Why aren't you you of all women brave enough, strong enough, big enough to stand by your words?" "Because I never said them. What do you think of me? Even if I did care, do you suppose I would say as much and to another man? Oh!" she exclaimed with sudden indignation, "let's talk of something else. This is too preposterous." "You never told Ferriss that you cared for me?" "No."
"Oh, well," answered Ferriss, trying to interfere with Bennett, who was filling his pipe, "I don't want your tobacco; this tea does very well." "I tell you I have eight-tenths of a kilo left," lied Bennett, lighting the pipe and handing it back to him. "Whenever you want a smoke you can set to me." Bennett lit a pipe of his own, and the two began to smoke.
Manning performed the arduous duties falling to her lot with a grace and cordiality which won for her the love and esteem of the official delegates to the Exposition from throughout the world. She was signally honored on many occasions and is one of New York's most distinguished daughters. Judge Franklin Ferriss, the general counsel for the Exposition Company, and one of St.
Ferriss came nearer. The horrid shouting of the wind deadened the sound of their voices; the others could not hear, and by now it would have mattered very little to any of them if they had. "Dick," began Bennett, "nothing makes much difference now. In a few hours we shall all be like Dennison here;" he tapped the body of the doctor, who had died during the night.
So I've written her. You'll see that she gets it, will you?" He handed the little package to Ferriss, and continued indifferently, and resuming his accustomed manner: "If we get as far as Wrangel Island you can give it back to me. We are bound to meet the relief ships or the steam whalers in that latitude.
Then slowly, her eyes fixed and wide, she went up to her own room and, without removing either her hat or her gloves, sat down upon the edge of the bed, letting her hands fall limply into her lap, gazing abstractedly at the white curtain just stirring at the open window. She could not say which hurt her most that Ferriss had told the lie or that Bennett believed it.
After breakfast and while the McClintocks were being loaded Bennett sent Ferriss on ahead to choose a road through and over the ridges. It was dreadful work. For two hours Ferriss wandered about amid the broken ice all but hopelessly bewildered.
"'M, ah!" murmured Ferriss, drawing upon the pipe ecstatically, "I thought I never was going to taste good weed again till we should get home." Bennett said nothing. There was a long silence. Home! what did not that word mean for them?
On the one hand was the woman he loved, and on the other Bennett, his best friend, his chief, his hero. They, too, had lived together for so long, had fought out the fight with the Enemy shoulder to shoulder, had battled with the same dangers, had dared the same sufferings, had undergone the same defeats and disappointments. Ferriss felt himself in grievous straits. Must he tell Bennett the truth?
Then he cried: "Attention to the roll-call!" Rapidly and in a low voice he began calling off the muster of the Freja's men and officers, giving the answers himself. "Adler here; Blair here; Dahl here; Fishbaugh here; Hawes here; McPherson here; Muck Tu here; Woodward here; Captain Ward Bennett here; Dr. Sheridan Dennison here; Chief Engineer Richard Ferriss " no answer.
