Finding out a clue like this and pluckily carrying it through all by yourself. By Jove, it's splendid of you! especially when you've no reason to do much for your uncle after the way in which he's treated you. I admire you, George. By Gad, I do admire you!" "Not at all!" George advised him. "By no means, old fellow." He wiped his brow; his mental suffering was considerable.
Tish said afterward that her subconscious self must have taken the word "marooned" and played with it; for in ten minutes or so her plan popped into her head. "'Full-panoplied from the head of Jove, Lizzie," she said. "Really, it is not necessary to think if one only has faith. The supermind does it all without effort. I do not dislike the young man; but I must do my duty."
"What have you done with Clayton's rooms?" he quietly said. "You had an apartment with him. You should search it." Ferris started. "By Jove! Yes! I forgot all about that. I've two men watching them now." After a short pause, Witherspoon said calmly, "There may be some sudden sickness, some accident in the country, some mysterious happening. His rooms should be carefully examined."
Involuntarily the men applauded. "Remember the time when they first came to the island," Ralph said, "how she was proud like a lion because she managed to hold herself for an instant on a tree-branch? Her wings were helping her then. Now it's a real balancing act. Some stunt that! By Jove, she must have been practising tightrope walking."
Kennedy had picked up the morning papers which had been left at the door of our apartment and was hastily running his eye over the headlines on the first page, as was his custom. "By Jove, Walter," I heard him exclaim. "What do you think of that a robbery below the deadline and in Langhorne's office, too." I hurried out of my room and glanced at the papers, also.
'The earth is full of men who'd sell their souls for three hundred a year; and women come and talk, and borrow a five-pound note here and a ten-pound note there; and a woman has no conscience in a money debt. Stick to your money, Maisie, for there's nothing more ghastly in the world than poverty in London. It's scared me. By Jove, it put the fear into me!
"He might be still in the house," said Mr. Wain, ruminatively. "Not likely, sir." "You think not?" "Wouldn't be such a fool, sir. I mean, such an ass, sir." "Perhaps you are right, Jackson." "I shouldn't wonder if he was hiding in the shrubbery, sir." Mr. Wain looked at the shrubbery, as who should say, "Et tu, Brute!" "By Jove! I think I see him," cried Mike.
It was an order. Maurice obeyed it, feeling that in these matters Gaspare had the right to command. "Walk as I do, signore, and keep step with me." "Bene!" "And look before you. Don't look down at the sea." "Va bene." A moment, and they were across. Maurice blew out his breath. "By Jove!" he said, in English.
"You didn't give a chance after the first over. And, by Jove, that was a bit of luck then." "Yes, you know, I have a good deal of luck one way and another. I haven't got in a single row yet; and I am always being missed." "And some fellows have no luck at all. Now Foster was batting beautifully before he was run out; never saw such a scandalous mix-up. All the other man's fault.
If you choose to take offence at this, leave the house and feast elsewhere at one another's houses at your own cost turn and turn about. If, on the other hand, you elect to persist in spunging upon one man, heaven help me, but Jove shall reckon with you in full, and when you fall in my father's house there shall be no man to avenge you."
