The light they had come from a lantern hung on a nail. I went and stood in the door, and they looked at me, and I said: "'Mr. Wahrfield, you are my prisoner. I hope, for the lady's sake, you will take the matter sensibly. You know why I want you. "'Who are you? says the old gent. "'O'Day, says I, 'of the Columbia Detective Agency. And now, sir, let me give you a piece of good advice.
It's MR. Felix O'Day around here, and there ain't a finer nor a better. What do ye know about him?" Her voice had softened and a slight shade of anxiety had crept into it. John craned his head to hear the better. "Nothing to his discredit. He has had a lot of trouble terrible trouble more than anybody I know. I heard he had gone to Australia. I see now that he came to New York.
At once old Colonel Farrell had hitched his chair up alongside O'Day; had asked him several questions in a tone inaudible to those about them; had listened to the whispered answers of O'Day; and then had nodded his huge curly white dome of a head, as though amply satisfied with the responses. Let us skip the preliminaries.
"Now," said Nora, the order having been given, "I'll tell you some facts about myself and my family you never knew. I know who has brought this strike about, and I know how to stop it." She spoke calmly, methodically. Dr. Morgan seated herself to listen. Miss O'Day began her story. When she had finished, the horses were at the door, Jefferies with them. Dr. Morgan hesitated.
"Since you feel as you do about Nora O'Day, that she is sorry and all that, and since she is a friend of yours, I'll withdraw my objections to her. Of course, I feel as you do. It is not right to judge anyone. I'll not remember her past deeds against her. Bring along your paper when you go into class, and I'll put down my name, and I'll promise for Min, too." Elizabeth wheeled suddenly about.
Miss O'Day has infringed upon this rule. Consequently she may pass immediately to her apartments, change her gown, and spend the evening in her room, without conversing with anyone. You may be excused, Miss O'Day." From a table at a distant part of the room, Miss O'Day arose.
The Englishman caught his breath. "Do you know who he is?" he asked cautiously. "Of course I do! Do you happen to know him?" John had moved up now and stood listening. "Not personally, but, unless I am very much mistaken, that is Sir Felix O'Day." "Ye ain't mistaken, you're dead right all but the 'Sir. That's somethin' new to me.
The expressman, who stood six feet in his stockings, looked first at his wife, then at Kling, and then at the applicant, and broke out into a loud guffaw. "It's a joke, Kitty. Don't let 'em fool ye. Go on, Otto; try it somewhere else! It's my busy day. Here, Mike!" "You drop Mike and listen, John! It's no joke not for Mr. O'Day.
It meant nothing to them that their teachers were always men like O'Day, who, while lining their own pockets with the laborers' earnings, cry out against the men who are getting more, though lawfully. It never came to their untrained minds that O'Day proved nothing. He said so, that was enough. O'Day listened to the muttered growls of dissatisfaction.
To her surprise Miss O'Day was not there, having slipped away at the beginning of Elizabeth's talk. The girls applauded heartily. Someone else arose to speak. Elizabeth's enthusiasm having died suddenly away, she felt very limp and weak. She was surprised at her own boldness. "I'm going back to our room," she whispered to Mary Wilson. "I feel all gone." "Yes, I can sympathize with you.
