"He is working on pearl formations," was the answer. "You have heard, I suppose, that there has been some excitement over pearl finds?" "Yes, I heard that away up in Maine," the boy replied. "It's exaggerated a good deal," the superintendent said; "but as a matter of fact, there have been a few good finds. Dr. Edelstein is studying the differences between oyster and mussel pearls.
"You've offered an outrageous insult to loyal men," said McMunn. "A mistake," said Von Edelstein, "but surely excusable. I have in my pocket at the present moment would you be so kind as to feel in my breast pocket? You'll find some papers there, and a newspaper cutting among them." Lord Dunseverick slipped his hand into the prisoner's pocket.
The old farmer never looked at him. He turned his face toward the stars and reverently removed his hat. In spite of his interest in the pearl work, Colin began to feel the strain of the steady and persistent grind required from him by Dr. Edelstein, who himself seemed absolutely untiring.
"We will not have Home Rule." "You are a curious people," said Von Edelstein. "I thought and even now you say " "That speech," said McMunn, "was made for an entirely different purpose. If you thought that we wanted a German Army in Ulster, or that we meant to fire on the British flag " "It is exactly what I did think," said Von Edelstein. "You're a born fool, then," said McMunn.
He laid his finger on the signature as if to convince himself by actual touch that it really was what it seemed to be. "You see," said Von Edelstein, "I am to be trusted. When you and I are fighting side by side against the cursed English, your enemies and ours " Von Edelstein was still smiling.
"But if you are not going to fight the English," said Von Edelstein, "God in heaven, who are you going to fight?" "Young man," said McMunn, "you're drinking beer in my ship, a thing which is clean contrary to my principles, though I'm putting up with it; but you're going beyond the beyonds when you sit here and take the name of the Almighty in vain. I'll trouble you not to swear."
His power as a colorist stood him in good stead again, and more than once he received a rare word of praise, feeling quite elated when, one day, late in the summer, Dr. Edelstein said to him: "I have much gonfidence in your golor sense, Golin."
Von Edelstein bowed, and sat down. "Ginty," said McMunn, "get some tumblers. And now Baron " "Captain," said Von Edelstein. "Well get to business. What's in them twenty-two cases that was dumped into our hold today?" "Ah," said Von Edelstein, smiling. "A little surprise. I hope, I feel confident, a pleasant surprise, for my comrades of the Ulster Volunteer Force."
"Gentlemen," he said, "between comrades in arms there is no question of payment. It is the wish of one who is very highly placed that your army " "But look here," said Lord Dunseverick, "we are not comrades in arms, as you call it." "Ah," said Von Edelstein. "Not to-day, not to-morrow perhaps. But who knows how soon?
"It iss of no use to think that a result iss right!" he said, when Colin betrayed a hint of impatience at performing the same experiment over and over again, scores of times. "It iss to know for certainly, that we work." "I really believe, Dr. Edelstein," Colin said, "that you would like to see this fail once or twice." "Of gourse! Then we find out why it iss a failure.
