt, two thousand dollars had been offered, and refused, for Jan's mother. "And I'm dead sure twenty thousand wouldn't buy his sire." But these figures were for private consumption, of course.
You may depend upon him, without reservation." "That's a big thing to know." "India has many good servants, but Bhanah is a rare man." The unquenchable fires in Roderick Deal's eyes began to feed upon some enigma in Skag's own; he endured it a moment and then interruption became expedient: "Does the monsoon come on schedule?" "It does." "What is it like?"
. . . An arm fell about Skag's shoulders. "Brother?" Roderick Deal's fathomless eyes drew Skag's and held them while he spoke: "We are leaving you to be alone with her at the last!" The arm gripped as he added: "You are to know this we will not fail you, now!" and he was gone. They were all gone. Faint tones of the fever bird, ascending, came from far out.
"Then when the deal's fixed up all the winnings will not be counted over by Mr. Hallam." Miss Deringham heard nothing further, and understood very little of what had reached her, while though unusually gracious to Seaforth she found him distinctly unresponsive. She, however, lent Miss Townshead a hat when they reached the ranch, and made no comment when Seaforth rode home with her.
Carlin had said that all arrangements must be made with her eldest brother; and some tone within her tone had impressed Skag with concern which amounted to apprehension. But when he walked into Roderick Deal's office and met the hand of Carlin's eldest brother there was a light in his eye which that Indian Sahib found good to see. Roderick Deal overtopped the American by two inches.
This is not my war and all I want is to earn the very generous sums I have been offered and get home. We are just off Port Elizabeth. I will go on shore and post this there. With all love. Deal's Central Hotel, East London. February 20th, 1900. DEAR MOTHER: We are stopping at every port now, as though the Scot were a ferry boat.
There was no need for her to inquire the way. She knew Waycross, the Carryl home, and John Deal's farm as well as she knew her own home in Sandy River.
The rift in this Deal's nature was emotional not physical some mad poetic thing, forever struggling in the tight matrices of a hard-set world. India was rising clearer to Skag; even certain of her profound complexities.
I think I'll take a look at John Deal's beehives." "His beehives!" "Yes." "What for?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know exactly. I was always fond of bees. They're so useful" she looked up artlessly "so clever quite wonderful, Colonel. Have you ever read anything about bees how they live and conduct themselves?"
