I could almost follow his mind as he tested my position point by point and found it impregnable. When he spoke it was to accept defeat jauntily. 'You are my jinx, young man. I said it all along. You're really set on my going? Say no more. I'll go. After all, it's quiet at the inn, and what more does a man want at my time of life? I went out into the garden to interview Audrey.
Jinx was tired. He begged to be carried, planting two muddy feet on his master's shabby trouser leg, and pleading with low whines. Willy Cameron stooped and, gathering up the little animal, tucked him under his arm. When it commenced to rain he put him under his coat and plunged his head through the mud and wet toward home.
Could she know, and still sit among her pillows, snipping? "I wonder," said Mrs. Boyd, "did anybody feed Jinx? That Ellen is so saving that she grudges him a bone." "He looks all right," said Edith, and went on up to bed. Maybe the Lord did that for people, when they reached a certain point. Maybe He took away the fear of death, by showing after years of it that life was not so valuable after all.
Miss Ryan easily won the tournament and challenged Mlle. Lenglen, but her old jinx in the form of Suzanne again proved too much and she played far below her best. The French girl easily retained her title, winning 6-2, 6-0. The journey of the wandering tennis troupe abroad was far from the most important development of the year. The American season was producing remarkable results.
By jinx, when I heard the Municipals were coming, I was scared they'd get him for sure. Crane wants to watch this guy shot in person!" He grabbed Randolph by the arm. "You're overlooking something, Hendrix," Gordon cut in. He had moved back toward the wall, to face the group. "If you ever look at my record, you'll find I'm an ex-newspaperman myself. This is a rescue. Tie them up, Izzy."
But in one corner of the field Rosalie discovered the bright yellow caravans of the show of 'Lord Fatimore and other Pleasing Varieties. She could not pass by without going for a moment to the caravan to thank Old Mother, and John Thomas and Jinx, for their kindness to her the day before. Mother was having a great wash of all John Thomas's clothes, and Lord Fatimore's and Jinx's and her own.
Spring was surely near. He would like to be able to go and pick up Jinx, and then take a long walk through the park. He needed movement. He needed to walk off his excitement or he felt that he might burst with it. "Eight o'clock!" said Edith. "I wish you joy, waiting until eight for supper." He had to come back a long, long way to her. "'May I come in a business suit?" she mimicked him.
As a matter of fact, Joe Wilkinson was following him that night. On his way to the Cardews Willy Cameron, suddenly remembering the uncanny ability of Jinx to escape and trail him, remaining meanwhile at a safe distance in the rear, turned suddenly and saw Joe, walking sturdily along in rubber-soled shoes, and obsessed with his high calling of personal detective.
The woman looked very uncomfortable when Rosalie said this; she did not like to think that Jesus had not come to save her. 'Well, and suppose a fellow knows he's one of the lost sheep, said Jinx, 'what has he got to do? 'He must cry out to the Good Shepherd, and tell Him he's lost, and ask the Good Shepherd to find him.
"MISFORTUNES never come singly," groaned Tom. "It never rains but it pours," added Dick gloomily. "O, cut out the croaking, you fellows," admonished Bert. "Or, if you're dead set on proverbs, remember that 'it's no use crying over spilt milk. We're up against it good and plenty, but that's all the more reason to get together and try to kill the 'jinx."
