For one thing, a bump which muddles a man's common sense is very likely to muddle his memory. And so, for the life of me, I can't seem to conjure up a desirable form of address from you to me except Philip. And Philip," he added humbly, "isn't really such a bad sort of name after all." There was the whir and flash of a bird's wing in the forest the color of Diane's cheek.
"Y-yes, sir," said Baird. He held Diane's hand fast. "It'll be months before we get back to port, sir. And it's normally against regulations, but under the circumstances ... would you mind ... as skipper ... marrying Lieutenant Holt and me?" The skipper snorted. Then he said almost almost amiably; "Hm-m-m. You've both done very well, Mr. Baird. Yes.
At his appearance Derek relinquished Diane's hands, and Diane herself was so astonished that she stepped plainly into view. Not less astonished than herself, Bienville stopped stock-still, looked at her, looked into the room behind her, looked at Derek with a long, half-amused, comprehending stare, lifted his hat gravely, and passed on. When he had gone there was a minute of dead silence.
She would have managed it better than I. As it was, she made my bit of help superfluous." "I should find it hard to credit that," he said, twisting his fingers nervously. "You won't when I tell you." In the quiet, unaccentuated manner in which she had given her own share in the action she gave Diane's.
In doing it he had the same sort of frenzied satisfaction as in defacing Diane's image in his heart. "You shall not," he said, at last. "I don't understand how you're going to stop me." "I must ask you to be patient and see. You can make a beginning to-day, by staying at home from the Thoroughgoods'. That will be enough for the minute."
Bayford had already played a part in Diane's drama, and was now, presumably, about to enter on the scene again. Miss Lucilla drew back, so as to be out of sight, while keeping her visitors in view.
None the less was it necessary to find a way in which to come to Diane's immediate relief; and by the time he had finished his cigar he thought he had discovered it. "Having been obliged to run up to town," he explained, when she had received him in the little hotel parlor, "I've dropped in to tell you that I'm going away for a few weeks into Canada."
They wavered for a moment, and then came on a third time. One man went down, but someone sprang to my sword arm and pulled me forward. I tripped over something, and came to my knees, and as I did so the mob went over me like a wave, and I heard Diane's voice and its shrill note of agony.
As I had to go after these two men it was a foregone conclusion about Wright. It was premeditated. I have no excuse." "Hush Tell me, if you confronted them, drew on them, then you had a chance to kill my uncle?" "Yes. I could have done it easily." "Why, then, didn't you?" "It was for Diane's sake. I'm afraid I didn't think of you. I had put you out of my mind."
Now whether or not the hurry and excitement of rising in these somewhat frictional circumstances brought on a recurrence of the nomad's singular disease, Diane did not know, but certainly he staggered and fell back, faint and moaning by the fire, thereby arousing an immediate commotion. Philip grimly took his pulse and met Diane's sympathetic glance with one of honest indignation.
