In spite of the Dons, about whom I troubled singularly little, in spite of my being ploughed twice for Mods., sent down from my college, made to become an unattached student, and only reinstated at Balliol after I had got through Mods, and was guaranteed to be going to do well in the History Schools, I can say with absolute truth that I was never anything but supremely happy at Oxford I might almost say deliriously happy.
A blue grouse was drumming deliriously on the top of a stately fir, and the morning sun drew clean, healing odors from balsam and cedar. The scene was characteristic of what is now the grandest and wildest, as it will some day be the richest, province of the Canadian Dominion.
If I should ever marry, Evan, I should be deliriously happy if I could find a man who promised to grow to the stature of your father." There was manifestly no rejoinder to be made to this by David Blount's son, though it pointed to another and still more painful involvement. What would Patricia say when the débâcle came? Would she lose faith in his father, and in all masculinity, in the crash?
Once only she had heard him say to her mother, "It would be a strange house for a child." Strange houses were her delight. In a strange house anything might happen. Always in fairy tales and wonder stories, the houses were deliriously strange. So when her mother asked her the question, Hortense answered promptly, "Yes, ma'm."
Rita, like a serpent, was charming him, winding her coils about him; she was crushing his bones, darting her venomous fangs into his lips. He was helpless, overcome. Vexation, fear, remorse, desire, all this he felt, in a strange confusion. But the battle was short and the victory deliriously intoxicating. Farewell, all scruple!
Sakr-el-Bahr thrust his way through the press in the galleon's waist; his corsairs fell back before him, making way, and as he advanced they roared his name deliriously and waved their scimitars to acclaim him this hawk of the sea, as he was named, this most valiant of all the servants of Islam. True he had taken no actual part in the engagement.
The hours of the new day, day, though seeming night, passed on and it was verging towards ten o'clock when she woke, raving deliriously. Her father, Sigurd, Philip, the events of her life in, London, the fatigues of her journey, were all jumbled fantastically together in her brain she talked and sang incessantly, and, like some wild bird suddenly caged, refused to be quieted.
They shifted from beneath it instinctively, but they fought deliriously on. And at that the man with the whip completely lost his self-control. He set to work to thrash and thrash the fighting animals till one or other of them or himself should become exhausted.
This was no night-task for any man, nor even for him who had forgotten how to do aught else. But the excitement of cutting out the Arangi had been communicated to his addled brain, and, with vague reminiscent flashes of the strength of life triumphant, he shared deliriously in this triumph of Somo by applying himself to the curing of the head that was in itself the concrete expression of triumph.
"Nothing must happen to him, you understand. He had been drinking, and and he was justified. I wronged him in Samoa, him and Mrs. Falchion." I nodded and put my fingers on my lips. Again there was silence. I sat and watched him, his eyes closed, his body was motionless. He slept for hours so, and then he waked rather sharply, and said half deliriously: "I could have dragged him with me, Marmion."
