Robert Kater brushed his hand across his eyes and stepped down from the throne. Then lifting his head and shoulders as if he threw off a burden, he leaped from the dais, and with one long howl, began an Indian war dance. He was the center and life of the hilarious crowd from that moment. The selection of materials had been made.
It was Robert Kater he called himsel'. So, there he's been pentin' pictures. Go, Hester, an' find yer son, an' I'll find Richard. Ellen, ye'll have to do wi' Tillie for a week an' a bit, I'm going to Paris to find Richard." "Ye'll do nae sic' thing. Ye'll find him by post." "I'll trust to nae letter the noo, Ellen. Letters aften gang astray, but I'll no gang astray." "Oh, child, child!
On comparing the Cassegrain telescopes with a small convex mirror, to the Gregorian telescopes with a small concave mirror, Captain Kater found that the former, in which the luminous rays do not cross each other before falling on the small mirror, possess, as to intensity, a marked advantage over the latter, in which this crossing takes place.
I have since regretted that Lieutenant Sherer was not furnished with more provisions and a larger party to have enabled him to travel round Cape Kater, which is probably not far distant from some of the northern Esquimaux stations mentioned in my Journal of the preceding voyage. Many hundreds of these birds were thus obtained in the course of a few days.
Somerville and I used frequently to spend the evening with Captain and Mrs. Kater. Dr. Wollaston, Dr. Young, and others were generally of the party; sometimes we had music, for Captain and Mrs. Kater sang very prettily. All kinds of scientific subjects were discussed, experiments tried and astronomical observations made in a little garden in front of the house.
And before him, standing in the one ray of light, clothed only in his tunic of white and his sandals, a human jewel of radiant color and slender strength, a godlike conception of youth and grace, his harp before him, the lilies crushed under his feet that he had torn from the strings which his fingers touched caressingly, with sunlight in his crown of golden, curling hair and the light of the stars in his eyes David, the strong, the simple, the trusting, the God-fearing youth, as Robert Kater saw him, looking back through the ages.
But as Demosthenes read on the uproar ceased, and all listened with courteous attention. The ape leaped down from the back of the throne, the owl ceased hooting, and all were silent until the second envelope had been opened and the contents made known that his exhibit had been purchased by the Salon. "Robert Kater, you are at the top. We congratulate you.
While the company scattered and searched the studio for materials with which to create for him a costume for the mask, the ghost came limping up to the young man who had seated himself again wearily on the throne, and spoke to him quietly. "The tide's turned, Kater; wake up to it. You're clear of the breakers. The two pictures you were going to destroy are sold.
I doubled your price and they took them at the price I made. Look at these." Then Robert Kater looked at them with glittering eyes, and his shaking hand shut upon them, crushing the bank notes in a tight grip. "We'll halve it, share and share alike," he whispered, staring at the ghost without counting it.
He will be consoled." She laughed, showing her beautiful, even teeth. "I make you a confession. I said to him, 'I will dance it with you unless the cold monsieur asks me then I will dance with him, for it will do him good." Robert Kater rose and stood a moment looking through the palms. The silken folds of his toga fell gracefully around him, and he held his head high.
