For a moment I could not move out of my tracks. Then I saw Bill and Herky running up the gorge, and, farther down, Bud staggering and lurching. This lent me wings. In two jumps I had grabbed my rifle; then, turning, I ran round the pool, and started up the one place in the steep wall where climbing was possible. Above the yells of the men I heard Dick's piercing cry: "Go-go-go, Ken!"
"Wait for me, Señor," he whispered, then went to the front of the café where Benton lost him in a crowd at the door. A moment later he came lurching back. His lower lip was stupidly pendent, his eyes heavy and dull, and as he floundered about he dropped with the aimless air of one heavily intoxicated into a chair by a vacant table not more than ten feet distant from that of Louis, the Dreamer.
Then the woman's voice, shrill but subdued: "I don' love you no mo', Frank." "You got er nice home 'n nice lil' babies, 'n you goin' to leave 'em fo' a yaller man is you?" They were opposite us now, walking very slowly and occasionally lurching against each other. "Yo' ain't goin' ter make trouble, Frank?" "I ain't goin' ter give you up, Lily." "You ain't? How you goin' ter fix fo' ter keep me?"
When that affair was settled Liberalism had had her innings, there was no longer a single dominant intellectual force; but the old storms, slowly subsiding, left the ship of the University lurching and rolling in a heavy swell. People believed in Liberalism!
She locked herself about that neck with her strength she clung with her might. She flattened her body and gripped with her fingers and with her toes long since having kicked off her low shoes. Away and away they went, coming out into the moonlight long enough to see a mass of dun shadows rising and falling, lurching and rolling, on all sides.
He was thoroughly enjoying the chase in his own way. The lurching of the vehicle did not disturb him, and he felt a certain pleasure in the freedom from any immediate responsibility. There was an excitement, too, in not knowing where the chase would carry. It was all a strange section of the city where they now were.
This retarded their labour, and, in the mean time the fire was making rapid progress; the main-mast which had long been burning, fell over the side with the lurching of the vessel, and the flames out of the main-deck ports soon showed their points above the bulwarks, while volumes of smoke were poured in upon the upper-deck almost suffocating the numbers which were crowded there; for all communication with the fore-part of the ship had been for some time cut off by the flames, and every one had retreated aft.
And then, walking swiftly, Brayley came out of the trees and hurried, lurching, toward the corral. "What are you waitin' for?" he cried, sharply, when twenty paces away. "Ain't you got nothin' to do to-day?" Conniston made no answer, turning his eyes gravely upon Brayley's face, waiting for the man to come up to him. "Can't you hear?" called Brayley again, more sharply, coming on swiftly.
The bailiff can get a boat of his own if he wants one!" At last the keys were found. Then it appeared that two oars were missing. Again there was a great hullabaloo. Pyotr Dmitritch, who was weary of pacing about the bank, jumped into a long, narrow boat hollowed out of the trunk of a poplar, and, lurching from side to side and almost falling into the water, pushed off from the bank.
The lurching, vagabond hound that one sees not infrequently in certain parts of the country, following suspicious-looking characters clad in coats with suspiciously roomy pockets, might, no doubt, be easily trained to take salmon from burns, or from the shallow water into which, in the autumn, the fish often run.
