He pushed his chair noisily back, and we all rose. "'You won't wait for coffee? said our host. 'Just as you please. He touched the call-button, and Jarman entered to help us on with our top-coats. Par parenthese, how account for the anomaly of this scoundrel of a Balencourt possessing the most perfect of serving-men?
The girl's eyes brightened softly as she turned to him. "Do tell me," she said, with an anticipatory smile and flash of white teeth. "Won't you?" She certainly was very pretty and simple, in spite of her late speech. Jarman briefly explained to her the movements of the semaphore arms and their different significance.
Colonel Jarman had his airjeeps and combat-cars working in ever-widening circles over the countryside, shooting up everything in sight that even looked like contragravity equipment. Some of these patrols had to be recalled, around 1030, when sporadic nuisance-sniping began from the side of the mountain to the west.
You're a Jarman, and can't like aristocrats, and so I'll trust you; though, if you do betray me, you'll never play on another bit of music in this country, or any other! If you want to be an Injin, as good an opportunity will offer to-morrow as ever fell in a man's way!" "An Injin! Vhat goot vill it do to be an Injin? I dought it might be better to be a vhite man, in America?" "Oh!
Minikin replied that he would give the idea consideration. "Make your fortune going round the suburbs," assured him Jarman. "Pity you weren't 'ere last night," he continued; "might 'ave saved our young friend 'ere a deal of trouble. Has 'e told you the news?" I explained that I had already put Minikin in possession of all the facts.
Lord! how they did swear in Jarman! They did tell me of one drunken Dutchman who said hed have the life of me before I got back to the lake agin.
Jarman could see that the older girl was evidently embarrassed, and changed the subject. "I sometimes go out," he said, "when I can see there are no vessels in sight, and I take ray glass with me. I can always get back in time to make signals. I thought, in fact," he said, glancing at Cara's brightening face, "that I might get as far as your house on the shore some day."
He had not noticed the sudden coquettish pose and half-affected bashfulness of the girl; he was thinking only of the possibility of detection by strangers. "Oh, he is Marco Franti, but I call him 'Mark. It's the same name, you know, and it makes him mad," said the girl, with the same suggestion of archness and coquetry. But all this was lost on Jarman. "Oh, another Italian," he said, relieved.
Jarman must have had some contragravity ready to be sent off on the instant. While he had been out, somebody had gotten a TV-pickup mounted on a contragravity-lifter and run up to two thousand feet, on the end of a steel-tough tensilon mooring-line.
She lifted her hands, and with a sudden movement shook out her long hair and let it fall down her back at the same moment that her unloosened blouse began to slip from her shoulders. Richard Jarman turned quickly and walked noiselessly and rapidly away, until the little hillock had shut out the beach. His retreat was as sudden, unreasoning, and unpremeditated as his intrusion.
