When every hour counted as a victory over time, she could not understand how Winn could let her go; and yet he had said quite definitely: "I want you to go to Miss Marley this evening. She'd like to talk to you, and I think you'd better." But something happened which changed her feelings.
"Syd, you are ill?" exclaimed Rex, forgetting about what he had been saying. "You ought to be at home at once." "Never mind about me, Reggie. Tell me what you were just telling Scott." "I didn't think it was any harm. A good many people in Marley know it now. I was telling him about about Mr. Tyler's will." "What about it?"
But you had never done it before. And, the only time, a man is nearly murdered in your house." "Perfectly correct," David murmured. "Gaboriau could not have put it better. You might have been a pupil of my remarkable acquaintance Hatherly Bell." "I am a pupil of Mr. Bell's," Marley said, quietly.
The one episode turned Vespasian's bald statements into real emotional facts, and the other was the first serious collision between the far-off disastrous tutelage of Marley Sartin and the new laws of existence as propounded by Aymer Aston. Christopher's education made vast strides during that winter. The season proved an unusually mild one.
We intended to present Dickens' Christmas Carol, Scrooge and Marley, but in consequence of our trip to the West Indies it was postponed until the coming Easter. The play was dramatized by Sergeant Smith; the characters had been cast and rehearsed before we left.
"Why, isn't that funny, and oh, isn't it dear! Elsie Marley, honey!" The other girl looked blank. "Of course you know the song, or at least the rhyme?" "Song? Rhyme?" "Why, yes. You must have heard it: 'And Do You Ken Elsie Marley, Honey?"
"And you must remember they have their recommendations: they keep silly people comparatively safe." "Safe!" said Claire. "I think that's the emptiest, poorest word there is! Who wants to be safe?" "You wouldn't think so if you had a child," said Miss Marley, quietly. "You would need safety then, and you would learn to prize it." Claire bowed her head into her hands. "Oh, why can't I have one now!
He took me out with him. You see," he broke off parenthetically, "I stayed with Martha, that's Mrs. Sartin, all the day while mother took care of a gentleman's house, and sometimes Marley was there, and he taught me things." "What things?" Christopher shifted his position a bit, and tossed a piece of wood into the fire.
He did not glance round them. He did not think of himself, nor of his own danger should two or three of them back up their fellow and commence to hustle him. He felt nothing but a cool though intensely savage determination to subdue this burly brute, to defend his position and title, though it cost him his life. "There can be only one boss here," he said coldly, as Marley hesitated before him.
"Bogus," said Steel. "We turned him out of the house. Is he wanted?" Marley explained that he was wanted on three different charges; in fact, the inspector had the warrants in his pocket at the present moment. "Well, it's only by good chance that you haven't got one for me," David laughed.
