"You're safe as far as Mex and all his people are concerned," said Krafft to Keith. "Our word is always good, when given to a friend; isn't it, Mex?" The man nodded, awkwardly and slouched away. Keith's depression had given place to anger.
"Heinz!" she said again; and this time the word was a reprimand. "Ssh! be quiet," said Krafft peevishly, without looking up. The girl took no notice of Maurice's attempt to greet her. Letting fall on the grand piano, some volumes of music she was carrying, she continued sternly: "Another cat! oh, it is abominable of you!
"It's all she wants," Krafft had replied, when his companion ventured to take her part. "She wouldn't thank you to be treated differently. Believe me, women are all alike; they are made to be trodden on. Ill-usage brings out their good points just as kneading makes dough light.
"You drunken SCHWEIN, can't you see the door's open?" In the sitting-room, both fell heavily over a chair; after that, with infinite labour, he got Heinz on the sofa. He did not attempt to make a light; enough came in from a street-lamp for him to see what he was doing. Lying on his face, Krafft groaned a little, and Maurice suddenly grasped that he was taken ill.
In the utter stillness of the woods, the young men passed from places of inky blackness into bluish white patches, dropped through the trees like monstrous silver thalers. The town lay behind them in a glorifying haze; the river stretched silver-scaled in the moonlight, like a gigantic fish-back. Krafft walked in front of his companion, in preoccupied silence.
She stopped for a moment when her visitor was announced to ask merrily in a loud voice without ever caring whether she were heard through the wall: "What does he want? What is his name? Christophe? Christophe what? Christophe Krafft? What a name!" "It is like a swear " "Is he young or old? Pleasant? Very well. I'll come."
When Maurice entered, he was stretched on the sofa, with closed eyes; on his chest slept Wotan, the one-eyed cat, now growing sleek and fat. While Maurice was trying to rally him, Krafft sprang up.
Besides Seth there were in the group Jotham Hale, Eben Newcomb, Andy Mullane, Fritz Hendricks, and a merry, red-faced boy who, because of his German extraction, went by the name of "Noodles Krafft."
I want to talk to Hys at once." It came as a shock that it was Professor-Commander Krafft who answered. "I'm sorry, Brion, but it's impossible to talk to Hys. We are monitoring his frequency and your call was relayed to me. Hys and his rebels lifted ship about half an hour ago, and are already on the way back to Nyjord. Are you ready to leave now?
"I'm afraid the spark is about out with you, John," said Krafft thoughtfully. He walked on a few steps, then turned back. "John," he asked, "what is your contribution to society?" The beggar stared, uncertain of this new chaff. "The true theory of business, John, is that traffic which does not result In reciprocal advantages to buyer and seller is illegitimate, or at least abnormal."
