"We think that foreign travel has widened your principles out a bit That's what we think, isn't it, Ginty?" "My principles are what they always were," said McMunn, "but I've some small share of commonsense. I know there's a foreigner coming on board the night, a baron and a dissipated man " "Come, now," said Lord Dunseverick, "you can't be sure that Von Edelstein is dissipated.
"I don't call myself that," said Lord Dunseverick. "As a matter of fact, my rank is not officially recognized, in England, I mean." "Ah, but here we recognize it I assure you, general, we regard the Ulster Volunteers as a properly constituted military force." McMunn had been groping in a locker behind him. He interrupted Von Edelstein by setting a basket on the table. "Beer," he said.
"Quit it," said McMunn. "Quit it when I tell you. You cannot kill the man with your naked fists, and you'll break the furniture." Ginty drew a long coil of rope from a locker. He tied up Von Edelstein and laid him, a helpless figure, on the table. "It's my opinion," said McMunn, "that we'd better be getting out to sea." "I'm thinking the same," said Ginty. He went on deck.
Von Edelstein stared at him in blank amazement Then very slowly a look of intelligence came over his face. He turned to Lord Dunseverick. "I think I understand," he said. "You do not quite trust me. You fear that I may be a spy in the pay of infamous Englishmen. But you are mistaken entirely mistaken. I offer you proof of my good faith. General, be so kind as to read my commission."
Did anyone ever hear the like of that a man refusing money that was due to him, and it offered?" "It's out of the course of nature," said Ginty. "They told you," said Lord Dunseverick, "that you could pay Von Edelstein, and he'd give you a receipt." "Ay, Von Edelstein. And where's Von Edelstein?" "He's coming on board this evening," said Lord Dunseverick.
Then a voice hit at his ears, and he looked up to see Sheila Corey only two places in front of him. "Mrs. Mary Edelstein," she was saying. The Wayne man nodded, and there was no protest. She picked up a Wayne ballot, and dropped it in the box. Then her eyes fell on Gordon. She hesitated for a second, bit her lips, and finally moved out into the crowd.
In addition to his laboratory work and to his share in the investigations of his friend who was studying the paddle-fish, Colin frequently took short trips up or down the river for Dr. Edelstein, the latter being anxious to procure measurements and other data on every pearl found.
When the word is given, and some batteries of our artillery land in Belfast to support your excellent infantry " "What's that?" said Ginty. "And a regiment of Prussian Guards " "There'll be no Prussians in Belfast," said Ginty, "for we'll not have it." "I am afraid," said Lord Dunseverick, "that you've got some wrong idea into your head." "But," said Von Edelstein, "you cannot fight alone.
A scientist of remarkable discernment, he possessed with all his broad views a marvelous capacity for detail, and Colin soon learned that the somewhat slipshod methods of a college laboratory would not be accepted by Dr. Edelstein.
If it is not too long just two or three pages, perhaps, I feel sure he would aggsept it. If you like I will go over the manuscript and advise you about it." "Would you really do that for me?" asked Colin. "Very gladly," was the reply; "but you will need a series almost twice as large as you haf now in order to make it of any value." "Indeed I'll complete the series, Dr. Edelstein," Colin said.
