"Oh, but we really do want to learn something about it," here interposed Ollie Grant, as she gave Sadie a nudge with her elbow, "and and" with mock demureness "if we have wrong ideas about it, why, you can perhaps set us right." "I am sure it would be very interesting," Clara Follet observed, with a sly wink at her nearest neighbor; "it is so mysterious and creepy; like spiritualism, you know."
When we appeared, he decided to get his work in. He probably thought she had sent for us. And he was determined no one should stop him from telling. Now do you see? Come on." He pulled at my arm. "In heaven's name, man, what did he tell?" I almost shrieked. "Just the one thing you Yankees can't stand," Follet sneered. "A touch of the tar-brush. She wasn't altogether French, you see.
Let him be committed to jail until he can find bonds in one thousand pounds;" and with a cheerful wave of his hand, the commissioner left us. "You see how much you have injured yourself in trying to fasten your crime upon these gentlemen," Mr. Brown remarked, addressing Follet; "if you will make a free confession, I will endeavor to get you as comfortable a sentence as possible."
But I kept a keen eye out for Follet. I thought Stires could look out for himself, so long as it was just Ching Po. It was the triangular mix-up I was afraid of; even though I providentially had Follet's pistol. And, for that matter, where was Follet? Had he given up the chase? Gone home for that drink, probably.
'But your heart beats! 'I am not mistress of it. 'Call me master of it. I make ready for to-morrow. No! no! no! A thousand times no! You have been reading too much fiction and verse. Properly I should spurn you. 'Will you fail me, play feu follet, ward me off again? 'I must be won by rules, brave knight! 'Will you be won? 'And are you he the Alvan who would not be centaur?
If he had a pen in his hand, the follet of Molière rode it. Mr. Thomas Emmett, that famous Yorkshire cricketer, has spoken words of gold: "I was always happy as long as I was bowling." Stevenson, I think, was almost always happy when he was writing, when the instrument of his art was in his fingers. Ohé, les Psychologues!
The expressionless Chinese face might have been a mask for all the virtues; and he received the shaking burden of Follet as meekly as a sister of charity. I bought some tinned things for my dinner and took my way home. I should not, I felt sure, be interrupted, and I meant to turn in early.
He says it is all vanity of vanities. But thou know'st, if they caught him at the preche they would call it heresy and treason, and all sorts of horrors, and any way they would fall like demons on the poor Huguenots, Jacques and all thine own Jacques, Follet. Come, be a loyal pony, Follet. Be at least as good as Eustacie.
Gervase of Tilbury, Marie de France, John Major, Froissart, mention an occasional follet, brownie, or knocking sprite. The prayers of the Church contain a petition against the spiritus percutiens, or spirit who produces 'percussive noises'. The Norsemen of the Viking age were given to second sight, and Glam 'riding the roofs, made disturbances worthy of a spectre peculiarly able-bodied.
"I did not ask your opinion or advice, sir," interrupted the commissioner, in the same cold tone, and with a look that almost froze the policeman; "do as I bid you, and learn to keep silent." Michael looked as though he would like to make a reply, but fear of losing his place prevented. He walked slowly to the door, and after a delay of a few minutes, escorted our accuser, Follet, into the store.
