Crow couldn't help admiring the newcomer's clothes. He wore a red coat trimmed with gold braid, and bright blue trousers. "That's a handsome suit that you have on," Mr. Crow observed. "I shouldn't mind having one like it myself." The stranger seemed pleased. And he touched his cap again. "I'm afraid you can't have a suit like this," he said. "It's a uniform that's what it is.
All that Philip noticed for himself in the newcomer's mien for the first few seconds was a certain distinct air of social superiority, an innate nobility of gait and bearing. So much at least he observed at a glance quite instinctively.
Her composure was returning in bounds; for this girl, herself born in the mountains, possessed too much innate fortitude to be long dominated by fear. "Thank you," her voice still trembled. "I I must have been frightened." Then quickly: "Yes, this is Miss Jane's school, and I am Miss Jane." A curious sound rattled in the newcomer's throat, and his chin dropped with stupid amazement.
She caught her breath suddenly at the sound of the newcomer's voice. "I couldn't get here earlier, as I promised, Rooke, and I'm afraid the daylight's gone. However, I've no doubt Mrs. Van Decken will look equally charming by artificial light. In fact, I should have said it was her natural element."
The fugitive did not make his toilet immediately, because of the irresistible temptation to gaze about him. The walls of the kitchen were low; but in the newcomer's eyes this was an added attraction, because it gave to the room such an hospitable appearance.
Though the shadows were too deep for my eyes to serve me, yet I could follow the newcomer's approach quite easily by the sound he made; indeed, I was particularly struck by the prodigious rustling of leaves. Whoever it was must be big and bulky, I thought, and clad, probably, in a long, trailing garment.
But, when the apparition of a black individual appeared he retreated frantically, relinquishing his choice feeding-ground without a show of resentment or any desire to question the newcomer's status. So it had been always. The other jaguars shunned Warruk because they feared him. And being thus made an outcast intensified the black one's naturally savage and truculent disposition.
"Excuse me, sir," interrupted a keen, brisk, breezy-looking man, who had entered the shop only a moment or two before. "There's a way that the railroad can get over the Man-killer." "What is that?" asked Duff, eyeing the newcomer's reflected image in the mirror. "The first thing to do," replied the stranger, "is to drop these boy engineers out of the game.
The landlord at his door-post drew them into talk about the heat, the emptiness of Paris and the happy lot of those who could go into villeggiatura in the country. The arrival of a perspiring cabman in a red waistcoat and glazed hat caused him to retire within and administer to the newcomer's needs. "One of my reasons for looking you up," said Sypher, "was to make my apologies." "Apologies?"
Let me take your suit case." "With pleasure. It's altogether too heavy for comfort. Are there no street cars or busses we can take? I like to walk, but not when I have luggage to carry." "We can take a car or an automobile bus if you like," said Grace courteously, although she experienced a vague sense of annoyance at this newcomer's calmly expressed preference.
