"Very likely it's unwise of me to say this, it will probably antagonize you, but I know Monohan better than you do. I'd go pretty far to keep you two apart now for your sake." "It would be the same if it were any other man," she muttered. "I can understand that feeling in you. It's so so typically masculine." "No, you're wrong there, dead wrong," Fyfe frowned.
Behind them a little way came Jack Fyfe with sagging creel. He did not stop to exhibit his catch, but half an hour later they were served hot and crisp at the table in the big living room, where Fyfe, Stella and Charlie Benton, Lefty Howe and his wife, sat down together. A flunkey from the camp kitchen served the meal and cleared it away.
"You're It." Monohan pivoted, and rushing, swung right and left, missing by inches. Fyfe's mocking grin seemed to madden him completely. He rushed again, launching another vicious blow that threw him partly off his balance. Before he could recover, Fyfe kicked both feet from under him, sent him sprawling on the moss. Stella stood like one stricken. The very thing she dreaded had come about.
As the Edinburgh School of Arts was intended for the benefit of mechanics, the lectures and classes were held in the evening after the day's work was over. The lectures on chemistry were given by Dr. Fyfe an excellent man.
Beside her Fyfe was a dim bulk, sleeping the dead slumber of utter weariness. She hesitated a minute, then shook him. "Listen, Jack," she said. He lifted his head. "Rain!" he whispered. "Good night, Mister Fire. Hooray!" "I brought it," Stella murmured sleepily. "I wished it on Roaring Lake to-night."
It made a deep impression on her, all these successive, disassociated finger posts, pointing one and all to things under the surface, to motives and potentialities she had not glimpsed before and could only guess at now. Fyfe and Benton came to dinner more or less preoccupied, an odd mood for Charlie Benton. Afterwards they went into session behind the closed door of Fyfe's den.
I got a machine to the Springs. Then Barlow came down this afternoon looking for you. He said you'd been missing for two days. So I I " She broke off. Fyfe was walking toward her with that peculiar, lightfooted step of his, a queer, tense look on his face. "Nero fiddled when Rome was burning," he said harshly. "Did you come to sing while my Rome goes up in smoke?"
"Aye, aye," interposed Mr Jaddua Fyfe, "it was a great thing to converse wi' a prince; and how did he behave himself, that's in the way o' manners?" "Ye need na debate, Mr Fyfe, about that," replied Mr Samsone, "the Prince kens what it's to be civil, especially to his friends;" and I thought, in saying these words, that Mr Samsone looked particular towards me.
She was in too deep a spiritual quagmire to refuse any sort of aid, too deeply moved to indulge in analytical self-fathoming. She had a dim sense of being oddly comforted by his presence, as if she, afloat on uncharted seas, saw suddenly near at hand a safe anchorage and welcoming hands. Afterward she recalled that. As it was, she looked up at Fyfe and hid her wet face in her hands again.
"There's them 'at tells me, my lord," she said with sudden calm, "'at that's hoo ye misca'd Annie Fyfe, puir lass, whan she cam efter ye, fifty year ago, to yer father's hoose, an' gat na a plack to haud her an' her bairn frae the roadside! Ye needna girn like that, my lord! Spare yer auld teeth for the gnashin' they'll HAE to du.
