The young girl was familiar to all the ragamuffins of the town slum, and when she sometimes found one gazing wistfully through the fence palings of her mother's old-fashioned garden, she promptly led him around to the kitchen, gave him a plate of food on the back steps, picked him a small bouquet and sent him off half-dazed with her gracious and impetuous kindness.
She had saved Angela, believing her to be Blakely's own blood, had led her to her own mountain refuge, and then, confident that Blakely would make search for it and for his sister, had gone forth and found him, already half-dazed with fever and exhaustion, and had striven to lead his staggering horse up that precipitous trail. It was the poor brute's last climb.
But he still held it by one of the sleeves, without letting it go, repeating in a half-dazed manner: "Oh! Why? Just explain Whose overcoat is it? It is not mine, as it has the Legion of Honor on it." She tried to take it from him, terrified and hardly able to say: "Listen listen! Give it to me! I must not tell you! It is a secret. Listen to me!" But he grew angry and turned pale.
In another moment he reached the rail, and went staggering across the deck, dripping and half-dazed. Action was imperatively necessary, and he braced himself for the effort.
Shouts and cries, the frenzied hooting of horns, the grinding of brakes and clash of splintered glass combined into a pandemonium of terrifying hubbub. Magda, half-dazed with shock, crouched on the floor of the car where she had been flung. She could see the lights appearing and disappearing in the fog like baleful eyes opening and shutting spasmodically.
Jubilant, he picked up one of the sacks of gold and made his way to the deck, followed by the half-dazed Jeremy, who carried the rest of the treasure. The sun was close to setting when the Tiger's boat made its last trip to the pirate sloop. This time its errand was a sad one.
How long he stumbled on he could not remember; but at length he was sensible of a faint brightness in the snow ahead and he made toward it in a half-dazed fashion. It seemed to die out, leaving him in a state of dull despair, but a few moments later something barred his way and stretching out his mittened hand it fell upon the lapped boarding of a house.
"Ye ain't married to me, be ye?" And, while a giant pain gnawed at her heart, she shook her head. "Then what right has ye got to tell me what to do? Shut up or get out ye see?" He closed his jaw with a vicious snap, resting his half-dazed head on his mutilated arm. Louder came the baby's cries from the back room. Thinking Lem had ended his tirade, Scraggy made a motion to rise.
He realized, dispassionately and without egotism, that this was through no fault of his, for he knew that better men had been crushed and beaten. It was, however, time he had done with these reflections, for while he sat half-dazed and more than half-frozen the miles had been flitting by, and now the team knew they were not very far from home.
She was silent, looking now neither angry nor frightened, but seemed half-dazed, and bending forward a little she covered her eyes with her hand. "Oh, mother, poor mother are you hurt?" whispered Fan, trying to draw the hand away to look into the bowed face. "You go back to your corner and leave your mother to me," he said; and Fan, after hesitating a few moments, rose and shrank away.
