"Where's the nearest hospital?" I enquired of a group of soldiers loitering outside a barracks. "Give it up! All evacuated!" Our driver needed no more and so we pushed on into the town, while I pantomimed to those behind that I had a wounded man in my arms. In front of the city hall stood a noisy gathering, and in reply to our questions, a middle-aged man jumped on to the step.
"I haven't got no aunt." "Yes, this is your aunt Clarissa. You've heard papa talk of her." "Yes, I remember," said the boy sharply. "I remember one night when he talked of Arden Court and Clarissa, and thumped his forehead on the mantelpiece like that;" and the boy pantomimed the action of despair.
Satan, wincing at this uncomplimentary allusion to himself, replied rather warmly: "My dear sir, were it not for the fact that I feel in particularly good spirits this morning, I should resent your ill-timed remarks and leave you to end your miserable existence with rope or pistol," and Satan pantomimed both suicidal contingencies. "Do you want the violin or not?"
"Oh, eightee for the two?" He nodded. "Well, where's the other?" "Hein?" "The other the third dog. Two are no good." "Yes. Yes," he said angrily, "heap good dog." For answer, a head-shake, the outstretched hand, and the words, "Eightee dolla tabak tea." "Wait," interrupted the Boy, turning to the group of children; "where's the other dog?" Nobody answered. The Boy pantomimed. "We want three dogs."
At their pantomimed suggestion he put on a space-suit and wafted himself over to the airlock of the Callistonian warplane. Inside the central compartment, the strangers placed over his helmet a heavily wired harness, and he found himself instantly in full mental communication with the Callistonian commander.
Don't you see it?" he added, excitedly. "The rubber dagger was only a means to an end. Some one who knew the weakness of Marchant first placed digitalis in his tea. That was possible because of the taste of the tea. Then, in the excitement of the act pantomimed by Errol, Marchant's disease carried him off, exactly as was to be expected under the circumstances. It was clever, diabolically clever.
When he left the miner to be shorn was betraying comic dismay while the other pantomimed the correct use of the implement his thoughtfulness had provided. When he returned after half an-hour's rather nervous walk up another street, the departing miner was clean shaven and one might note the new razor glittering on the low bench beside the battered tin basin.
Mebby you don't realize what we're doing by hitting back to that father of yours. Do you?" She smiled. "And mebby when we get there we'll find him dead," he added. "Dead or alive, everything is up to Blake now and you must help me watch him." He pantomimed this caution by pointing to Blake and the rifle. Then he dropped behind. Over the length of sledge and team he was thirty paces from Blake.
The bill of fare rated their excellence at fifteen cents. "Not unreasonable," I pantomimed. "Not if I pay for them," replied Halicarnassus. Then we sat and amused ourselves after the usual brilliant fashion of people who are waiting in hotel parlors, railroad-stations, and restaurants. We surveyed the gilding and the carpet and the mirrors and the curtains.
He went into the outer room then, where Josephine Tavish was awake. Jolly Roger pantomimed his desire as she sat up. He wanted something from one of the packs. She nodded. On his knees he fumbled in the dunnage, and when he rose to his feet, facing the girl, her eyes opened wide at what he held in his hand a small packet of old newspapers her father was taking to the factor at Fort Churchill.
