Her voice broke and merged into a paroxysm of sobbing, and MacNutt looked at her bent and shaken figure with meditative coldness. "He may have beaten me, once, long ago but he'll never do it again. He won't even go out fightin'! He'll go with his head hangin' and his nose down, like a sneak!
As he pictured, in his mind, each anticipated phase of the struggle he felt come over him, for the second time, a sort of blind and irrational fury, the fury of a rat in a corner, fighting for its life and the life of its mate. "And here's where we two hang out!" It was MacNutt who spoke.
"And you, shut up!" he added to MacNutt, now horrible to look upon with suppressed rage. "This woman lifted a package of mine, officer," said Durkin quickly. "If it's intact, why, let her go!" His fingers closed, talon-like, on the manila envelope. He flashed the unbroken red seal at the officer, with a little laugh of triumph.
The machine-like precision with which each advance was watched and guarded, disheartened the imprisoned woman. "I'm boss here for a while, and I'm goin' to clean out the building, so that you can have this little picnic all to your lonely!" remarked MacNutt, as he pushed her on.
It is my hope that you will all be happy and that we may meet again and again. 12 April 1912 Talk at Home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard MacNutt 935 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York This is a most happy visit. I have crossed the sea from the land of the Orient for the joy of meeting the friends of God.
She drew her hands down, shudderingly, over her averted face, as though to shut something even from her imagination. "And do you know what'll be the end of it all?" MacNutt went on, in his frenzied mockery.
"Quick, Jim, quick!" she reiterated, as she supported him through the low gate, and kept her arm in his as they passed down the dark lane, with its homely smells of early cookery and baking bread. Only one passion possessed them the blind and persistent and unreasoning passion for escape, for freedom. "But MacNutt where's MacNutt?" demanded Durkin, coming to a stop.
A sound of voices floated out to them and MacNutt tightened his grip on the other's arm, as they stood and listened, for it was Frances Durkin and Keenan talking together, hurriedly, impetuously, earnestly. "But does it make any difference what I have been, or who I am?" the woman's voice was asking. "I did my part; I did my work for you. Now you ought to give me a chance!"
"You don't notice anything strikin'?" he interrogated wickedly. She did not. He emitted a guttural little growl of a laugh, and stepped over to a half-hidden switchboard, high up on the wall. He threw the lever out and down, and the kiss of the meeting metals sounded in a short and malevolent spit of greenish light. "Are you on?" taunted MacNutt.
MacNutt pressed a second button, and the twelve electric fans of burnished brass hummed and sang and droned, and filled the room with a stir of air. "A little diff'rent, my dear, from the way they did business when you and me were pikers, up in the West Forties, eh?"
