I sought Devoe before I did my pearl of the doorway, because I had learned a little of the game of war, and knew better than to strike for a prize before testing the strength of the enemy. A sort of cold dismay something akin to fear filled me when I had estimated him.
She threw him a shrug of contempt. Peter went away laughing. Kedzie waited a few minutes and saw that Mr. Devoe had come to sit with Zada. After a moment the music was resumed, and Zada rose to dance again with Mr. Devoe a curious sort of dance, in which she lifted her feet high and placed them carefully, as if she were walking on a floor covered with eggs and didn't want to break any.
"See Devoe about it," answered Mills shortly. He hurried away, leaving Neil with open mouth and reddening cheeks. "Well, that's what I get for disappointing folks," he told himself. "Only he needn't have been quite so short. What's the good of asking Devoe? He won't let me on. And but I'll try, just the same. Paul's had his chance and there's no harm now in looking after Neil Fletcher."
West through the winter, and, above all, fit Marjorie for college? And did not he need the social life? He was left too much to his own devices at old Mrs. Devoe's. Marjorie, her father with his ready talk, her mother, with a face that held remembrance of all the happy events of her life, would certainly be a pleasant exchange for Mrs. Devoe, and Dolly, her aged cat.
Devoe is going to tackle them with the police if they don't quiet down by midnight." They spoke in low tones as he again held her hand, while they picked their way among the extemporized shelters and uneasy refugees in the square. As they approached their own quarters she faltered, "I'm not very brave tonight, and I have long since learned that you are only too brave."
What I want to say, though I seem to be long coming at it, is, that I want you to see this gay life that fine folks in the city lead, at its best without any such drawbacks as it would have for you, if you were suspected of having ungenteel acquaintances, and so we shall none of us come to see you barring you should be sick, or something else happen to make you want us until you make a fair trial, for six months at least, of this life then should the beautiful, rich Miss Devoe like the old gardener and his family well enough to come and see them, she will learn how fondly and truly they love their Lilian."
She held the ensanguined head of Louis Devoe in her white apron. Tiny streams of red widened on her apron and dripped upon the floor. Her face was bright and tender. "Little things, indeed!" I thought again. "The head-hunters are right. These are the things that women like you to do for them." Chloe came close to me. There was no one in sight.
They left at the table a man in evening dress who smoked a big cigar and seemed not to be jealous of the two dancers. Some one among the spectators about Kedzie said that the woman was Zada L'Etoile, and her partner was Haviland Devoe.
He found George lying on a blanket by a small fire, and that all the others were either sleeping or resting. "I declare I hate to waken Dr. Devoe," he said, "but I feel as if I were going to be ill." George felt the hand of his friend, and sprang up, saying, "I'll waken Dr. Devoe with or without your leave." After a brief examination the physician said: "Why did you not come to me before?"
He was sure that her escort was keeping watch of his movements. Suddenly Barrow drew his attention to a man sitting alone a dozen tables from them. "There's DeVoe, one of the Amalgamated chiefs," he said. "He has almost finished, and I want to speak to him before he leaves. Will you excuse me a minute or will you come along and meet him?" "I'll wait," said Philip.
