Here was a sphere, vastly larger than his own, to the habits and prejudices of which he was complete stranger. It was as James Polder had said as if one or the other spoke Patagonian. He had no wish to acquire the language about him; a positive antagonism to his surrounding possessed him, beyond reason.
"I thought the giants lived in dense forests," said Billy, disgustedly; "this place is a desert." "It was a fortunate accident though that brought us to this shore," said a voice behind them and Professor Sandburr's bony, spectacled face was thrust forward. "I would not have missed it for a great deal. I would like to capture a specimen of a Patagonian alive and take him home in a cage.
And that recipe you gave me for Patagonian soup kept Garvington in quite a good humor for ever so long. But the house will be dull for you without Clara." "Agnes is here, Jane." "I fear Agnes is not much of an entertainer," said that lady, smiling in a weary manner, for this society chatter bored her greatly. "That's not to be wondered at," struck in Miss Greeby abruptly.
For, one day, well off the Patagonian coast, while the sloop was reaching under short sail, a tremendous wave, the culmination, it seemed, of many waves, rolled down upon her in a storm, roaring as it came. I had only a moment to get all sail down and myself up on the peak halliards, out of danger, when I saw the mighty crest towering masthead-high above me.
"And of course, the next thing, you'll ring your snout like a pig or a Patagonian. There, come along, ye darn'd Anomaly." He was going to say "Cuss," but remembering his pupil's late heroic conduct, softened it down to Anomaly. But Vespasian always measured the force of words by their length or obscurity.
Who is it? well may be asked. What name is it that blanches with terror the cheeks of the Patagonian navy? Who but the Pirate Prodigy the relentless Boy Scourer of Patagonian seas? Voyagers slowly drifting by the Silurian beach, coasters along the Devonian shore, still shudder at the name of Bromley Chitterlings the Boy Avenger, late of Hartford, Connecticut.
Nor can we fail to notice the special endeavors that have been exerted by individuals as well as Assemblies for the purpose of establishing contact with minority groups and races in various parts of the world, such as the Jews and Negroes in the United States of America, the Eskimos in Alaska, the Patagonian Indians in Argentina, the Mexican Indians in Mexico, the Inca Indians in Peru, the Cherokee Indians in North Carolina, the Oneida Indians in Wisconsin, the Mayans in Yucatan, the Lapps in Northern Scandinavia, and the Maoris in Rotorua, New Zealand.
"No good?" "'Fraid not. It was hardly to be expected. Whatever you do, don't write." "I won't." Cranbourne glanced at the page again. "This is your real name, I suppose." Richard started, hesitated a bit, then nodded. "There was a Frencham Altar mixed up in that Patagonian business." "My father. Went broke and shot himself, you know." "I remember. Left you on the rocks, so to speak."
She did not know at the time that a giant Patagonian stood beneath the gas lamp at the corner above the Carrithers mansion in St. Charles Avenue. His gaunt, dark face was turned toward her doorway and his fierce eyes seemed to bore holes through the solid oak. "I can't stay very late," he said almost as he responded to the greeting. "Confounded business engagement.
They discussed the meager announcement till they had exhausted every probability and found nothing to hope and everything to fear. "I hope to Heaven he is dead!" cried Ben. "Imagine a man physically weak, like Ponsonby, enduring slow starvation in the damp and chill of the Patagonian seacoast. It will be a positive relief if we hear he fell overboard."
