Petitt, the Deputy Commissioner, covered with dust and sweat, but calm and gently smiling, cantered up the clean-swept street in rear of the main body of the rioters, "No one killed yet," he shouted. "I'll keep 'em on the run till dawn! Don't let 'em halt, Hugonin! Trot 'em about till the troops come." The science of the defence lay solely in keeping the mob on the move.
The dear, clean-minded, honest boy had come back to her, and she could love him now without shame, and there was only herself to be loathed. Then the door opened. Then, with Colonel Hugonin, came Martin Jeal a wisp of a man like a November leaf and regarded them from under his shaggy white hair with alert eyes. "Hey, what's this?" said Dr. Jeal. "Eh, yes! Eh yes!" he meditated, slowly.
This was the first observation of Mr. Woods when he came to his senses. He swore feebly when Peggy was denied to him. He pleaded. He scolded. Woods into one of 'em. Jeal had his own methods in dealing with the fractious. Then Billy clamoured for Colonel Hugonin, and subsequently the Colonel came in some bewilderment to his daughter's rooms.
"You beautiful child!" said Miss Hugonin. "Er Jukesbury," said the Colonel, mysteriously, "there's a little cognac in the cellar that er " The Colonel jerked his thumb across the hallway with the air of a conspirator. "Eh?" said the Colonel. "Why er yes," said Mr. Jukesbury. "Why ah yes, I think I might." They went across the hall together.
Don't trust entirely to the Haggages and Jukesburys, Peggy, and and don't desert the good ship Philanthropy because there are a few barnacles on it, dear." "You make me awfully tired," Miss Hugonin observed, as she rose to her feet. "How do you suppose I'm going to do anything for Philanthropy or any other cause when I haven't a penny in the world?
But if Miss Hugonin was somewhat taciturn, her counsellors in divers schemes for benefiting the universe were in opulent vein. Billy heard them silently. "I have spent the entire morning by the lake," Mr. Kennaston informed the party at large, "in company with a mocking-bird who was practising a new aria.
Why ain't she at home attending to that crippled boy of hers poor little beggar! instead of flaunting through America meddling with other folk's children?" Miss Hugonin put another lump of sugar into his cup and deigned no reply.
I erected a tomb to her at considerable personal expense, but I don't begrudge it no, I don't begrudge it, Miss Hugonin. She was very hard to live with. But she was an angel, and angels are rare. Miss Hugonin," said Petheridge Jukesbury, with emphasis, "you are an angel." "Oh, dear, dear!" said Margaret, to herself; "I do wish I'd gone to bed directly after dinner!" Above them the Eagle brooded.
That's always the way my dolls are invariably stuffed with sawdust, and I never have a dear gazelle to glad me with his dappled hide, but when he comes to know me well he falls upon the buttered side or something to that effect. I hate poetry, anyhow it's so mushy!" And this from the Miss Hugonin who a week ago was interested in the French decadents and partial to folk-songs from the Romaic!
Colonel Hugonin stared at him. The skin of his flabby, wrinkled old throat was working convulsively. Then, "You're wrong, sir," the Colonel said. "Billy shan't die. Damn Jukesbury! Damn all doctors, too, sir! I put my trust in my God, sir, and not in a box of damn' sugar-pills, sir. And I tell you, sir, that boy is not going to die." Afterward he turned and went into Selwoode defiantly.
