Percival." "And what chance had poor Landover with that highwayman, or whatever he is, pointing a revolver at him through the porthole and threatening to blow his brains out if he did not throw up his hands and let Percival alone?" Olga Obosky bandaged Percival's hand. She intercepted him on his way to Dr. Cullen's cabin.
As a matter of fact, the end of the first week found him occupying the position of General Manager for the whole enterprise, an unsolicited honour but one which he was resolved that no one, great or small, should deride. He had one stormy "run-in," as he described it, with Mr. Landover and his group of satellites.
I'm not saying you are the guilty man, but you know who he is, and it won't work." Manuel Crust was as rigid as a block of stone. He did not even turn his head to look into the face of the man who held him. Michael Malone and Landover were at Percival's side in an instant.
Why should he be required to wash himself if he didn't want to do so? And why should he do a great many silly things that Dr. Cullen ordered, just because a lot of aristocrats were in the habit of doing them? His hatred of Landover, however, was impersonal. The banker merely represented a class.
What I'm coming to is this. As long as I am in charge of this job, every man, woman and child has got to do something. Just at present there isn't much that the women and children can do, but there is work for every man who can stand on his feet. You needn't glare at me. I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Landover. You say you are going to stay on this ship.
"Oh, yes," replied Mr. Nicklestick. "We were in the same lifeboat, Mr. Landover, you know, all night, you know, Mr. Landover." Early the next morning, Percival turned out long before there were any sounds from the galley or dining-room. The sun had not yet cleared the tree-tops to the east; the decks of the Doraine were still wet with dew.
I am hurt, terribly hurt. Nothing you can say will help matters now, Mr. Landover." "Just a second, Ruth," he cried, now thoroughly dismayed. "Give me a chance to explain. It was my mad, unreasoning love that " But, with an exclamation of sheer disgust, she put her fingers to her ears and sped rapidly down the walk.
Landover, it was worth while," she said, and went on, leaving him to reflections that were as perplexing as they were unanticipated. She experienced a short spell of triumph. After all, Percival was in love with her. She did not need Olga Obosky to tell her that. She could see, she could feel for herself.
Menial labour fell to the lot of the lordly but uncomplaining Landover, to Block and Nicklestick, Jones and Snipe, and even to the precious Signor Joseppi, who, forgetting his Caruso-like throat, toiled and sweated in the smoky saloon.
"Can you vouch for each and every member of his gang?" "I know nothing about his gang, as you call it. If I am not mistaken, this fellow Mendez is one of your pet supporters. He may be double-crossing you." "We'll see. For the present, your friend Crust is safe. As long as he lives within the law, he is all right. We're going to have law and order here, Mr. Landover. I want you to understand that.
