"Why have you left your bed without my permission?" "Oh, monsieur!" said the poor girl, turning to the gentle-voiced, pleasant-faced man who spoke so kindly, "have you attended me in my illness? Look thanks to your care I have recovered!" she affirmed confidently, though her hectic features and weak motions belied it. "They left me alone for a few moments, and I arose and dressed myself.
"What is your name?" asked the gentle-voiced woman at the boy's side. "Where do you come from?" He hesitated, still uncertain of his standing among these strange, apparently friendly people. "I can't tell you my name," he said in a low voice. "I hoped you wouldn't ask me. I have no home now not since Oh, a long time ago, it seems. More than a week, I reckon, ma'am."
His domain was a fascinating place, for it contained everything from pianola parts to patent washstands. The next best equipped place of the kind I know of is the property room of a moving picture company. We went to mail a letter, and found the postmaster to be a gentle-voiced, polite little Hindu, who greeted us smilingly, and attempted to conceal a work of art.
So saying he made another step forward, and it brought a snarl from the dog; not one of those high-whining noises, but a deep guttural that sounded like indrawn breath. The gun of Jerry Strann leaped into his hand. "Bart," said the gentle-voiced stranger, "lie down and don't talk." And he turned in his chair, pulled his hat straight, and looked mildly upon the gunman.
They arch their pointed noses with the fine old aristocratic air of the unspoken question: what are you of the Twenty Century doing wandering back into the mystery and mysticism and quietude of the religious sixteen hundred? But if you keep on going, you will find the gentle-voiced sisterhood teaching the little Pimas and Papagoes in the schoolrooms.
The gentle-voiced old lady had already taken a key from her reticule and was thanking us again for the little service of the handkerchief; then, with the little gesture one makes when one has found oneself on the point of omitting a courtesy, she gave a little musical laugh.
He turned his grin on the others. "Can't a man gas to the boss without all you yaps buttin' in?" he demanded. "What for are you-all a-yowlin' that-a-way for?" questioned a gentle-voiced Southerner reproachfully. "I was just a-dreamin' of rakin' in a big pot in a cyard game. An' now you've done busted it up." He sank disgustedly to his blanket. "He thinks he's a damned coyote," said a voice.
He was used to having his parishioners, especially the women, yield implicitly to his advice. This gentle-voiced girl, who said to him, "Don't you think, sir?" in an appealing tone which made his blood quicken, but who afterward, when she disagreed with him, stood her ground immovably even against entreaties, was a phenomenon in his life. He began to stand in awe of her.
He did not tell Pauline all of this, nor did he repeat to her the conversation between himself and his father a few days before he left home. "Is 'Bella going to pay your way through?" asked his father, looking at him severely but he looked severely at every one except Hampden's gentle-voiced mother. "No, sir." The son's voice was clear. "Is your mother?" "No, sir." "Have you got money put by?"
"I don't understand," and her eyes widened in wonder, not without an accompanying blush which did not escape Holloway. "No longer a lamb in sheep's clothing, I want to entertain you, without the halo of William Grimsby's millions. I want to take tea with these gentle-voiced cut-throats, who after my warning to-day, are directing their attention to me."
