"Nothing like a soft sponge, cold water, and a bit o' scented soap those are Mr Lacey's to comfort you up. Of course, it depends on the oppyrator. I've seen women soaping little kids and making 'em squirm and yell, when I've felt as I could ha' washed the poor little things and made 'em laugh all the time. This is one of Mr Lacey's towels, too he wouldn't mind me bringing 'em.
Make it short, please. Come to the point." Miss Lacey's spirit arose. A human soul was involved, and no man, be he lawyer or lover, should browbeat or persuade her. "Judge Trent," she began emphatically, fixing him with eyes which he but now perceived were swollen, "don't think to hurry me. I've come here on serious business. Men call you an eminent lawyer, a brilliant man.
As the traveller neared the fresh-made fire, David saw that it was Lacey. He went eagerly to meet him. "Thee has news," he said. "I see it is so." He held Lacey's hand in his. "Say, you are going on that expedition, Saadat. You wanted money. Will a quarter of a million do?" David's eyes caught fire. From the monastery there came the voices of the monks: "O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands.
"Hey, Joe; we need some more boxes!" he exclaimed, again looking at his arm. "Yes," came Johnny's voice. "Three of 'em five of 'em, an' about six feet long an' a foot deep. But if my outfit gets here in time we'll want more'n a dozen." "Say! Lacey's firing now!" suddenly cried Barr. "He's shooting out of his windy. That'll stop 'em from rushing us!
As he swung towards another horseman, who had struck down a defender of the trenches, an Arab raised himself in his saddle and flung a lance with a cry of terrible malice; but, even as he did so, a bullet from Lacey's pistol pierced his shoulder. The shot had been too late to stop the lance, but sufficient to divert its course.
Judge Trent had read something of disapproval in Miss Lacey's glance as she greeted him a few minutes ago, and he thought of her now as he sat tilted back, his thumbs hooked easily in his arm holes, while he watched the glistening dampness dry from his shoes. "Martha probably disapproved because I didn't have on my rubbers," he thought, an inward jerk acknowledging the humor of the situation.
He doesn't know the suspense I'm in. I suppose she's told him how hateful I was, and he thinks I don't care." "Yes, a letter came only to-day. Here it is. It was one of my errands to bring it." "Good news? Oh, is it good news?" Miss Lacey's attitude changed alertly, and she seized the offered envelope. "I don't know," replied John. "She's there."
"H'm," thought the judge uncomfortably, "I guess she's got some of the Trent old Adam to buck up against." His gaze did not remove from the half-averted head with its sun-crowned, red-gold aureole. "Who'd have thought Sam Lacey's carrot-top could be made over into that?" he mused.
"Well, we know where he is. But it's no place for you." "Take me at once. I don't care what it is." "But I do. So does Lacey. His plan was to shanghai him and sober him up. But well it is your right to say whether he shall do that or not. You wanted to find him yourself. But Five Points is no place for you, and I want your permission to carry out Lacey's program." "What is Five Points?"
Nothing portable of any value was left for a marauding hand, and, moreover, the neighbors on both sides always willingly kept an eye on Miss Martha's interests. They rejoiced generously in that summer work of hers, which she assured them was just play. One summer, several years ago, it had been generally known among Miss Lacey's friends that she had been ailing for some time.
