When Alexander set out on her ten-mile walk hefting the pack that held her necessaries for the trip, Jerry O'Keefe materialized grinning amiably from a clump of laurel. It was characteristic of Jerry to so appear from nowhere. Now he nodded, and his eyes were brimming with that infectious smile of his.
"Doc was sitting in his hammock playing 'Dixie, soft and low and out of tune, on his flute. I interrupted him at 'Look away! look away! and shook his hand for five minutes. "'I never thought, says Doc, taking a chew fretfully, 'that I'd ever try to save any blame Yank's life. But, Mr. O'Keefe, I don't see but what you are entitled to be considered part human, anyhow.
"And yet " faltered the handmaiden as we passed into her chamber, and doubtful were the eyes she turned upon the O'Keefe. "I don't believe," he said, "there's a kick left in them " What was that sound beating into the chamber faintly, so faintly? My heart gave a great throb and seemed to stop for an eternity. What was it coming nearer, ever nearer?
Give them to him and send him at once." "Yes, sir, I will. But if you'll take my advice, you won't say anything to Mr. Curtis. He might think it foolish." "True! If your friend succeeds, we'll give Curtis a surprise." "And a mighty disagreeable one, I'll be bound," soliloquized Mrs. O'Keefe. "I think, Mrs. Barnes, I will retire to my chamber, if you will assist me." She assisted Mr.
Here was but another of the species in which the development's rate was incredibly accelerated. Some of this I tried to explain to O'Keefe as we sped along, reassuring him. "But they turned to moss before our eyes!" he said. Again I explained, patiently.
And remembering, with a little shock of apprehension, that he had no knowledge of the Dweller beyond my poor description of it for there are no words actually to describe what that miracle of interwoven glory and horror was I wondered what Larry O'Keefe would say and do when he did behold it! Rador began to show impatience. "Come!" he urged. "There is much to be done and the time grows short!"
But I had heard no banshee wailing and Larry had said he could not die without that warning no, Larry was not dead. So ran the turbulent current of my mind. A horny arm lifted me; two enormous, oddly gentle saucer eyes were staring into mine; my head rolled; I caught a glimpse of the Golden Girl kneeling beside the O'Keefe.
The door through which we had come had vanished! There was only a precipice of pale rock, on whose surfaces great patches of the amber moss hung; around whose base our ledge ran, and whose summits, if summits it had, were hidden, like the luminous cliffs, in the radiance above us. "Nowhere to go but ahead and Golden Eyes hasn't kept her date!" laughed O'Keefe but somewhat grimly.
"Listen to me, Goodwin," He took up his walk impatiently. "I've all the love and admiration for you in the world; but this place has got your nerve. Hereafter one Larry O'Keefe, of Ireland and the little old U. S. A., leads this party. Nix on the tremolo stop, nix on the superstition! I'm the works. Get me?" "Yes, I get you!" I exclaimed testily enough.
Next morning I sent back to Wright all the cavalry except one regiment, which escorted me through Manassas Gap to the terminus of the railroad from Washington. I had with me Lieutenant-Colonel James W. Forsyth, chief-of-staff, and three of my aides, Major George A. Forsyth, Captain Joseph O'Keefe, and Captain Michael V. Sheridan.
