But while Agatha noticed these things it was Hawtrey's face that struck her most distinctly, and she became conscious of an astonishment which was mixed with vague misgivings as she gazed at it, for it had subtly changed since she had last seen it. The joyous sparkle that she remembered had gone out of the eyes. They were harder, bolder, than they used to be.
Hawtrey's conclusion would seem to be that the pragmatic definition of the truth of a belief in no way implies what? that the believer shall believe in his own belief's deliverance? or that the pragmatist who is talking about him shall believe in that deliverance? The two cases are quite different.
Wiley's, and who had played the part of the western hero in "Leila of Hawtrey's." With his burning eyes and sensual face betraying the puffiness that comes from over-indulgence, he was not Janet's ideal of a hero, western or otherwise.
There are complications; she is in debt, and the proprietor of Hawtrey's has threatened to discharge her and in order that the magnitude of the temptation may be most effectively realized the vision appears of Leila herself, wrapped in furs, stepping out of a limousine and into an elevator lifting her to an apartment containing silk curtains, a Canet bed, a French maid, and a Pomeranian.
Edmonds had not sufficiently counted on Sally's knowledge of his victim's affairs, or her quickness of wit, for she turned to Hawtrey with a commanding gesture. "Where are you going to get three thousand dollars from?" she asked. The blood rushed into Hawtrey's face, for this was a thing he could not tell her; but a swift suspicion, flashed into her mind as she looked at him.
"Now," he said, "while I naturally can't tell what Wyllard contemplated, this paper certainly gives you power to do anything you think advisable with his money. In any case, I understand that he can't be back until well on in next year." "I shouldn't expect him until late in the summer, anyway." There was silence for a moment or two, and during it Hawtrey's face grew set.
A trace of darker color dyed Hawtrey's face, but while she was a little surprised at the evidence that he felt her rebuke, he looked at her steadily. He had not thought much about her during the last month, but now the faint scorn in her voice aroused his resentment. "Now," he said, "there are just three reasons, Aggy, why you should have troubled yourself about this thing.
Wyllard was glad to tell the story. He was anxious to say all he honestly could in Hawtrey's favor. "We were at work on a railroad trestle a towering wooden bridge, in British Columbia. It stretched across a deep ravine with great boulders and there was a stream in the bottom of it. He stood high up on a staging close beneath the rails.
He had said what he could in Hawtrey's favour, but now he felt that something was due to the girl. "Gregory told me to explain what things are like out there," he said. "I think it is because they are so different from what you are accustomed to that he has waited as long as he has done. He wanted to make them as easy as possible for you, and now he would like you to realise what is before you."
"Now," he said, "while I naturally can't tell what Wyllard contemplated, this paper certainly gives you power to do anything you think advisable with his money. In any case, I understand that he can't be back until well on in next year." "I shouldn't expect him until late in the summer, anyway." There was silence for a moment or two, and during it Hawtrey's face grew a trifle hard.
