But what I mean is, what I was going to say was that my recollection of her in that one moment would have been the one precious thing left for me to treasure through the pitch-darkness.... You remember or perhaps not that about a hand's breadth of it the desert, you know shining alone in the salt leagues round about...." "N-no. I don't think I do. Is it ... a ... Coleridge?" "No Robert Browning.
"Yes," cried the latter eagerly, "it would topple it over right down into the glen." "There's an old stupid for you," said Bob, looking at me. Then turning to Bigley he said sharply, "Why, I haven't got my pockets full of powder, have I?" "N-no," stammered Bigley, who was taken aback by his fierce way. "And powder don't grow in the furze pops, does it?" "N-no," faltered Bigley; "but "
"I wish to ask you something." "With pleasure," she said; "go ahead." And she settled back, fearlessly expectant. "Very well, then," he said, striving to speak coolly. "It is this: Will you marry me, Eileen?" She turned perfectly white and stared at him, stunned. And he repeated his question, speaking slowly, but unsteadily. "N-no," she said; "I cannot. Why why, you know that, don't you?"
"I did my best, w-without offending Gerald. Can you believe me?" "I know you did. . . . Don't mind what I said " "N-no, not now. . . . You do believe me, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "Thank you. . . . And, Phil, I will try to s-steer straight because you ask me." "You must." "I will. . . . It is good to be here. . . . I must not come again, must I?" "Not again, Alixe." "On your account?"
"We can't row this boat, you chump!" "N-No, b-but one of us c-c-can t-take a line in the t-t-tender, and t-tow her." "They'll go three feet to our one." "That's all right," I said, "it's worth trying. We can keep away from them for a while. There's a breeze coming out of those clouds in a few minutes, and then we can sail around them in circles." I was anxious to get away.
Nothing, except my citizen's papers and a letter of introduction to General Maximo Gomez." O'Reilly suddenly lost what appetite remained to him. "Nothing EXCEPT a letter to General Gomez!" he cried. "Good Lord, Branch! Were you ever shot at sunrise?" The reporter coughed dismally. "N-no! It's too damp. I suppose you mean to hint I'd better destroy that letter, eh?" "Just as quickly as possible.
You ought to know her, too. You would, if you didn't shut yourself up in the office, away from the world." "N-no, I don't recall that I've ever met the lady. Ah, here's the note, just sit down a minute while I read it." Mr. Grimston shot back into his seat again, while Mr. van Tromp wiped his large, circular glasses.
You go forward, Blodgett, and drag him out by the scalp-lock." Blodgett walked off, keeping close to the bulwark, and five minutes later he was back again. Mr. Kipping grew very red. "Well, my man," he said in a way that made my skin creep, "are you a party to this little mutiny?" "N-no, sir," Blodgett stammered. "I he-it ain't no use, he can't come."
Er not that they would," he added hastily "not that they would." Cynthia climbed up beside him on the haystack. "Uncle Jethro," she said solemnly, "when you make a senator or a judge, I don't interfere, do I?" He looked at her uneasily, for there were moments when he could not for the life of him make out her drift. "N-no," he assented, "of course not, Cynthy." "Why is it that I don't interfere?"
Now he exclaimed: "Your pardon, senora, but I am just now very little interested in your domestic relations; they do not thrill me as my own prospective happiness does. What you say about Rosa only makes me more eager, for I loathe a sleepy woman. Now tell me, is she Has she any-affairs of the heart?" "N-no, unless perhaps a flirtation with that young American, Juan O'Reilly."
