"My beloved young friend," laying his hand heavily upon the other's shoulder, "you are not. You were merely born in America." But Frowenfeld was not appeased. "Hear me through," persisted the flatterer. "You were merely born in America. I, too, was born in America but will any man responsible for his opinion mistake me Agricola Fusilier for an American?"
Parts of that truth he was pledged not to tell; and even if he could tell it all it was incredible bore all the features of a flimsy lie. "Mister," repeated the same child who had spoken before, reinforced by another under the other elbow, "dey got some blood on de back of you' hade." And the other added the suggestion: "Dey got one drug-sto', yondah." Frowenfeld groaned again.
"I do it!" cried Raoul, and sprang for his hat; and in the end Frowenfeld let him have his way. "I had intended seeing him " the apothecary said. "Nevvamine to see; I goin' tell him!" cried Raoul, as he crowded his hat fiercely down over his curls and plunged out. It was equally a part of Honoré Grandissime's nature and of his art as a merchant to wear a look of serene leisure.
It was Honoré Grandissime, and he had left no message. "Frowenfeld," said his friend, "it would pay you to employ a regular assistant." Joseph was in an abstracted mood. "I have some thought of doing so." Unlucky slip! As he pushed open his door next morning, what was his dismay to find himself confronted by some forty men.
"How free," said Agricola, beginning with a meditative gaze at the sky without, and ending with a philosopher's smile upon his two companions, "how free we people are from prejudice against the negro!" "The white people," said Frowenfeld, half abstractedly, half inquiringly. "H-my young friend, when we say, 'we people, we always mean we white people.
If the different grades of race and society did not have corresponding moral and civil liberties, varying in degree as they vary h-why! this community, at least, would go to pieces! See here! Professor Frowenfeld is charged with misdemeanor. Very well, who is he? Foreigner or native? Foreigner by sentiment and intention, or only by accident of birth?
Then she turned, and Frowenfeld put out one strong arm, helped her to a sitting posture on the side of the bed and drew the shawl about her. "Zizi," she said, and the negress, who had stood perfectly still since depositing the water and bandages, came forward and proceeded to bare the philosophe's superb shoulder.
Frowenfeld insisted savagely on speaking; but Agricola raised his voice, and gray hairs prevailed. "At least, what has happened?
He drew it from his breast pocket and marked the sudden glisten of her eyes, reflecting the glisten of the gold in the silken mesh. "Oui, c'est ça," said she, putting her hand out eagerly. "I am afraid to give you this to-night," said Joseph. "Oui," ventured she, dubiously, the lightning playing deep back in her eyes. "You might be robbed," said Frowenfeld.
"The country's chill-day," said Doctor Keene; "dumb chill, hot fever." "The excitement is intense," said Frowenfeld. "It seems we are not to be granted suffrage yet; but the Creoles have a way of casting votes in their mind. For example, they have voted Honoré Grandissime a traitor; they have voted me an encumbrance; I hear one of them casting that vote now."
