Averting her eyes from the dead body, she stepped delicately, as if fearing to wake it, to the other side of the way, and picked up the revolver which Ockley had dropped in his fall. Her heart gave a great pulse of delight. This was a thing which Dick needed, and Dick must have everything he desired.
I bade her adieu; and, to give her her due, she had a good eare, daunst truly, and wee parted friends. Kemp, you perceive, wrote as well as he danced. I wish he had danced less and written more. It seems that he never wrote anything but this one delightful pamphlet. He died three years later, in the thirtieth year of his age died dancing, with his bells on his legs, in the village of Ockley.
It was Ockley; even at three hundred yards Dick could distinguish the black beard and heavy shoulders of the enemy, who was gazing from his high point, not in the direction of the fugitives, but along the moorland path to "The Coach and Horses" the path which lay open to his eye for its whole length.
Simon Ockley, an original in every sense, first opened my eyes; and I was led from one book to another, till I had ranged round the circle of Oriental history.
The work of the Arabists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, such men as the Pocockes, father and son, Ockley and Sale, supplements or expands the teaching of Locke and of Hume.
He had seen her bending over Ockley, and went to meet her. Dimly she saw him, and stretched out her hands, lifting the pistol. "It's for you," she said; and fainted, falling forward into his arms.
He fell and lay beyond the projection of the hearth on the other side of which was Melchard, still as death. With the sleeve of his shirt Dick wiped the blood from his cheek, looked down at Ockley, and then up at Amaryllis, half-way down the stair. "That's four. Where's the fifth?" he asked. "He ran out there," she answered. "You frightened him."
Will that be good for your health with the whole game in your hands, too?" Melchard was hit, and Dick thought that he saw his face lose colour. "Well?" he said nervously. "Either fetch medical aid," replied Ockley, "or bury him under the ash-heap. And that's going a bit far for an accident." "Was he pushed?
"Por Dios!" he wailed, "it iss Limping Deek!" and so fled. Dick followed up his advantage, forcing the pace, but Ockley would have none of it until he had worked himself into the middle of the floor; then suddenly coming again, got home with a tremendous right which Dick failed to stop with anything better than his left cheek-bone.
All but the Woman and the Dago were more or less damaged; none, it was probable, knew in what direction Ockley had disappeared; fear of the evidence he held against them might now prompt them rather to flight than pursuit; and what, he asked himself, could that yellow-haired she-devil, even if the little Dago that had bolted were faithful to his fellows, do against him now?
