"Vat vat do they call each other?" "Men," said Percival, and walked away. He was followed closely by Careni-Amori and Olga Obosky, and at some distance by the whispering, gesticulating Jews. The great soprano was profoundly agitated. Obosky, a pace or two behind her, was tense and silent. Her head was slightly bent.
If you could only call me Monsieur Percival, or Senor Percival, or even Herr Percival, it wouldn't seem so bad, but Mister Percival, well, it's pretty soft, isn't it, Miss Clinton?" "Please hold your hand still, Mr. Percival," ordered the girl. She smiled up at the puzzled dancer. "His name is Mr. Percival, Madame Obosky. That's the poor creature's last name." "Oh, I see.
"No, I do not," she replied, shaking her head slowly. Suddenly her eyes widened. "Is it because I dance in my bare feet, in my bare legs, that you think so vilely of me?" He stared. "Good Lord! I don't think vilely of you, Madame Obosky. I wasn't even aware that you danced in your bare feet and legs." "You have never seen Obosky dance?" she cried in astonishment. "Never." She frowned.
Later on, supplied with a roll of gauze, Madame Obosky set out in quest of her preserver. Even the veterans among the seamen gazed upon her in wondering admiration as she made her way about the ship. She was a revelation to them. The increasing fury of the storm had driven all save the hardiest sailors and a few of the non-praying male passengers to their rooms.
Fernandez, wild with fury, shrieked vengeance upon the head of Olga Obosky. Out of his ravings, the unsavoury crew gleaned enough to convince them that he was responsible for their present unhappy plight. "You will pay for this, you snake!" he yelled, foaming at the mouth and shaking his fist at her. "I will drink your heart's blood! Remember what Joe Fernandez says.
She had a sickening impression that Percival would fail to play the part according to her conception. In fact, he was quite capable of not playing it at all. Moreover, there was Olga Obosky to be reckoned with.
"It is all my fault," began Madame Obosky, standing before them, her feet wide apart, her knees bent slightly to meet the varying slants and lurches of the vessel. She spoke the English language confidently and well. Her accent, which was scarcely noticeable, betrayed the fact that she had mastered French long before attempting English.
Spofford took his arm, leaning heavily against him. Her figure had straightened, however. He had given her the needed confidence. They made their way up the steps leading to the topmost deck. Others had already preceded them. A dozen men and women were looking out over the sea through their binoculars. Olga Obosky was well forward, seated on the edge of a partially wrecked skylight and ventilator.
Once she stopped him to inquire if Miss Clinton was still able to dress his wounds. "Once a day," he replied. "She's even pluckier than you are, Madame Obosky." Her eyes narrowed. "Indeed?" "Yes, because she believes we are going to die every one of us. It takes pluck to keep going when you've got that sort of thing to face, doesn't it?"
Percival, are decadent races," she said coolly, as if there were nothing more to be said on the subject. "Please, Mademoiselle," she went on, briskly, "will you not let me see how you have prepared his hands? I mean, how have you, is it right to say fixed them?" "Dressed them, you mean, Madame Obosky." "I see. First you undress them, then you dress them, is it not so?" Ruth Clinton laughed.
