"I wouldn't insure his life for five cents," returned the other with conviction. "Your editor is crazy-mad over this Mrs. Eyre. So there you have him delivered, shorn and helpless, and Delilah doesn't even suspect that she's acting as our agent." Marrineal's eyes fixed themselves in a lifeless sort of stare upon a far corner of the ceiling.
"Well, be sure and order that powder," shouted Denver after him. "And say, I'll want the rest of those ore-sacks." "All right," replied Bunker and Denver turned to the house where Drusilla was waiting on the porch. "Did you hear the news?" she asked dancing ecstatically to and fro; as if she were a Delilah, leading the Philistine maidens in the "Spring Song," and he were another Samson.
"But what, then, shall we do?" cried Ophelia, wringing her hands in despair. "It is a terrible problem," said Cleopatra, anxiously; "and yet it does seem as if our woman's instinct ought to show us some way out of our trouble." "The Committee on Treachery," said Delilah, "has already suggested a chafing-dish party, with Lucretia Borgia in charge of the lobster Newberg."
The latter guessed what was being said, and laughed as she met the serious and tender gaze of her lover the low and triumphant laugh of a careless woman who sees she is winning her game. They sat and looked round the room, and at the picture of Samson and Delilah which hung on the wall, and at the circular beer-stains on the table, and at the spittoons underfoot filled with sawdust.
"There was not much of Delilah in that fury who felled me with a mallet, colonel," Malcolm laughed; "however, I will be careful in future, and will not give them a chance." "Ah! it may come in another form next time, Malcolm," Munro said; "this time it was an old woman, next time it may be a young one. Beware, my boy! they are far the most dangerous, innocent though they may look."
"Were you in that picture of the falling wall?" asked Beth. "No. We were rehearsing for 'Samson and Delilah. But sometimes we are called upon to do curious things. One night, not long ago, a big residence burned down in the foothills back of our hotel.
Learning, however, would be too apt to fall asleep, and be shorn of its strength on the Delilah lap of such splendid luxury. A few of the most interesting books and manuscripts are now contained in two handsome cabinets placed in the centre of the Great Hall of the library. These cabinets have two cases, an outer and an inner one, and are carefully double-locked.
At any rate, they undertake the lighter menial duties of some household where they are not known, and, having stooped if stooping it is to be considered to lowly offices, no born and bred servants are more faithful to all their obligations. You must not suppose she was christened Delilah. Any of our ministers would hesitate to give such a heathen name to a Christian child.
Of course, one easily understands how these qualities may have arisen, since "fraud is the force of weak natures," and woman has always been driven to supplement her weakness with tact, from the days of Jael and Delilah down to the present day adventuress. These qualities of mind naturally drive women to literary interests which are concrete, personal and emotional.
Madame Hulot's eye fell on a print of the group of "Delilah" by Count Steinbock, under which were the words, "The property of Madame Marneffe." The very first lines of the article, signed V., showed the talent and friendliness of Claude Vignon. "Poor child!" said the Baroness.
