Then she seemed to be waiting for some further observation on the part of the gentleman at the door. None being forthcoming, she seemed to make up her mind to act on her own initiative. "I think I will come in and wait," she said with decision. And come in she did, Mr. Hazeltine not knowing exactly what to do, under the circumstances.
I have been with the Cable Company at their New York experimental station for some years, and the other day the General Manager called me into his office and told me I was expected to take the position of electrician here. I thought it might add to my experience, so I accepted." "Humph! Did he say anything about the general liveliness of things around the station?" Mr. Hazeltine laughed.
Then, stepping to the table, he picked up the tape. "Everything all right, Mr. Hazeltine?" he asked. "Hello! What does this mean? They say they have been calling for two hours without getting an answer. How do you explain that?" It was very quiet in the room when the electrician answered. "The recorder here was out of adjustment, sir," he said simply. "Out of adjustment!
His friend answered without looking up. "Do you s'pose," he said, "that I'm goin' to let Lute Davis and them other fellers drown without makin' a try for 'em? Push off when I tell you to." "Then you let me go instead of you." "Don't talk foolish. You've got Pashy to look after. Ready now!" But Ralph Hazeltine intervened. "I'm going myself," he said firmly, putting one foot over the gunwale.
On the one side, Joseph gave up all that he possessed, and assigned to his nephew his contingent interest in the tontine, already quite a hopeful speculation. The allowance was amply sufficient for the old man; it scarce appears how Miss Hazeltine contrived to dress upon it; but she did, and, what is more, she never complained. She was, indeed, sincerely attached to her incompetent guardian.
Hazeltine hesitated, seemed about to speak, and then silently led the way to the hall. "I'll show you the laboratory later on," he said. "We'll go up to the testing room now." Then he added, apparently as much to himself as to his visitor, "I told those fellows that I wouldn't be back until noon." There was a door at the top of the stairs. Ralph opened this quietly.
Mr Bloomfield had not the least desire to tell her why, for it was simply a craven fear of being drawn himself into the imbroglio; but with the usual tactics of a man who is ashamed of himself, he took the high hand. 'God forbid, my dear Miss Hazeltine, that I should dictate to a lady on the question of propriety he began. 'O, is that all? interrupted Julia. 'Then we must go all three.
Then, with the Captain's arm around his waist, they started slowly up the beach toward the station. They had gone but a little way when they were met by Ralph Hazeltine and Captain Perez. Mrs. Snow had been, for her, rather nervous all that forenoon.
Hazeltine, if it ain't too much trouble, would you mind steppin' up to the schoolhouse when you've done your errand? I've left somethin' there with Josiah, and I'd like to have you git it. Will you?" "Certainly," was the reply, and it was not until the Captain had gone that Ralph remembered he did not know what he was to get.
"Dearest Miss Hazeltine, I vow to you upon my knees I am not mad!" "You are not!" she cried, panting. "I know," he said, "that to a superficial eye my conduct may appear unconventional." "If you are not mad, it was no conduct at all," cried the girl, with a flash of colour, "and showed you did not care one penny for my feelings!" "This is the very devil and all.
