"I do think, Lydia," he said mildly, after they had discussed the morning session, "you should have told me what was going on. But there, I suppose, I'd have raised Cain, if you had." "Is Mr. Levine very angry with me?" asked Lydia. "He didn't say. I don't see how he can be. After all, the stuff was bound to come out, sooner or later. He's got something up his sleeve.
A year ago I see one of the fellows riding out with Marshall." Levine grunted. Lydia's heart was pounding so hard that it really pained her. She stared at John unbelievably. Yet it was the same familiar, sallow face, with the gaunt look about the cheeks. Only the eyes were strange. Lydia had never seen them so hard, so searching before.
"This, however, was not the act of Alompra, but of the treachery of a Frenchman named Levine, and of an Armenian; who incited the Burmese of the district to exterminate the English hoping, no doubt, thus to retrieve, in a new quarter, the fortunes of France, which in India were being extinguished by the genius of Clive.
It was found that he held heavily mortgaged second growth timber lands in the northern part of the State and Kent spent a month superintending a re-survey of them. He was very much broken up by Levine's death, and welcomed the heavy work. In spite of Lydia's deep affection for Levine, she did not feel his death as much as Amos did.
"I'm getting too old for laps," said Lydia, coming very willingly nevertheless within the compass of John's long arms. "But I love you next to Daddy now, in all the world." John swept her to his knees and put his cheek against hers for a moment, while tears gleamed in his black eyes. "Eat your supper and go to bed, Lydia," said Amos. "Don't be so cross, Amos," protested Levine.
Levine would find some excuse for entering the shop, engage the clerk in conversation, and having secured his attention would produce one of his watches and extol its merits at length, explaining what a great bargain it was and how only owing to an exceptional concatenation of circumstances he was able to offer it for the ridiculously low figure of thirty dollars.
Levine received Me and was as Courteous and Polished as ever, but Rachael had a Headache and did not come out. Mary and I have been there Twice since, and with the same result. Levine assured us that he had begged her to see her Sisters, but that She is in a very low and melancholy state, owing doubtless to her Condition.
"It's hard to realize that he's the scandalous John Levine," she said. "He's simply charming!" Lydia flared, flushed and subsided. Never again, she realized, could she contradict aspersions cast on Levine's character. And yet, how like a bad dream the episode of last night seemed. If only it had been a dream!
You're the man then that my sister " his voice rose to a shout. "I'll beat the face off of you right now." And he made a sudden spring for the astonished Levine. "Nature counts no day as wasted." The Murmuring Pine. Amos and Kent caught Charlie by either arm as his hands clutched for Levine's throat. Marshall did not stir out of his chair.
I've reached that heavenly, shining shore My heaven, my home, for evermore." Suddenly the nurse shifted John's head and Doc Fulton lifted Lydia to her feet. "Take her home, Amos," he said. John Levine had finished the Great Search. Curiously enough, nothing could have done so much toward reinstating Lake City in the good opinion of the country at large as did Levine's tragic death.
