I can even look a butler in the eye without feelin' shivery along the spine. But these forty-cover affairs at the Twombley-Cranes', with a dinner dance crush afterwards and a buffet supper at one-thirty A.M. that's where I get off.
"I'll be glad to," I said, and meant it, for I liked Philip Vantine. "I'll look for you, then, about one-thirty." And that is how it happened that, an hour later, I was walking over toward Washington Square, just above which, on the Avenue, the old Vantine mansion stood.
In Triplett's great rough paw was a fountain-pen filler of fresh water which he gently dropped on the flowerlet's unturned face. At exactly one-thirty, solar time, the tiny petals fluttered faintly and closed. "She's gone," groaned Triplett, and dashed a tear, the size of a robin's egg, from his furrowed cheek. In that ghastly light we stared at each other. We were lost!
Francesca and I had secretly provided for that contingency, and curling up on a sofa we drew toward us a little table which Dawson had spread with a galantine of chicken, some cress sandwiches, and a jug of milk. At one-thirty we were quite overcome with sleep, and retired to our beds, where of course we speedily grew wakeful.
It was one-thirty already. Not much chance of reaching Legonia in time to accomplish much to-day. "Tell McCoy I'll be at the cannery before four o'clock." Dickie flashed a glance at the clock on the Richard's dash at Gregory's words. Every minute was going to count. It was up to the speed-boat to show what she could do. Opening the cut-out, the girl began to get the speed-craft under way.
When the eventful day arrived, the hands, instead of working till one, were paid at twelve o'clock and rushed off home to have a wash and change. The brakes were to start from the 'Cricketers' at one, but it was arranged, for the convenience of those who lived at Windley, that they were to be picked up at the Cross Roads at one-thirty.
I don't believe that anything but love could work such a miracle with Ruth. If only she had waited, perhaps it would have performed more wonderful feats. The book incident was the first indication of trouble. The second was more trivial. It happened one Sunday noon. We had been to church that morning together Ruth, Will and I and Robert Jennings was expected for our mid-day dinner at one-thirty.
Taffy would consult Mr. Blenkiron's convenience. "The fact is, sir, we've arranged to play Teddy `All this afternoon at Cowley, and the drag starts at one-thirty sharp." "Then I'll get my lunch out of college," said Taffy, wondering who Teddy Hall might be. "I thank you, sir.
At one-thirty I was nearly seven miles above the surface of the earth, and still ascending steadily. I found, however, that the rarefied air was giving markedly less support to my planes, and that my angle of ascent had to be considerably lowered in consequence. It was already clear that even with my light weight and strong engine-power there was a point in front of me where I should be held.
I believe that Dalkeith pere is hanging round somewhere, and in view of my headache perhaps you had better remain in the background for the moment. At one-thirty, then!" Mr. Sabin smiled as she passed out of the room, and lit a cigarette. "I think," he said to himself, "that the arrival of Felix is opportune."
