The little ferret-faced youth in the corner was Regie Colby, who wrote the Entre- Nous paragraphs in the Social Searchlight: the women were charming to him and he got all the financial tips he wanted from their husbands and fathers. And the women? Well, the women knew all about the men, and flattered them and married them and tried to catch them for their daughters.
"'Ere it is," said the little ferret-faced man, and stooped to pick up a cindery cube. He looked at Denton, then at the others. Slowly, unwillingly, Denton stood up. A dirty-faced albino extended a hand to the ferret-faced man. "Gimme that toke," he said. He advanced threateningly, bread in hand, to Denton. "So you ain't 'ad your bellyful yet," he said. "Eh?" Now it was coming.
Fifty and one guineas is my last bid for " The auctioneer babbled serenely on, and the Master followed his words, rather pale in the face now, for fifty-one guineas was a great deal more than he could afford to pay at this time, for such a purpose. The ferret-faced dealer raised the price to fifty-three guineas, and the Master bit his lip and made it fifty-four.
He looked down and saw his enemy clearly in the moonlight; a long, ferret-faced fellow, with a rifle hung on his back and an ugly crooked knife in his hand. The man looked round, sniffing the air like a stag, and then, satisfied that there was nothing to fear, turned and went on. Lewis, who had been sitting on a sharp jag of rock, swung an aching body to the ground and advanced circumspectly.
As the last, save one, went by, the keen eyes of the old lay-sister noted that her hands were clenched against her breast, that she stumbled at the topmost step, and caught her breath with a half sob. Behind her, moving quickly, came the spare form of the Sub-Prioress, ferret-faced, alert, vigilant; fearful lest sin should go unpunished; wishful to be the punisher.
Mind you stay, now, and no faint hearts. Mother, up with your heavy wet, and try suthin' short. I'm off!" With an ostentatious farewell, the excellent Blackey stumped off, and the four remaining revellers became staid. "'Ard times," said the ferret-faced man; "but we've 'ad one good night out on it anyways." "How do you make your living, may I ask, if that's a fair question, mate?"
For a space he thought of a headlong bolt for the security of the public ways directly the spell was over. Apart from the trivial consideration of his self-respect, he perceived that this would be only a foolish postponement and aggravation of his trouble. He perceived the ferret-faced man and the albino talking together with their eyes towards him.
With an enormous affectation of ease he walked down the vault and entered the passage of the ash pits, only to discover he had left his jacket which he had taken off because of the heat of the vault beside his press. He walked back. He met the albino eye to eye. He heard the ferret-faced man in expostulation. "'E reely ought, eat it," said the ferret-faced man. "'E did reely."
He remembered how narrowly he had escaped from Leslie Grey less than a year ago, and now that he had begun to burn his boats he was eager to get through with the process. The ferret-faced Chintz framed himself in the doorway. "My horse!" demanded his master. "And, Chintz, I want you to take this letter to Lakeville and post it with your own hands. You understand?" The little man nodded his head.
"I've heard something about it," said Mr. Manley, frowning, and he struck a match. "Who set this absurd story going?" "William Roper, one of the under-gamekeepers, sir." "William Roper? Ah, I know a ferret-faced young fellow." "Yes, sir.
