"Forgive me; I did not know it was an accident I could not do such a thing purposely. Believe me, believe me, Miss Roussillon. I did not mean it." She stood facing him, trying to look right into his eyes. A quality in his voice had checked her hot anger. She could only see his dim outlines in the dull gleam from the fort's lantern. He seemed to be forlornly wretched.
"I dare say you feel a little sour about this; but later on you can have the satisfaction of having helped, even though against your will." "What are you going to do now?" Reblong wanted to know as the athlete released him from his chair. The other Capellans were content to stare and listen. The strange glint came back into Fort's eyes. "It's up to you, folks!"
So, too, was the paddling about on the beach that fringed the bottom of the fort's grassy slope, and the making of miniature forts out of the warm, dry sand, only to have them dissolve again before the advancing tide.
They were almost all Latin books, the kind that nobody reads. Father Herreros began to ask Caesar questions. In his brain, he was doubtless wondering why Cardinal Fort's nephew should come to him.
All roads led to it, and down each one came the slow coil of the long trains and the pacing files of mounted men. Under its walls they rested and repaired their waste, ere they took the trail again intent on the nation's work of conquest. The fort's centripetal attraction had caught the doctor's party, and was drawing it to the focus.
If anything happens to me now, Miss Mona will naturally think of you; for she knows I have come here!" A single exclamation escaped Powart, and from the light in Fort's eyes, Van Emmon knew that the chief was sorely provoked. However, he spoke with his usual coolness and certainty. "Under the circumstances, you will be exempt, Mr. Fort, from the conscription which is now under way.
A minute later the Fort's ancient bow-chaser barked loudly, and pitched a solid shot. The metal spheroid hit the ploughed-up ground some ninety feet in front of the parapet where the bloody head had hung, and over which those explosive bullets had been fired, rose in a cloud of dust, and literally jumped the trench.
That way the main fort doesn't have to lower its ray screen to fight," commented Arcot. He was watching intensely as a tiny ship swung away from one of the larger machines, and a tremendously powerful molecular started biting at the fort's ray screen. The ship seemed nothing but a flying ray projector, which was what it was.
Fort next showed himself to Smith, through Reblong. He had secured a pass to the engine-room of the Cobulus; and shortly his breezy manner completely broke down the engineer's usual reserve. "Always glad to show the machinery," said Reblong, denying that the visitor was making any trouble. Fort's technical knowledge had delighted him. "Come again any time you like."
The anger in her eyes changed instantly, first to searching, then to misery. She cried out: "I was to be envied. Oh! Jimmy; I was!" and flung herself face down on the bed. Through Fort's mind went the thought: 'Atrocious! How could he soothe make her feel that he loved her, when he didn't that he wanted her, when he wanted Noel.
