And I, who hated him as a child, as a girl I am almost too ashamed to let him take command and untangle for us, with those knotted, steel-sinewed fingers of his, the wretched, tangled mess that has coiled around Scott and me. "Surely, this man Klawber is a very great villain; and it seems that Mr. Skelton and the wretched Flack creature are little less.
Don't be afraid!" broke in high derision from Mme. de Cliche. "Did HE send you the paper?" her young friend went on to Mr. Probert. "It was not directed in his hand," M. de Brecourt pronounced. "There was some stamp on the band it came from the office." "Mr. Flack is that his hideous name? must have seen to that," Mme. de Brecourt suggested. "Or perhaps Florine," M. de Cliche interposed.
"Why, do you suppose if I'd known where that first visit of ours to Waterlow was going to bring you out I'd have taken you within fifty miles ?" He stopped suddenly; then in another tone: "Jerusalem, there's no one like you! And you told them it was all YOU?" "Never mind what I told them." "Miss Francie," said George Flack, "if you'll marry me I'll never ask a question again.
I don't fool round much in woods." Francie replied candidly that for her too the occasion was most agreeable, and Mr. Flack pursued, looking round him with his hard smile, irrelevantly but sociably: "Yes, these French ideas! I don't see how you can stand them. Those they have about young ladies are horrid." "Well, they tell me you like them better after you're married."
I think this may be said to have been the only incident in the whole business that gave him a personal pang. He remembered how many of his cigars he had smoked with Mr. Flack and how universal a participant he had made him. This haughtiness struck him as the failure of friendship not the publication of details about the Proberts. Interwoven with Mr.
Waterlow's productions took their place for the most part in the category of those creations known to ladies as frights, and our friends retired with the lowest opinion of the young American master. George Flack told them however that they couldn't get out of it, inasmuch as he had already written home to the Reverberator that Francie was to sit.
Flack met and stabbed him in the lower part of his abdomen with a knife, letting out his bowels. Roark ran to the door, and received another stab in the back. He lived until Thursday night, when he expired in great agony. Flack was tried before a justice of the peace, and we understand was only held to bail to appear at court in the event Roark should die."
When he entered the hotel, as they sat there, this pursuit and its probable motive became startlingly vivid. Delia had taken the matter much more seriously than her father; she said there was ever so much she wanted to find out. She mused upon these mysteries visibly, but with no great advance, and she appealed for assistance to George Flack, with a candour which he appreciated and returned.
His impassive mask of a face was incapable apart from the faint query note in the eyes of betraying any of the feelings or emotions which ruffle the countenances of common humanity. On the way downstairs, Hill saw Police-Constable Flack in conversation with a lady at the front door. The lady was well-known to the butler as Mrs.
Mixed up with this high rigour on Miss Dosson's part was the oddest secret complacency of reflexion that in consequence of what Mr. Flack HAD published the great American community was in a position to know with what fine folks Francie and she were associated. She hoped that some of the people who used only to call when they were "off to-morrow" would take the lesson to heart.
