The garden was exquisitely still and calm and peaceful. We were shut in and canopied by walls and roof of waving green, lighted with great cream-colored flowers with hearts of gold, and dappled with sun and shadow. Through it came the vireo's fairy flute. God knows what thoughts went through John Flint's mind; but for me, a great peace stole upon me, mixed with a greater, reverent awe and wonder.
I've seen her leave the house on a bright Sabbath half an hour before meetin' to be gone the whole day, and Hilary and all the ministers in town couldn't stop her." "I'll drop in once in a while to see you, Phrasie. I'll be at Jabe Jenney's." "Jabe's is not more than three or four miles from Flint's place," Euphrasia remarked. "I've thought of that," said Austen. "You'd thought of it!"
And at this there came suddenly a lowering shadow over his face and he tightened his grasp upon my hand and raised a forefinger threateningly before my eyes. "Now, Jim, you tell me true; that ain't Flint's ship?" he asked. At this I had a happy inspiration. I began to believe that I had found an ally and I answered him at once.
Flint's ruse so characteristic of the tactics of the president of the Northeastern of putting him into a position where criticism of the Northeastern and its practices would be criticism of his own father. As it was, he only set his jaw more firmly, an expression indicative of contempt for such tactics. Had his purpose been deliberately to enter into a contest with Mr.
'Ah, says he, 'you can go ashore, if you like, and stay, he says; 'but as for the ship, she'll beat up for more, by thunder! That's what he said. "Well, I was in another ship three years back, and we sighted this island. 'Boys, said I, 'here's Flint's treasure; let's land and find it. The cap'n was displeased at that; but my messmates were all of a mind, and landed.
Flint's daughter if he chose or any other man's daughter; partaking, in this respect, somewhat of Euphrasia's view. As for Austen himself, Tom had seen no symptoms; but then, he reflected, he would not be likely to see any. However, he perceived the object now of Euphrasia's visit, and began to take the liveliest interest in it. "So you think Austen's in love?" he demanded.
Mary Virginia, in a white skirt, sport coat, and a white felt hat which made her entrancingly pretty, had been visiting my mother and now strolled over to John Flint's, after her old fashion. "I feel like making the greatest sort of a fuss about you myself," she said honestly. "Anyhow, I'm mighty glad girls like you. It's a good sign."
There grew upon Isaac Worthington a sense that this midnight hour was in some way to be the culmination of the long years of hatred between them. He believed Jethro: he would have believed him even if Mr. Flint had not informed him that afternoon that he was beaten, and bitterly he wished he had taken Mr. Flint's advice many months before. Denunciation sprang to his lips which he dared not utter.
All his life he had met and successfully conquered forces of another kind, and put down with a strong hand merely physical encroachments. Mr. Flint's nature was not an introspective one, and if he had tried, he could not have accounted for his feelings. He was angry that was certain.
"Is any oxygen liberated, during the process?" he demanded. "At one stage, yes, sir. But in the present process, it is absorbed, also." Flint's eyebrows contracted nervously. For a moment he stood thinking, while Herzog eyed him with trepidation, and Waldron, almost forgetting to smoke, waited developments with interest. The Billionaire, however, wasted but scant time in consideration.
