Bring the book here, child! I haven't read aloud since you and I were alone before." Janet arose, and as she did so something dropped at her feet. She stooped to pick it up, looked a bit surprised and confused, and slipped it into her blouse. "What was that?" Devant asked. "My " Janet paused; "it was my mother's picture! I always carry it in my waist now. I dropped it." "May I see it?"
A huge room overlooking the sea! It has space left on the wall for a big picture, and Mason gave me an order. 'Go down to that heaven-preserved spot, he said, 'get the spirit of the place, and put it in my den. I don't mind the price. Stay down all summer, but get it!" "Do you think you can?" asked Devant. Thornly's gaze contracted.
Could any true love, even such stupid love as Billy might bear her, stand in the way? No; Billy would be the first to relinquish his hold upon her! With the calm, steady, waiting eyes upon him, Devant dared not urge his first claim of parentage. He would appeal to her reason. "This is hardly a question for you to put to me," he said. "I must see Captain Billy and talk to him man to man."
"Perhaps you like me at a distance, but object to my company?" "I object to some of them!" A wan smile flitted across the uplifted face. "Well, I am alone now;" Devant nodded cheerfully. "Alone and likely to be. I'm going to remain all winter, perhaps, Janet; you must teach me ice boat sailing and let me into all the other debaucheries of the place."
It seemed to him as if in another and an evil world he had seen that face. His heart began to pound fast and his tail drooped for a moment. Within an hour it was all to come back to him the terror, the panic, the agony of that far-away time. He looked up at old Swygert, who was his god, and to whom his soul belonged, though he was booked as the property of Miss Marian Devant.
"And the captains! where are the captains, my dear Mr. Devant? They seem to have omitted the captains to-day. Pray let us go at once. I would not interfere with Dick's future fame for all the world! I can quite understand why artists hide their best work at times!" Without a word, Mr. Devant dropped the curtain.
In the Indian bending so respectfully before him he sees, or fancies, the first link of a chain that may enable him to trace the fugitives. Manuel should know something about their whereabouts? And the ci devant mule driver is now in his power for any purpose be it life or death.
Yet one of the judges had himself wheeled his horse about and was galloping off, and Marian Devant had pushed through the crowd and was riding toward the bewildered dog. He stood staunch where he was, though in his ears was still a throbbing pain, and though all about him was this growing confusion he could not understand.
Eliza Jane was, perhaps, returning; or more likely James B. had an errand inside. Janet raised her eyes. From her nook she could see distinctly through the hall. The outer door opened, and in came Mr. Devant. He had apparently walked from the station, and was unexpected by the caretakers.
His mother thinks it very creditable to his abilities; though, being unacquainted with the French language, her judgment cannot be considered final. Ce rat ci est un animal fort singulier. Il a deux pattes de derriere sur lesquelles il marche, et deux pattes de devant dont il fait usage pour tenir les journaux.
