And so it is not enough, as Gard recognized, for Frau or Fräulein to be massive of line and fond of being upholstered in dense colors in order to satisfy the general grossness of her male. It is not enough that she should be armed with strong hands, planted on large feet, and decorated in the German's favorite rococo manner of abounding breasts, to gratify his cyclopean aspirations.
At his best he is not far behind Holbein. That great German's art is shown in a solitary masterpiece, the portrait of an unknown man, with shrewd cold eyes, an enormous nose, the hands full of meaning, the fabrics scrupulous as to detail.
Releasing both hands, he seized the German by the throat, pinning him against the rim of the hole that held both, and with his feet on the accelerator rose rapidly upward. By this time bullets were spitting round them, one of which seared the German's bare scalp deeply. Uttering a curious groan, the fellow sank back and Blaine released his throat.
The shout on the German's lips was checked by a stinging sensation in his right side. The Frenchman had his range at last. Almost simultaneously his machine turned completely over. With groping, desperate fingers the German strove to gain control over the levels and right himself.
The older woman, trembling, hesitating, faint with dread, obeyed, and Hilma, picking her way through and around the wreck of her home, set off by the trail towards the Long Trestle and Hooven's. When she arrived, she found the road in front of the German's house, and, indeed, all the surrounding yard, crowded with people.
"And that's near enough," he said, "because to-day is Wednesday, and if Mercridi means Wednesday, they'll think I'm signaling 'to-day'; and if it means Thursday, they'll think I'm talking about to-morrow." All doubts of the German's knowledge appeared to be removed, however, by their next notice, which stated plainly, "You are Englander."
"Castles, and bears!" smiled Monty. Kagig grinned. "What if I propose a different quarry?" "Propose and see!" Monty was on the alert, and therefore to all outward appearance in a sort of well-fed, catlike, dallying mood. "This dog," said Kagig, and he kicked the German's ribs again, "has said nothing of any other person he must rescue. Bear me witness." We murmured admission of the truth of that.
Frank dashed forward with the others. Down went the second German, leaving but one alive. Frank found himself face to face with the latter. "Stand back, men," he called. The sailors obeyed. In one hand the German gripped a revolver, but Frank held this arm with his left hand and straightened it high above the German's head. Thus the German was unable to bring his revolver to bear on the lad.
"But they don't appreciate him here. He's been asked to resign in a few days now." The German's round eyes grew rounder. "Nein! And why? Has he got into foolishness? He is young, they must remember." "It's a long tale," said Uncle Denny, "but I'll tell it to you," and he plunged into the story of the Project. Herr Gluck listened breathlessly.
"I fired about all I had coming on in the rush." "Same here," admitted Bob. "Maybe a machine-gun yet we could shoot," suggested Iggy. "One only was bust by your grenade, Jimmy. Maybe one iss " "By Jove! He's right!" cried Jimmy. "I never thought of that. If worst comes to worst we may, for a short time, turn the German's own gun on 'em. Come on and we'll take a look."
