The tall, over-laden flower-spikes of gladioli bent and nodded at him; the hollyhocks and flaming alvias, the clustered blossoms on the standard roses, the delicately painted lilies on their stilt-like stems, fluttered in the wind, and seemed all bowing satirically to him. "Yes, Levi Gorringe paid for us!" He almost heard their mocking declaration.
"Very well, then," said Gorringe. "I vote no, and it's a tie. It rests with the chairman now to cast the deciding vote, and say whether this interesting arrangement shall go through or not." "Me?" said Theron, eying the lawyer with a cool self-control which had come all at once to him. "Me? Oh, I vote Aye."
'I wonder what she thinks of the Woman Question, Miss Levering observed, in a careless aside to her maid. Before Gorringe could reply: 'Doddy's a bootiful angel, isn't Doddy? said the young mother, with subdued rapture. 'Ah, she's found the solution, said the lady, looking back.
But I didn't know but you might have some knowledge of how matters are going, what plans the officials of the church had; they seem to have agreed to tell me nothing." "Well, I HAVE heard this much," responded Gorringe. "They're figuring on getting the Soulsbys here to raise the debt and kind o' shake things up generally. I guess that's about as good as settled. Hadn't you heard of it?"
With nightfall General Gorringe again returned to the attack along the left bank and stormed the Felahieh position. Here, too, the Turks had constructed a series of successive deep trenches, some of which were taken by the British battalions only at the point of the bayonet.
It is a misunderstanding all round. You remember that I told you Mr. Gorringe had given me some plants, which he got from some garden or other?" "If you really wish to go on with the subject yes I have a recollection of that particular falsehood of his." "He did it with the kindest and friendliest motives in the world!" protested Alice.
It forms a special literature of its own to which Commander Gorringe of the United States Navy, in his elaborate and magnificent work on Egyptian obelisks, has done the amplest justice. It cost upwards of £100,000 to bring the Luxor Obelisk to Paris, owing to the inexperience of the engineers and the imperfection of their method.
"Not even good-will I take that to be your meaning," retorted Theron, with some heat. "The words are yours, sir," responded Gorringe, coolly. "I do not object to them." "As you like," put in the other. "If it be so, why, then all the more reason why I should, under the circumstances " "Under what circumstances?" interposed the lawyer. "Let us be clear about this thing as we go along.
The clamant brethren down below were stirred to new excitement by the thought that the sceptical lawyer, so long with them, yet not of them, had been humbled and won by the outpourings of the Spirit. Theron's perceptions were keener. He knew that Gorringe was coming forward to kneel beside Alice; The knowledge left him curiously undisturbed.
The words and the menacing tone greatly impressed Theron. Indeed, upon reflection, he found that they frightened him. The disposition to adopt a high tone with the lawyer was melting away. "I do not see," he began, and then deliberately allowed his voice to take on an injured and plaintive inflection "I do not see why you should adopt this tone toward me Brother Gorringe."
