Doloria turned to Monsieur with a glorious smile and, being nearest, received the first hug as the light of Tommy's reasoning burst upon him. Then he bounded up and hugged me; but Gates and Tommy ran away, the cowards, yet did a lot of laughing from a distance. And now the forward watch called something, at the same time pointing off our port bow. Low upon the water lay Miami.
Yet I swore with a burning rage in my heart that whoever of those fiends were left to gloat over their victory would remember until their dying day the price I had collected for it. "Where are they?" Doloria asked, in a voice that trembled slightly. The strain of waiting below was greater than that of seeing what went on outside.
The truth of the matter was that he had determined upon a plan singularly popular among pedagogues of watchful waiting; he had made up his mind that Doloria and I should not see each other again except in his presence. He may have told her this I rather suspected it. As we sat in the cockpit smoking, he became down-right obnoxious by excessive jocularity. It can be disgustingly overdone.
It was also clear to me, at last inerrantly clear, that Doloria and the little princess were the same. "Whew!" Tommy gave a whistle. "I feel as woozy as an old warped mirror! Did France offer a reward for this stuff?" "Certainement! And you drew it out! it is yours, my boy!" "Like hell it is," he laughed. "I move it goes as prize money to Smilax, Echochee, and the crew!"
He's got to be stopped, Doloria!" "Jack, do this for me, please?" she begged. Her lips were very near. "If we have to die, we will but I can't see you go out on that prairie alone I simply can't!" And I grew still. Soon I felt her hands upon my chest as she pushed herself up to look over the logs.
These tactics might successfully be repeated until the last barrier of trees, not more than twenty yards from us, was gained. But now a fellow showed himself a moment too long and I thought I dropped him, because a howl of rage went up from his mates. I was keeping the two rifles very busy by this time, and Doloria could scarcely load one before the other was being passed to her.
"Love's first tiff," he sighed, laying down the hammer and beginning to fill his pipe. "Love's what?" "Tootsie-wootsie tiff, I believe I said" this between puffs as the match flared high and low over the bowl. "You understand, of course, that Doloria gave the order." "Confound you, why didn't you say so! What's happened? Did a message come?" "Sure." He stopped smoking and looked at me.
I stopped and looked at her. "It's always the same, irrespective of tribe and nation. She's dauntless, world-defying, utterly self-sacrificing. I hope to God, Doloria, that you won't be among those who squeeze their hearts dry!
"Why?" she asked, her face turning slightly pale. "Because the minute those people get here you won't be my Doloria of the Golden Dawn any more, but Princess Doloria of Azuria!" She caught hold of my sleeve and gasped, a little hysterically: "But, Jack, suppose I don't want to be Princess Doloria!" Our friends had covered half the distance, and I hurriedly said: "You can't help yourself!
