Both looked considerably the worse for wear, and the gaunt, hungry expression on their features, as the morning sunlight shone down upon them, declared in a language more adequate than words, that they were beginning to suffer the first pangs of starvation. "We cannot hold out at this rate much longer!" the elder Filmore cried, as he watched the bustle in the valley below.
All restraint thrown aside, the spectators surged over the lines and out on the gridiron, making a rush for the heated but happy home players. The record had been kept -a season without a game lost. Filmore swallowed its chagrin and went home. Dick? He had helped nobly to save the game and the record, but now he was exhausted.
This contest, against Filmore High School, was to be fought out on the Gridley field. "Your football season will soon be over, Dick," remarked Laura Bentley, one afternoon when Prescott and Darrin, on their way back from coach's gridiron grilling, met Laura and Belle on Main Street. "This season will soon be over," replied Dick "but I hope for another next year."
Filmore or her husband, and now our German courier, whose stream of thought rushed upon me like a ringing in the ears not to be got rid of, though it allowed my own impulses and ideas to continue their uninterrupted course. It was like a preternaturally heightened sense of hearing, making audible to one a roar of sound where others find perfect stillness.
The trio in the foothills were evidently quite alone. Alexander Filmore broke the silence. "Well, my gay Deadwood Dick, Prince of the Road, I suppose you wish to have the matter over with, as soon as possible" The road-agent nodded. "Better let him loose in the jaws," suggested Filmore the younger; "or how else shall we get from him what we must know? Take out his gag.
But the Fates frowned grimly on the marriage and on all things connected with it, for on the very morning during which Filmore Durand finished Angela's portrait, and before she had left his studio in the Palazzo Borghese, something happened which not only put a stop to the leisurely labours of the two lawyers, but which profoundly changed Angela's existence, and was the cause of her having a story quite different from that of a good many young girls who are in love with one man but are urged by their parents to marry another.
Some of the officers stationed at New Mexico were of a different mind, and one of them, Major Lynde, commanding Fort Filmore, surrendered to a detachment of Texans, who paroled the enlisted men, as they firmly refused to join the rebel forces.
This was the obtrusion on my mind of the mental process going forward in first one person, and then another, with whom I happened to be in contact: the vagrant, frivolous ideas and emotions of some uninteresting acquaintance Mrs. Filmore, for example would force themselves on my consciousness like an importunate, ill-played musical instrument, or the loud activity of an imprisoned insect.
Patricia had room for swift surprise. "Why, you never told me!" she exclaimed impetuously. "How strange!" "I imagine it slipped your mind," suggested Rosamond carelessly. "I am sure I told you. Come, let us speak to her before she sings. Mrs. Filmore has persuaded her to give just one song, and I don't know when she will choose."
Perhaps even then I should not have moved away, if the rest of the party had not returned to this room, and announced that they were going to the Belvedere Gallery to settle a bet which had arisen between my brother and Mr. Filmore about a portrait.
