Morten felt the rebuke, and answered, "I did not think Garman and Worse set such store by its credit in those days." "The house is no longer what it has been," said the young Consul dryly, closing the thick ledger. He then held out his hand to Morten over the table, and said, "Best wishes for the new year." "The same to you, father," said Morten, as their eyes met for a moment.
Jacob Worse seized the nozzle of the hose, and with one sweep forced the water to such a height that the fire was quenched for the moment. But now it was plain to all that the ship's fate was sealed, and even if there were some among the spectators who might owe Garman and Worse a grudge, still they could not but feel that it was a pity for the proud ship to be thus doomed to destruction.
Anger flamed in him anew, the anger of the fair fighter at a treacherous trick, and at the sight of the change in him Garman permitted himself a little smile, and Roger again forced himself to grow calm. He retreated, striking, ducking, side-stepping, he circled the clearing. Once his foot slipped on the barrel of Garman's rifle, and he kicked it to one side.
Rachel had grown up quite beyond her power of restraint, and if it came to the worst, thought Mrs. Garman, this unusual penchant for a clergyman was not the worst one Rachel could have hit upon. The two went down into the garden, where they walked as usual up and down the central path. He found it rather difficult to lead the conversation in the direction he wished.
The same Gallic perspicacity of style which had charmed in his first book was here in a heightened degree; and there was, besides, the same underlying sympathy with progress and what is called the ideas of the age. What mastery of description, what rich and vigorous colors Kielland had at his disposal was demonstrated in such scenes as the funeral of Consul Garman and the burning of the ship.
Marianne clasped her hands, and prayed that she might die; but in the night she got up, and felt herself throbbing with heat and shivering with fever. She thought she could hear a tumult, and the sound of many voices. Mrs. Garman had already gone to bed after her long and tiring day. Madeleine had also slipped out of the way, as she always tried to do when Fanny came.
There were Morse and Frink, Richardson, Hitchcock, Estey, Crowell, Tyler, and Garman. All these and more are gone. The living, no less eminent, I need not recall. As a teaching force, as an inspirer of youth, for training men how to think, that faculty has had and will have nowhere any superior. "So passed that pageant." The college of to-day has taken on a new life, a new activity.
The bolt hummed through the air, struck the ditcher's shovels with a clang and splashed into the water. "Missed!" growled White. "Shut up, you Sam. This ain't no voodoo outfit." "Voodoo!" Roger laughed mirthlessly. "That would be the finishing touch." "How come?" said White, puzzled. "Do you happen to know Mr. Garman, White?" "I was 'specting you to ask that, Mr. Payne," was the drawled reply.
But the Mexican Buzzards, the little brown fellows, will come down from the trees first fierce little Mexican buzzards not afraid to tackle a thing still living a little and groaning!" Roger scarcely heard the last words, for Garman was on him like a fury, striking, clawing, cursing. "Hit me, will you! Try your boxer's tricks on me, eh?" he roared. "I'll stamp your head into the ground."
Garman was not striking; his great left hand like a wide-open claw came forward seeking a throttling grip, while the wild light in his eyes and the ghastly smile on his face showed how sure he was of an easy triumph. "I've got you, Payne!" he roared. "Let that sink into your soul. I've got you. Out here nobody will come or hear you when you begin to shriek for mercy.
