Run out and get us a theater wagon." I went out to the carriage man in a trance. The gods, of a deed, were fighting furiously on Natica's side for she could not have foreseen this vantage, readily as she swung her attack by its aid. Exquisite torture, truly, to flaunt a husband's folly in his own face, over his own mahogany, with the source of that folly looking on.
More than that, she wished to face him in company with a man not of her sort, even as he Drayton was escorting a woman whose lane of living did not rightly cross his. The coincidence of Natica's means-to-an-end being the Hartopp's husband, was simply a gift of fate; an opportunity of administering poetic justice, which could not be denied.
I saw Jack turn away from the mountain in the Yale rowing shirt, and his eyes met Natica's squarely for the first time since Cherry's. Something he read in them made him laugh. This was only for the fraction of a second, however, for a glove, with the nth power behind it, lifted him a clear three feet into a stack of gilt chairs near his own corner.
Near the hinge was a smooth, round hole, through which the poor Clam had been sucked. Foot, stomach, siphon, muscles, all but a thin strip of mantle, were gone. The problem of the Natica's existence was solved, and the verification was found in more than one Buccinum minus the animal, the number of the latter victims being still an unknown quantity.
And I obediently piled the gilt parlor furniture in corners. The Hartopp fluttered anxiously around Natica the while. She was a woman, and she was beginning to half understand. "Please," she said, touching Natica's arm. "Jim's been drinking, and he's very rough when he's been drinking. We've all been foolish, but only foolish, remember. Jim and I sail for London next week.
I can tell you that, and I know. And I tell you that Jim's been drinking. Jack will " Natica's pose stiffened, but she did not look around. "Yes, Jack will what?" she said, coldly. The Hartopp flushed. "He'll be hurt," she finished, weakly. Then, as the two from upstairs entered, she whispered: "He'll be hurt worse than you are now."
